Cocktail is one of the best drinks to savor during summer. It’s a special drink that contains the freshness of fruit juice, mixed with alcohol to enhance its taste. Popular alcoholic cocktails typically contain gin, whiskey, rum, or vodka as their base liquor.

But what if you want to drink a cocktail without the alcohol? Well, that’s where mocktails come in! Mocktails are like cocktails, but they don’t have any alcohol in them. Mocktails are made by combining fruit juices and soda. Mocktails are a great choice if you want a refreshing drink with fruity flavors. These drinks are not only refreshing but also packed with vitamins which are very good for your body!

Want to enjoy a cold and refreshing drink? You can try this fresh non-alcoholic recipe drink that we’ve curated below. Not only is the recipe really easy to create at home, but it can also give you a taste of freshness. Perfect to make before the summer ends!
