Mocktail Recipes Worth Making
Mocktails aren't just cocktails with the alcohol removed — the best ones are built from scratch with non-alcoholic flavour in mind. That means using fresh juices, shrubs, bitters, flavoured syrups, sparkling water, and quality mixers to create drinks with depth, balance, and proper structure. These recipes are designed for people who don't drink, people taking a break, designated drivers, pregnant guests, and anyone who wants something more interesting than a soft drink.
Each recipe specifies the exact mixers and syrups used, with alternatives where possible. Preparation time is under 10 minutes for most. Several can be batch-made for parties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are mocktails just fruit juice?
Not these. They're built with layers of flavour — acids, syrups, aromatics, and texture — that mimic cocktail structure without the alcohol.
What equipment do I need?
A shaker helps for some, but most can be built in the glass or a jug. Each recipe specifies what's needed.
Can I batch these for a party?
Yes — several recipes include batch instructions in the make-ahead section.
Are these suitable for children?
Yes — all mocktails here are fully alcohol-free. Check each recipe for caffeine content if relevant.
