The months of blazing heat are approaching, and we're all sick of sipping the same old virgin mojitos, lemonades, and lassis. So, make way for Cinderella, a fairytale-themed mocktail.  Before we get to the main focus of the matter, let's define a mocktail and see how it differs from a cocktail.  

Mocktails are non-alcoholic beverages that have the same components as cocktails but do not contain alcohol. Cocktails, on the other hand, contain alcohol. Mocktails have been around for a long time and were created for people who went to clubs and pubs but didn't want to consume alcoholic beverages. Due to the wide variety of flavours available, mocktails have become quite popular among young people and even many adults.

Returning to the subject, Cinderella is a vibrantly coloured mocktail made using grenadine, a non-alcoholic syrup used in a variety of cocktails. It gives drinks a pink or scarlet colour that makes them appear amazing. This mocktail also includes orange juice, lemon juice, and pineapple juice with ginger ale, in addition to grenadine. 

The nicest thing about this drink is that it may be had at any time of day, whether it's after lunch or before supper. It's the perfect cool treat for these hot summer days. It also has an exotic appearance, like a drink you'd find on a Miami beach.
