Making mocktails can be a super fun experience, letting you experiment with flavors and presentation without the need for alcohol. But we think they can always be more fun! Here are our top tips from our cocktail pros to elevate your mocktail game.
Get creative with garnishes
We love garnishes. They’re an easy way to enhance the visual appeal of your mocktails. We suggest using fruit slices, edible flowers, or even candy skewers to add a playful and colorful touch. Just remember to make sure they match the overall flavor of your drink.
Play with glasses
We suggest using fun and unique glassware to serve your mocktails, like mason jars, tiki mugs, or vintage cocktail glasses. You can also rim the glasses with sugar, salt, or spices to add an extra flavor dimension to your mocktail.
Make flavored ice cubes
Make your own flavored ice cubes using coffee, fruit, spices, or edible flowers. As they melt, they will gradually infuse your drink with additional flavors, keeping your mocktail fun and exciting from start to finish. Obviously, as long as they keep in line with the recipe.
Create a mocktail station
If you’re hosting a party, our fun tip is to set up a mocktail station where guests can mix and match ingredients to create their own personalized drinks. We suggest providing the base recipe, and then a variety of syrups, spices, and garnishes, and let the creativity flow!
