Mocktail Recipes

1. Herbal Chamomile Health Tonic

Immunity-boosting ingredients like ginger, lemon, and rosemary are steeped with soothing chamomile tea and honey for a homemade health tonic. While the drink may help when you’re sick, it’s not a quick fix. Drinking wellness tonics, like this one, regularly over time may help boost your immune system. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold.

2. Ginger-Beet Juice

In this healthy ginger-beet juice, we pack in vegetables by adding kale and a carrot, and sweeten with an orange and apple. This refreshing drink is perfect for a hot day or as a pick-me-up any time of the year.

3. Turmeric Latte

Try this vegan turmeric latte made from steamed almond milk and sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. The warm, comforting drink is perfect for a chilly evening or as a relaxing treat any time of day.

4. Fizzy Rosemary Cider Mocktail

Many types of mocktails are high in sugar, but this easy mocktail cuts down on the calories and carbs by using club soda and our sugar-free simple syrup recipe. The combination of rosemary, apple cider, and lemon is a refreshing twist on traditional apple cider.

5. Apple-Ginger Moscow Mule Mocktail

Legend has it that the Moscow Mule was created when three entrepreneurs—a vodka businessman, a ginger-beer maker, and a copper-mug saleswoman—were down on their luck. The copper mug may seem decorative, but some argue it’s the key to keeping your mule colder longer, or that it even adds a bit of flavor. We love this zero-proof version all the same in any ol’ glass.

6. Spinach-Apple Juice

This healthy spinach-apple juice is a green nutrient powerhouse loaded with calcium for bone health, and vitamins A and C for antioxidants. The combination of spinach, apple, and lemon is a refreshing and healthy way to start your day.
