What is a mocktail?
The word “mocktail” is a fun play on “cocktail” and is (as it sounds) a mock (or fake) cocktail. Mocktails can be sparkly, fun, and festive just like their cocktail cousins but do not actually contain any alcohol. We love having a couple of mocktail options available at gatherings for anyone who prefers an alcohol-free beverage. While most cocktails can be made into a mocktail by omitting the alcohol and subbing in sparkling water or kombucha (find our full mocktail how-to here), we love having a a few tasty recipes that originated as mocktails.

Should I use sweetened or unsweetened coconut milk?
This didn’t taste good. It’s definitely missing something ..
So sorry you didn’t love this one, Lisa! Thank you for the feedback.
This looks wonderful! I was wondering about how much of the concoction you put in the glass before you add the sparkling water?
Hi Leesa! I would say about 3/4 full, then top with sparkling water. You can adjust more or less depending on how much fizz you want to have. Enjoy! -Team FF
