5 Easy Non-Alcoholic Drinks to Elevate Any Occasion

Mocktails, zero-proof cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks—whatever you want to call them, they’re having a big moment. More and more people are going alcohol-free, with more and more bars and other watering holes adding zero-proof and low-proof cocktails to their menu.

Instead of going to the mocktail, though, you can also bring it to you, and you don’t even need a lot of bartending skills to make them. Forget overcomplicated cocktails. Looking for easy non-alcoholic drinks that taste amazing? These zero-proof recipes are refreshing, simple to make, and perfect for any gathering.

5 Simple Drink Recipes With No Alcohol

One-Minute Cranberry Mocktail

If you’re not counting the ice, this one-minute cranberry mocktail, courtesy of the Mindful Mocktail, is just two ingredients. 

●     First, fill a tall glass with crushed ice.

●     Then, fill that glass halfway up with low-sugar cranberry juice.

●     Finish it off by topping it off with the sparkling beverage of your choice, like BEAU VIVA’s alcohol-free sparkling rosé.

This cranberry mocktail is perfect for fall and winter celebrations. Cranberry is also pretty versatile. For a Thanksgiving celebration, you might consider adding some sage or thyme to complement your big Turkey Day meal. Or for the winter holidays, add a little mint or orange for a unique twist. Even with the addition of one ingredient, you’re still looking at a simple cocktail that’ll only take minutes to make. This non-alcoholic cocktail is fruity, refreshing, and ideal for summer evenings.

Floral Garden

The base for the Floral Garden, courtesy of Free to Flower, takes just three ingredients. Start with rose syrup, which you can buy in stores or make yourself with a recipe like this one. 

●     Add just a few drops (rose can be a very strong flavor) into a glass with lavender flowers.

●     Then, pour 30 mL of sparkling water or alcohol-free sparkling wine, like BEAU VIVA, over the top

●     Gently swirl to combine all flavors.

Add ice, and then fill the glass up with the same sparkling wine or water. If you really want to lean into the garden party feel of this drink, consider garnishing with berries and edible flowers.

Honey Lemon Ginger Beer Mocktail

The honey lemon ginger beer mocktail, courtesy of Chelsea Dishes, tastes like home in a glass. This comforting zero-proof cocktail takes a little longer to make than other recipes on this list because you need to start by making a homemade honey syrup. But the whole recipe still takes less than 10 minutes. And aside from water and ice, it’s still just three ingredients.

●     Start by warming up a fourth cup of hot water until steaming.

●     Then, add a fourth cup of honey and stir until dissolved. Set it aside to cool.

●     In a rocks glass, add one ounce of lemon juice, one ounce of the cooled honey syrup, and one ounce of cold water.

●     Stir to combine before filling the glass with crushed ice.

●     Top it off with ginger beer.

●     Consider garnishing with lemon wheels, if you don’t mind adding in just one more ingredient.

Peppermint Tea Mocktail

Another courtesy of the Mindful Mocktail, this peppermint tea mocktail takes just three ingredients: peppermint tea, a lemon, and the sparkling beverage of your choice. Not only is this drink a perfect fit for the winter holidays, but it also has some health benefits, as peppermint tea is good for digestion, cramps, headaches, and a whole lot more.

●     First, use two peppermint tea bags to make the tea in a cup of boiling water. If you want, you can also add honey during this step.

●     Then, zest and juice the lemon.

●     Once your tea is cool, add it to a large jug with the zest and the juice.

●     Stir it up and pour it out into two glasses with ice.

●     Top the glasses off with soda water or another sparkling non-alcoholic beverage, like BEAU VIVA’s sparkling wine.

Cherry Lime Rickey

The Lime Rickey and its alcoholic cousin, the Gin Rickey, are old classics for a reason. This Cherry Lime Rickey recipe, courtesy of A Couple Cooks, tastes like visiting the old soda shop of days gone by.

●     First off, add one ounce of fresh lime juice and a half-ounce of cherry cocktail syrup to a highball glass and stir.

●     Fill the glass with ice and top off with sparkling water or sparkling wine, like BEAU VIVA.

●     For a garnish, you can add Maraschino cherries and lime wedges or wheels.
