Brilliant Non-Alcoholic Cocktails Everyone Loves - Guide Recipe
Non-alcoholic cocktails don’t have to be a bummer. And , there are an increasing number of reasons to enjoy them over their boozy counterpoints. For example , if you’re pregnant , if you’re attempting to improve your health overall , if you’re taking a break from alcohol , or if you’re just tired of waking up a bit groggy.
Winding Down with a Drink
That said , having something special to drink at the end of a day is a favorite ritual. A celebration of sorts , and a way for to transition from to-do list mode , into a more relaxed frame of mind. I’m hoping these will provide some booze-free inspiration. Play around with aqua frescas , shrubs , kombuchas , and fresh fruit syrups. All can be fun components in mocktail type drinks. I like to keep the components in nice jars and decanters , and serve in pretty glassware. Enjoy!
1. Rose & Rhubarb Soda – (QUITOKEETO)
Keep blushy pink rhubarb syrup on hand , and you’re just a splash away from a special soda. Love this for brunches , and if you serve the syrup on the side everyone can sweeten to their liking. Get the recipe here.
2. Hibiscus , Lemongrass , Basil , and Honey Sweet Iced Tea – (Half Baked Harvest)
If there’s hibiscus being brewed , I’m drinking it. Especially if something like this! I love the tangy sourness of this flower , and the incredible saturation of (anti-oxidant-packed) color. Hibiscus , lemongrass , lime and basil , in one electric iced tea. Get the recipe here.
3. Beet-Sumac Soda – (Healthyish)
Just look at that color! Fresh beet juice is paired with a quick syrup made from tangy sumac. Then you have bit of spritz from soda water , and a jolt of fresh lemon. Love this for autumn. Get the recipe here.

This is what you do with any leftover tarragon you find in your refrigerator.
