Apple Mocktail

Because sometimes you want to celebrate the day without a cocktail. Because sometimes you want to make a fun drink that the whole family can enjoy. Because sometimes you just don’t want alcohol. Because sometimes you don’t want the extra calories. But it’s still fun to sip out of a cool glass and enjoy a fun drink! And that’s exactly why I made this Apple Mocktail.

What is a mocktail?

A mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink that typically resembles a cocktail in appearance and flavor but does not contain any alcohol. Mocktails are often made with a combination of fruit juices, syrups, herbs, and carbonated water or other non-alcoholic mixers. They are popular alternatives to alcoholic drinks for those who do not drink alcohol or who are looking for a healthier option.

Why we love using apples in mocktails

Apples add flavor and sweetness. Apple juice or apple cider can be used as a base for a mocktail, and apple slices or apple wedges can be used as a garnish. Apples can also be muddled with other ingredients, such as herbs or spices, to create unique flavor combinations.
