Virgin Mojito Mocktail

At number one (but in no particular order) is the alcohol-free Mojito. A firm favorite with bar-goers, the Mojito offers drinkers a delightfully refreshing cocktail.

Filled with lime ‘zingyness’, sugar sweetness and mint freshness, they’re undeniably easy to drink.

There are such strong flavors in the original alcoholic recipe, omitting the rum doesn’t radically change anything.

What’s even better about this recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile and most fresh fruit can be used.

Not keen on a strong citrus taste?

Use strawberries, raspberries, passionfruit or even lychee instead.

For sure, the Virgin Mojito is one of the best non-alcoholic drinks to order at a bar, but don’t just take our word on it, get out there and try it for yourself.

Ingredients: Fresh lime juice, lime wedges, sugar syrup, mint leaves, soda water

Other Variations: Virgin Strawberry Mojito, Raspberry Nojito, Ginger and Lemon Nojito

Most Popular Mocktails – Virgin Bloody Mary

Traditionally made with vodka, the Virgin Bloody Mary is absolutely here to satisfy your savoury cravings.

With excellently balanced flavors and the potential to fill you up, it’s great as a sipping drink.

But make sure you find somewhere that’s known for their Bloody Mary’s.

The last thing you want is watery tomato cocktail or something resembling the Dead Sea.

Ingredients: Tomato juice, Worcester sauce, Tabasco sauce, celery salt, pepper, fresh lime juice

Shirley Temple Mocktail

This is a recommendation that hasn’t derived from an alcoholic cocktail.

Inspired by child actress, Shirley Temple, it’s been a favorite with mocktail enthusiasts since its creation.

These days, the non-alcoholic drink has many variations, however traditionally it was just ginger ale and grenadine.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then this is definitely for you.

It owes all of its popularity to the simplicity of the recipe.

With just two ingredients, the Temple tantalizes taste buds with fiery ginger and a smooth, sweet dose of grenadine.

It’s a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Drinking alcohol will never be the same again once you try a Shirley Temple.

Ingredients: Grenadine, ginger ale

Other Variations: Orange Shirley

Most Popular Mocktails – Arnold Palmer

With a mixture of tea, lemon juice and sugar syrup, you could be forgiven for believing the Arnold Palmer was a fancy name for iced tea.

Well, you wouldn’t necessarily be wrong with that assumption.

Serving us brewed refreshment vibes, the Arnold Palmer is not just a great non-alcoholic drink, but also a little bit of a detoxifier (minus the sugar).

Feel free to add a little club soda to make things fizzy or a lemon syrup to get things more lemony.

However, as for the original recipe, simply build it up in a highball glass and add a straw for a nice glass of cold tea.

Ingredients: English Breakfast tea, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup

Non-Alcoholic Moscow Mule Mocktail

Traditionally served up in stunning copper mugs, the Moscow Mule is a longtime bar favorite.

The Mule provides a refreshing, tangy taste to those who enjoy this classic flavor combination.

Now, you might have noticed that the Non-Alcoholic Moscow Mule asks for ginger beer not ale.

In respect of the original recipe, this is very important. Ginger beer has a much more authentic ginger taste to it than a ginger ale, as it’s brewed with real ginger.

It’s this strong ginger flavor that’s key to a Moscow Mule and its non-alcoholic cousin too.

Try adding a little lemon-lime soda to your Non-Alcoholic Moscow Mule for an even more powerful citrus hit.

Ingredients: Fresh lime juice, ginger beer

Other Variations: Grapefruit Mule (made with a little grapefruit juice)

Most Popular Mocktails – Roy Rogers

The Roy Rogers is out there for anyone who loves a super sweet cocktail.

The Shirley Temple was seen more as a girl’s mocktail (the horror), so boys obviously needed an alternative.

To differentiate the Rogers from the Temple, they used that famously manly drink, Coca-Cola (probably for its color).

Now, boys across the States could rest easy knowing there was an appropriate boys option for a mocktail.

Anyway, if you really love sweet drinks and really hate the color pink, the Roy Rogers is the man for you!

Ingredients: Coca-Cola, grenadine

Non-Alcoholic Gin and Tonic Mocktail

The Gin and Tonic has that famous botanical flavor that is hard to replace when it isn’t gin.

However, the recent release of various 0 % gins means that your favorite summer drink is only a pour away.

No more will you have to mix some weird botanical-infused syrup with lemon juice and club soda.

If you’re looking for the real deal (minus the alcohol), get on the non-alcoholic spirits quick.

Ingredients: Non-alcoholic gin, tonic water

Other Variations: Non-Alcoholic Pink Gin and Tonic

Most Popular Mocktails – No Tequila Sunrise

Craving warmer beachside feels during these winter months?

With just two simple ingredients, you can make your very own tropical drink.

Simply add a little tequila if you want to turn this mocktail into a cocktail.

The No Tequila Sunrise is a great drink.

Ingredients: Orange juice, grenadine

Other variations: Ginger Sunrise

Abstinence On The Beach Mocktail

By omitting the vodka from its recipe, the Sex On The Beach becomes the Abstinence On The Beach.

Still retaining its iconic fruity taste, it’s a classic fruit juice mocktail.

By using cranberry juice, orange juice and a bit of peach puree, this one almost feels like an actual cocktail.

Plus, because of the peach purée, your bartender will still have to shake this mocktail up.

So, not only will you be getting a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail, but also a great bartending performance, fit for any non-drinker!

A firm favorite with nuns all over the world, the power of Christ compels you to try a bit of Abstinence.

Ingredients: Peach purée, cranberry juice, orange juice

Other Variations: Cuddles On The Beach

Most Popular Mocktails – SHAMpagne

Champagne, Cava and Prosecco are some of the most popular drinks out there, especially at a bottomless brunch.

But these aren’t non-alcoholic.

Yes, you might be able to get a non-alcoholic sparkling wine, however you’ll be doing your tastes buds a disservice.

Let’s try a proper alternative…

The SHAMpagne mocktail is an excellent substitute for Champagne.

With a combination of apple juice and ginger beer, it’s a close alternative to the famous French drink, without the alcohol.

Not only is it sparkling but it also holds that famous Champagne tartness, so you won’t be missing out.

If you want it just that little bit more acidic in taste, add a bit of lemon juice to give your cheeks a good slapping.

Ingredients: Apple juice, ginger beer

Other Variations: Pink Champagne mocktail
