Mocktail Recipes for People who Don't like mocktails?
I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of mocktails. In fact, I don’t even really enjoy cocktails that much. Alcohol, yes, but a sugary and complicated drink without alcohol? No thanks.
Sure, I’ll take one if I’m out and about- I even went on a vacation to Mississippi where I drank breakfast cocktails every morning! Yeah, that was fun.
Basically, I only like a cocktail if someone makes it for me, which means when it comes to mocktails, I don’t ever feel the need to make one.
I knew there had to be a better way to make a fun drink without all the work and sugar. One that tastes great even without the alcohol. That’s why I reached out to some of my favorite bloggers to find their easiest, most delicious, and not overly sweet mocktail recipes.

What is the difference between a cocktail and a mocktail?
It’s simple- the only difference is that one has alcohol and one doesn’t.
Mocktails are “mock” cocktails. A mocktail typically has everything that a cocktail has with the exception of alcohol.
A good mocktail recipe accounts for the lack of alcohol and subs in something that will replace the flavor. For example, the kombucha cocktail above is a genius way to get the taste of alcohol without actually using alcohol.
