Mocktails: Refreshing and Delicious Non-Alcoholic Drinks

Mocktails are cocktail-style drinks that are made without alcoholic ingredients. Also known as “zero proof” drinks, non-alcoholic drinks date back to the early days of the cocktail era, appearing as 'temperance drinks' in the first American bartender's books, including Jerry Thomas's Bartender's Guide.

Mocktails are popular among people who don't drink alcohol, including pregnant women, children, and people who are taking medication. Mocktails are also popular at special occasions, such as weddings, parties, and business meetings.

Mocktails can be made with a variety of ingredients, including fruit juice, soda, syrup, milk, and tea. Mocktails can also be garnished with fruit, ice, or other garnishes.
