Summer Mocktail Recipes to Enjoy in the Heat | Luci's Morsels (1)

It’s Memorial Day Weekend and that means it’s the official start of summer mentality! This summer, I’m on the hunt for mocktail recipes that I can enjoy with our guests!

You’ve been around long enough to know how much I love summer in general, but most especially I love entertaining in the summer. While schedules are difficult to coordinate, there’s always time for al fresco summer dinner parties and just casually having friends over for iced tea and nibbles or wine and inexpensive charcuterie!

Orange Ginger Beer Sparkler

Think of this as a healthy twist on a mimosa. I just love ginger beer in any kind of drink. it’s the perfect tang. And you can even add ginger juice if you’re up to it.

Summer Mocktail Recipes

There are all kinds of mocktails. Some are on the easier level of a sparkling water mixed with juice. You can mix it up with infused simple syrups (an insanely easy mix of sugar, water, and a fruit or herb on the stove).

And if you really want to jazz your summer mocktails up, use a shrub. What is a shrub? A shrub is an infused vinegar and water concoction. Don’t run away. They actually add a depth of flavor to any drink (alcoholic or not).

One of my biggest struggles the last few months has been finding something to drink (besides water or coffee) that isn’t insanely sweet to me. Shrubs are the best way to take the sweetness down a level that isn’t watering down the drink! Here are two methods to make homemade shrubs!

Even if you aren’t pregnant or avoiding spirits, I love homemade mocktail recipes in the summer when you need something to drink during the day or in the heat that won’t dehydrate you!!!

Cantaloupe Lime Jalapeno Agua Fresca

Refreshing, slightly sweet, subtly spicy and a bit tart, this might just be the perfect summer drink (and what a tasty concoction to have missed for Cinco de Mayo this year)!

Frozen Lavender Lemonade

This lavender lemonade slushie is basically what my fancy pants dreams are made of. Of course you can make it just over ice too, which is easy (but still pretty fancy)!

This mocktail sounds pretty much like all my favorite fruits in one. Imagine a strawberry limeade with ginger beer and passion fruit juice. YES PLEASE!!!!!!

Non-Alcoholic Green Apple Martini

I can’t be trusted with an martini glass, but at least if it’s non-alcoholic people will know it’s just the glass and not me! This virgin appletini is a fun way to look as though you’re enjoying the drink of the evening (but you’ll be fully functioning in the morning)!
