7 Popular And Refreshing Mocktails To Try This Summer
Gatherings, birthday celebrations, potlucks, Christmas, and Valentine's Day... A sizable pitcher of a delectable mocktail will take care of everything. Everyone, from adults to children, can grin when they see a beautiful, delicious mocktail. For any gathering, it's customary to load up on beer, wine, and booze.
A smart host or hostess, though, wouldn't forget to set up space for a pitcher of non-alcoholic beverages. This will cover everyone who abstains from alcohol, including children, pregnant women, and new mothers. When presented in attractive, cold tall glasses, they are quite hard to refuse. On a scorching summer day, no one can refuse a cool, refreshing glass of some delectable concoction.
If you want to save money, avoid needless calories, or simply enjoy a drink without the associated hangover, then mocktails are for you. Here are some popular mocktails:
1.Hibiscus mocktail
The more colorful and eye-catching the mocktail, the merrier, and these red glasses of deliciousness certainly fit the bill. This might just become your new favorite beverage with a base of hibiscus tea mix, some sparkling water or soda water for fizz, and a splash of lemon zest and simple syrup for contrast.
2.Honey blackberry mocktail with mint
These mocktails are the ideal marriage of sweetness (honey), sour (blackberries, lime juice), and fresh. They are bubbly, effervescent, and have that lovely blackberry tang (mint leaves). Four of these can be made in only ten minutes, and thanks to the blackberries and fresh mint on top, they resemble liquid works of art.
3.Blueberry mint and lime mocktail
It's difficult to know where to begin with this mocktail because it has a lot going on. One reason it's beautiful is that it combines the rich purple of blueberries with the pink of pink lemonade concentrate and the green of lime and mint leaves. Additionally, it has a very complex flavor with distinct sugary, sour, and earthy undertones. Even the most ardent whiskey drinker would find it difficult to reject this wonderful beverage.
4.Ginger pomegranate mocktail
There are just five ingredients needed to make this wonderful drink, which has all the richness and bite of a true cocktail. In a shaker with some ice, combine the pomegranate juice, tonic water, freshly powdered ginger root, and agave syrup. For added style, shake it well and pour it into a martini glass. Don't forget to garnish with a few pomegranate seeds on top and a lemon or lime wedge on the side.
5.Citrus strawberry mocktail
The thick, slush topping and the salt rim of this pretty-in-pink beverage are my favorites. Without even any tequila on hand, this beverage is unquestionably the closest you can come to a strawberry margarita. A gorgeous umbrella, a colorful straw, and some strawberry and lime slices on the side will dress it up and make it a delight that everyone will want to try.
6.Lemon basil spritzer
The lemon basil spritzer is a refreshing beverage that nonetheless has a festive and stimulating appearance. Although the flavor is more akin to bubbly lemon water than anything boozy, it does look great and the basil does provide a little something extra. Be sure to get the right glass for this one. It's not as naturally beautiful as a few of the others on the list because it's mostly clear and doesn't employ a lot of garnishes. But when served in the right stemware, it's refined, elegant, and classy.
7.Kiwi spritzer
The kiwi spritzer is perfect if you enjoy mocktails that lean more toward the acidic side than the sweet. It's deliciously bubbly and ridiculously simple to make. Lime, soda water, and simple syrup should be combined. Then garnishes can be added on the side, and you're ready to go. Add a couple of kiwi slices and some crushed ice. Adding some mint leaves to the beverage can help to balance out the sourness if it's a touch too much for you.
