Summer can be tricky for those of us who don’t drink.
Whether you’re staying away from the booze for good or just for the night, it can feel like there’s nothing worse than being the only person without a drink in your hand.
The warmer months mean more special occasions (like a sunny Wednesday evening) and can mean more pressure to hit the bottle or can.
But no need to feel left out – there is a little something called a mocktail and let us assure you they are just the ticket to make you feel all sorts of festive while still staying sober. A win-win, we think.
Here are three delicious such drinks you can whip up in no time, making sure everyone can head into the summer with a colourful drink in hand.
1. Strawberry Cucumber Lemonade
This fizzy drink with a sugar sprinkle rim looks like a party in a glass. The kind of party where everyone brings cupcakes and other delicious sweet treats.
2. French 75 Mocktail
Trust us, this will be love at first sip.
3. Jalapeno Watermelon Aqua Fresca
This thirst-quenching hit is already the perfect shade of pink for those glass-clinking Boomerangs. Oh, and it’s delicious too.
