What is a Mocktail?

A mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink meant to mimic a craft cocktail! They’re typically made with the same tools and techniques as cocktails, just without the alcohol. Mocktails are great when you want to cut back on alcohol but want to avoid sipping on a boring soda or feeling left out at get-togethers. A great example of a mocktail is a Shirley Temple, which is said to be the original mocktail! Think ginger ale, cherries, lemon, and fizz in a tall classic glass. It’s sweet, bubbly, and a very cute example of a well-known classic mocktail!

Zero Booze, Zero Problems

If you’re craving something light and refreshing without the booze, I’ve got you covered with this fizzy tropical mocktail! It’s perfectly sweet, slightly spicy, and bright in flavor. The sweetness not only comes from the drink itself but also from the minty sugar rim. The kick of spice comes from the ginger beer, and the brightness comes from the fruit juices and fresh mint leaves. Plus, since there’s no booze in this drink, you don’t have to worry about the negative side effects you’ve maybe dealt with before… like a hangover!! Zero booze, zero problems!

This Pineapple Ginger Beer Mocktail is:

• Quick and easy to make
• Sweet, but not sickly sweet
• Fresh, light, and bright
• Slightly spicy
