Spring Mocktails

Here you will find the perfect mocktail recipe for your next party. These recipes are perfect to make in small batches or large punch bowls.

What is a mocktail?

A mocktail is a cocktail without the liquor. Instead, juices, sodas, infused waters, fruits, and many other non-alcoholic ingredients, are mixed to create a delicious flavored drink.

What makes mocktails good?

 A good mocktail will appeal to the senses of the person drinking it. First, a sense of taste with quality ingredients such as juices, sodas and, housemade syrups. It will also be pleasing to the sense of smell with touches of aromatics like cinnamon sticks or fresh-cut herbs. Then it will be pleasing to the eye with an attention to detail by choosing pretty glasses and trendy touches for garnishes.

What are spring mocktails?

Spring mocktails have fresh fruity flavors and light pastel colors such as pinks and purples. They could center around an Easter theme or even Mother’s Day.

Tips for making a big batch for entertaining

1. You can begin to batch your mocktail in advance by combining all shelf-stable (whatever will not go flat) ingredients in a well-sealed container and pre-chill in your fridge. If you plan on several types of mocktails, then label each pitcher.
2. Slice any fruit or garnishes, being sure to brush a little lemon juice on them if they tend to brown and store in an air-tight container.
3. Chill any carbonated beverages you plan to add to your cocktail when serving.
4. Check that your ice is full and ready to be scooped out.
5. Set up your bar area with glasses, garnishes, napkins, and other bar supplies.

Tips for glasses to use for serving

Get creative and have fun serving your apple cider mocktail. Try serving in unique cocktail glasses. Be sure they are clear, so your garnish of apple slices, cinnamon stick, or rosemary shines through.
