Do you enjoy the process of crafting cocktails to sip on, but need to skip the booze? Cocktail making is a hobby I took on during the pandemic. I love trying new recipes from Pinterest and creating my own concoctions. As I write this post, I recently gave birth to my second child and am currently breastfeeding. It’s going to be a while before I can enjoy a craft cocktail, and these easy mocktail recipes have come in handy!
The secret to a good mocktail is complexity. It needs to have something more to it, or else it ends up just tasting like juice. I enjoy adding elements like foam, fizz, mint, muddled fruit, or special ingredients like cinnamon and vanilla extract.
As I’ve been on a huge mocktail kick on this blog lately, I’ve rounded up a collection of all of my recent easy mocktail recipes. These come in a variety of flavors, so there’s something for all taste buds and for every season.
This delicious mocktail is reminiscent of lavender lemonade, but I added an ingredient that you’ll find in a classic whiskey sour: foam. This takes the drink to the next level and makes it special.

This mocktail contains fresh squeezed plum and apple juice. It is super sweet and tastes just like fall, but it’s light enough to be a transitional drink between summer and winter.
This easy mocktail recipe combines the flavors of muddled strawberry, fresh garden mint, and lemon juice. It’s a refreshing drink that both my husband and I enjoyed.
This drink was something I created after my daughter’s first birthday party. She had a berry themed soirée, and I ended up using the leftover berries for this sweet lemonade.
Blood orange is one of my favorite flavors for cocktails and mocktails. It’s sweeter and less acidic than regular oranges. The flavors in this mocktail are just amazing.
Here’s another fall mocktail – fresh squeezed apple juice paired with cinnamon and maple syrup makes for a very sweet drink, with a splash of lemon juice to balance the sweetness.

Design, thrifting, and entertaining are my passion, and I share that passion with you through this blog. I also love being in the kitchen and crafting cocktails. I love Jesus and occasionally, I talk about him too. He has been so powerful in my life, and I love to bring him glory with my hobbies.
