4 Refreshing Summer Mocktails to Try 1

It’s a hot summer day and you’re craving a sweet & flavorful drink to quench your thirst. Plain old soda or juice won’t do the trick and you may not be in the mood for an alcoholic beverage. Cue in – Mocktails! What are mocktails? Mocktails are the liquor free version of your favorite cocktails. As much as some of us would love to live off mojitos every day, that’s not always the healthiest option. Because they’re sans liquor, these virgin drinks can be healthier and even less expensive than their boozy counterparts. Whether you’re planning a party or just in the mood for a refreshing drink on a hot summer day, Mocktails can be easy + perfect for any occasion!
