Top 5 Best Mocktail Recipes

By: Ellie Ziegelbein

Mocktails are very irresistible when served in pretty, chilled tall glasses. No one can say NO to a cool refreshing glass of some delicious concoction on a hot summer day. They are easy to make too!



1.Virgin Margarita

Virgin Margaritas taste really similar to limeade. They are very sweet and sour, with salt-rimmed along the side of the glass to balance the flavor out.

Recipe:

  • ½ cup of crushed ice

  • 1 ¼ cup of non-alcoholic mar/garita mix (I use Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix)

  • Margarita salt

  • Lime juice (water works too)



Wet the rim of your desired glass with the lime juice or water, and then roll it in margarita salt. Add the ice and margarita mix to your glass and enjoy!



2.Shirley Temple

Shirley Temples taste like cherry-sprite (which is literally what it is).

Recipe:

  • 1 ⅓ cup of sprite or ginger ale

  • 1 tablespoon of grenadine (what gives it its cherry flavor)

  • Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

  • A few ice cubes



Combine sprite or ginger ale and grenadine in a cup. Add a few cherries and ice cubes and enjoy this refreshing treat!



3.Non Alcoholic Sangria

Non-alcoholic sangrias taste like a super fruity, fizzy drink. It is made from a large variety of fruit, including oranges, lemon, lime, apples, and blackberries.

This recipe is longer than the majority on this page, so I linked the recipe.



4.Virgin Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

Virgin frozen strawberry daiquiris taste like a sweet strawberry slushie.

Recipe:

  • 1 cup of non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri mix (I use Mr & Mrs. T brand)

  • 1.5 cups of ice

  • ¼ cup of sliced strawberries (if desired)


In a blender blend the ice, daiquiri mix, and strawberries until it turns into a slushie. Pour into a cup and delight in its refreshing taste!



5.Virgin Piña Colada

Virgin piña coladas are my favorite cocktail to drink. They taste like a sweet, creamy coconut and pineapple slushie.

Recipe:

  • 1 cup of piña colada mix (I use Mr & Mrs T piña colada mix)

  • 1.5 cups of ice

  • Two big scoops of vanilla ice cream

  • ¼ cup of pineapple chunks (if desired)


In a blender, combine all ingredients until it turns into a slushie. Add to a glass and taste vacation vibes.
