DH and I have just finished setting up his bar and when we christened it this weekend, i realised we had very few recipes for interesting, non-alcoholic drinks!! i will have the occassional drink (mainly just small samples when we create something new) - but wondering if anyone can help me out with simple mocktail recipes? we have a number of friends whose hubby's drink, and they're relegated to tea/coffee or softdrink - would love to be able to offer them something tasty so they don't feel left out (plus i'm TTC, and not drinking either, so it would be nice to be able to have something for me too...)
I'm having a chicks night tomorrow, and I thought some mocktails would go nicely with fruit salad and chocolate fountain!! I'm doing a google search, but I thought I'd ask...
Here are some mocktails that I included at my birthday party last year
Shirley Temple
• Add a scoop of crushed ice into a glass
• Pour in 180ml Lemon-Lime Soda/Ginger Ale mix
• Add a dash of Grenadine
• Serve, drink & enjoy your Shirley Temple mocktail
Icy Red Berry
• Add 160ml Red Berry mix to a tall glass (Fresh Strawberries crushed into Cranberry Juice)
• Top with Lemonade
• Serve, drink & enjoy your Icy Red Berry mocktail
Cinderella
• Pour 30ml Lemon Juice, 30ml Orange Juice, 30ml Pineapple Juice, 60ml Ginger Ale into a shaker with ice cubes
• Shake well, strain into a glass filled with ice
• Garnish with Pineapple pieces and Orange slices
• Add a dash of Grenadine
• Serve, drink & enjoy your Cinderella mocktail
We did mocktails for a mums night at work -
Hmmm, we did a cranberry, orange and lemonaide one with crushed ice and lime cordial, lemonaide and pineapple juice I think the other one was.
My work does a Kris Kringle Lunch and we all bring something. I've decided to take Mocktails... but I can't find any receipes!!!! Can anyone help me out? They need to be something I can make the night before or quick and easy to make on the day (I'm happy to take my little blender to work but it really has to be quick and easy if I'm doing it at work... gotta still look after my patients!)
.Ingredients:
•1 cup pineapple juice
•1 cup crushed pineapple
•1/2 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)
•juice from one lime
•ice to top of blender
Preparation:
Blend ingredients until ice is slushy. Pour into frosted glasses and enjoy immediately.
Or you could make a big jug of punch.
I usually put
Moselle, a tin of Golden circle tropical juice, some cut up bananas, strawberries, kiwifruit or whatever I've got on hand and some Dry Ginger.
Not really a mocktail but I wanted to pop my head in and mention Maggie Beer's Ruby Cabernet. It's a really lovely - as close to 'real wine' as you can imagine - non-alcholic pink sparkling wine. It makes a fantastic spritzer with soda, a squeeze of lemon and a spring of mint. I'm stocking up for christmas (doubt I'll be able to handle my champers this year LOL).
I've just merged some mocktail threads together so all of us pregnant mummies can have some fun for Christmas & New Years

For those who have an Iphone, there is an application called "Mixologist" which has a non-alcoholic section. I'm making Pina Colada's and Shirley Temple's and Batman's for the work function
MG thank you so much for the recommendation on Mixologist, I just bought it I'm so excited I can even add in drinks so I'm going to put all the ones in this thread in there too!
