Whatever the reason you're choosing to not drink alcohol, opting for a mocktail is a way to participate in mindful drinking while enjoying a delicious beverage. From simple to complex, mocktails can be made up of just about any ingredient which most of the time include soda, simple syrups, fruit, herbs, and more - and often take just as much time and care to craft.
