Mocktails: An Introduction

Mocktails are mixed drinks without alcohol. Most mocktails that we are familiar with are smoothies and virgin frozen drinks such as piña coladas, margaritas, and daiquiris. However, there are more options than these when it comes to non-alcoholic drinks. The most famous mocktail might be the Shirley Temple, named after the child actor. Most mocktails can be made by just removing the liquor from the cocktail, but original mocktails can be made as well. There are a lot of mocktail recipes already available, but you can also try to make your own by experimenting with different ingredients. Mocktail ingredients include fruit juices, fruit slices, sodas such as ginger ale and club soda, tonic water, and grenadine. The objectives of this blog are to experiment with non-alcholic alternatives to cocktails and to share recipes.
