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.
Tips For Making Mocktails For A Party
- 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.
- 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.
- Chill any carbonated beverages you plan to add to your cocktail when serving.
- Check that your ice is full and ready to be scooped out.
- Set up your bar area with glasses, garnishes, napkins, and other bar supplies.
Garnishes Ideas
Choose fun, editable or aromatic garnishes for your mocktail. It’s the edge that makes for a great party drink. Rim your glasses with colored sugars or salt for an extra flavor added when sipping a mocktail.
- Candied ginger
- Carrot sticks
- Celery stalks (usually with leaves attached)
- Cherries
- Cinnamon sticks
- Olives
- Cocktail pearl onions
- Edible flowers
- Sliced citrus fruits
- Herbs such as mint or sweet basil
- Pineapple slice
- Star anise
