No booze? No problem!

Whoever says you need alcohol to make things exciting is lying. Mocktails are very good examples of things that don’t need alcohol in them but they are just as fun and yummy to drink. They can even be made exactly like your favorite signature cocktail but without the massive hangover the next day.

Obviously, it’s perfect for pregnant women or those who are avoiding alcohol. However, even if you’re not trying to be sober consciously, sometimes, you just want to have that alcohol-free fancy drink option. You can start with these mocktail recipes on this list to try.
