30 Refreshing Mocktail Recipes That Make Skipping Booze Easy

Booze-free beverages are having a moment. Trendy nonalcoholic drinks are gaining market share, sophisticated mocktails are becoming more commonplace on drink menus, and creative homemade mocktail recipes are all over popular food blogs.

There are a lot of really good reasons to choose an alcohol-free drink, but there’s one thing all mocktail drinkers can agree on: It’s got to taste as delicious and complex as any adult beverage. The best mocktail recipes are made with a thoughtful combination of flavorful ingredients. Some of those include juicy berries, fresh herbs, warming spices, tart citrus juices and vinegars, fizzy seltzers, steeped teas, fermented kombuchas, and sweeteners like honey.

So make a batch for yourself to sip with dinner or a movie, or for family members of all ages to enjoy. (You can always give adults the option of spiking their own cup, if you like—but honestly, these mocktails are so good that no one will be missing the booze.)
