What is a mocktail?
A mocktail is the non-alcoholic version of a classic cocktail. Basically, it a drink without alcohol. Many alcoholic drinks can be made into mocktails by simply omitting the alcohol.
Mocktails are a great option for pregnant ladies, designated drivers, or for someone who does not want to drink alcohol, whatever their reason may be. There are plenty of fun mocktails out there and they are actually becoming fairly popular right now. Mocktails are usually filled with fresh ingredients and fruit juices.
What makes a good mocktail during pregnancy?
Drinking mocktails is one of the best ways to get fruit in when you are pregnant. Sometimes it can be hard to eat something without getting an upset stomach, so drinks are preferred. There are plenty of healthy mocktails out there, so depending on which mocktail you get, you can get in some nutrients.
Some common ingredients in mocktails are lemon juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, coconut milk, fresh lime juice (which we use in our tasty ginger beer mocktail), cranberry juice, coconut water, and plenty of other nutritious things. Mocktails have the perfect blend of taste and hydration.
