Our Top Mocktails to Make
Mocktail recipes to serve at a party…or anytime
You’re the chemist; these drinks are your mixology
There comes a time in life when suddenly your social circles delve past the realm of cocktails spirited with liquor and high ABV, and consider the mysterious depths of mocktails. Let us assure you—this world of mocktails is flourishing with flavor and can even ease energy issues and crazy moods. Botanicals and adaptogens in an evening beverage? Yes please. Here are our favorite mixes to stir up for your social gatherings. Or your daily nightcap.
Our Go-To Mocktails
Gin-Spired Sparkling Water
So fresh, you’ll think it was a high-end G&T.
- Sparkling water of choice—we love Perrier
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz agave
- Mint sprig
- Bitters
Mix it up: Drop in a splash of berry syrup to sweeten, or a touch of balsamic vinegar. Remember the DIY Coke recipe with balsamic that ran rampant on TikTok? It still (sort of) applies.
Espresso Mock-tini
Drink this warm or over ice. Essentially a latte, but when you serve it in a martini glass, or a clear mug, this is an elevated espresso martini.
- Coffee
- Milk of choice (or sub heavy whipping cream)
- Hot cocoa
- Cinnamon
Pour these ingredients in desired amounts: more coffee = richer; more milk = creamier. See the quick math we did there?
Mix it up:
- Garnish with dark chocolate ganache or chocolate sprinkles.
- Dollop a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your guests’ nights will be made.
- Freeze coffee ice cubes (in fun shapes, of course) to sub for ice, and prolong your drink’s flavor.
- If serving warm, froth the milk and stir in a touch of honey to sweeten.
Spicy Marg-tail
Who knew it wasn’t tequila that made margs so addicting?
- 1 cup ice
- Salt for rim
- 4 slices fresh jalapeno
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
How To Mix:
- Rub the lime slice around the glass rim; dip rim in salt.
- Fill glass with ice.
- Add jalapeno slices.
- Pour orange and lime juice over ice.
- Stir: and check these fun drink stirrers to make it even better.
To garnish, top the rims with sliced limes, jalapenos, and coarse salt.
Mix it up: Add a splash of watermelon sparkling water, or a mango syrup to inspire a mango margarita.
When it comes to mocktails, have fun trying new things. You’re the mixologist, and there’s no alcohol to overdo the amount. So you can’t really go wrong, right?
