Non-Alcoholic

Mocktails are having a lingering moment in the limelight at the moment, and with good reason – a virgin cocktail is a great way to enjoy a tasty, grown-up drink without having any alcohol in the mix if you don’t want it. Whether you are sober-curious, teetotal, or simply looking for a good weeknight alternative, this selection of mocktails will get you ready to clink the clean way.

Interestingly, the mocktail that ushered in the term ‘Virgin’ to describe an alcohol-free cocktail was the Virgin Mary – the more virtuous version of the classic Bloody Mary. The moniker stuck, and today we have everything from dreamily creamy Virgin Pina Coladas, to deeply delicious Virgin Strawberry Daiquiris. Which will you shake up first?
