Mocktails are non-alcoholic mixed drinks that offer the same fun, colourful, and refreshing vibe as cocktails. They’re usually made with fruit juices, herbs, soda, syrups, and garnishes like mint or lemon.
A classic refresher made with muddled mint, lime juice, sugar, and soda water is served with crushed ice for a fizzy, cooling kick.
Orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine layered beautifully to resemble a sunset and garnished with a cherry or orange slice.
Fresh watermelon juice blended with lime juice and a hint of mint, topped with sparkling water for a perfect summer drink.
Apple juice is shaken with grated ginger, lemon juice, then poured over ice and topped with soda for a sweet-spicy balance.
Crushed strawberries, basil leaves, mixed with lemonade, create a fragrant and fruity mocktail, best served chilled with lots of ice.
