A mocktail is a cocktail without alcohol. Mocktails can be made with a variety of ingredients that are delicious, refreshing and packed with fresh flavor. Serve these non-alcoholic drinks at backyard BBQs, picnics or any festive gathering. How to Serve Mojito Mocktails Be sure to add the ice cubes and sparkling water just before serving to avoid diluting this pitcher cocktail. This recipe can also be doubled to serve a crowd.
