    Mocktails for kids pin

    These mocktails for kids are easy mocktails that are great for the whole family. You will love the taste and your kids will love drinking a fancy drink.

    First off, what is a mocktail? It is basically a non-alcoholic cocktail; it is the same recipe and has the same flavor as a cocktail but takes out the alcohol.

    Mocktails are a good option for special occasions because they allow options for everyone, not just those who are 21+. Non-alcoholic drinks are also great for those who choose not to drink alcohol.

    They are great for New Year’s Eve, a birthday party, a baby shower, and many other special events. They are especially a great option for kids’ parties. The kiddos will love having a fun drink to enjoy in a pretty glass.

    What are mocktails made of?

    Some people wonder if mocktails are just juice, but that isn’t the case! Juices like orange juice, cranberry juice, grape juice, and grapefruit juice can be used in non-alcoholic drinks, but there is much more to it.

    You’ll find delicious mocktail recipes that use non-alcoholic spirits and simple syrups instead of juices. I am a big fan of simple syrups in my mocktails. Syrups are a great addition to fun mocktails.

    When to serve mocktails

    Mocktails are the perfect party drink because you can match the delicious mocktails to the party’s theme. Festive mocktails are fun recipes to try, as they are delicious and pretty.

    They also make the perfect summer drink. After sitting in the sun all day, you need a drink with fresh fruits, fun paper straws, and a fun cocktail glass. A mocktail really is the best refreshing summer drink.

    Truthfully, you can have a mocktail at any time. I love making them for a party, but I also love to make them for my family. Sometimes I will even make a single serving for myself at night.

    Keep reading for some amazing mocktail recipes that I know you will love. Some are great for the festive season, and some are great for every day.
