Introduction

Non-alcoholic drinks provide a fun and convenient alternative to this problem. These drinks, from sour apple spritz to tropical mocktail, can be enjoyed without the high. This practical manual offers a range of non-alcoholic beverages and how they can be prepared and served to make them attractive, tasty drinks.

Refreshing Infused Waters

I absolutely love infused waters- they’re a easy, classy way to stay hydrated! Begin by choosing: Fresh fruits, herbs and even vegetables. Popular options are cucumber, mint, lemon, and berries. Cut them up and put the in a pitcher of cold water. Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours so the flavors blend. Serve in transparent glasses to highlight the lovely colors, very elegant for entertaining. These are great in the summer to cool down or a nice twist at parties.

Invigorating Herbal Teas

Herb teas are the soothing and non-caffeine way to go. And with an array of flavors to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Select a flavor like chamomile, peppermint or hibiscus. Steep tea bags or loose leaves in freshly boiled water for a few minutes. Sweeten with honey, lemon or a cinnamon stick if you like. Pour into a cozy mug or fragile teacup, whatever suits your mood! Herbal teas are both soothing to drink hot, or oh so refreshing and almost sweet when served as an iced tea.

Fruity Mocktails

Mocktails offer all the fun and flair of cocktails without alcohol. First things first: choose a base (carbonated, still water or juice)! Finish with some fresh fruit, syrups and a few botanicals. A perfect example is the Virgin Mojito, which uses mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup and soda water. Muddle the mint and lime, shake with syrup and ice, then pour over soda. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with lime or mint. These fun sodas bring the party back to your drink minus the beastly hangover.

Creamy Smoothies

Smoothies are a healthy, sweet treat for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Begin with a base of yogurt or almond milk. Tumble in fresh or frozen fruit, like bananas, berries and mangoes. For extra nutrients, throw in spinach or chia seeds, or add a scoop of protein powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. Place in a tall glass and garnish with fruit slice or seeds. Not only do these smoothies satisfy your taste buds, but they are also loaded with nutrients so that you’re kicking off your day on the right foot.

Chilled Iced Coffees

Iced coffee is a very cool spin on a perennial favourite. Start by brewing a pot of coffee. Pour it over ice in a tall glass once cool. Serve with milk, cream, or flavored syrups such as vanilla or caramel. For an added bonus, finish with whipped cream and a little syrup. Add a straw for sipping and you are good to go. If you like coffee, Iced Coffee is a wonderful option to cool off on hot days.
