Same passion as cocktail creation, just don't want or can't have the alcohol. Anything goes (including alcoholic drinks, but at least try the recipe without alcohol and see what you get...)

Bitter Oak Martini (Non-Alcoholic)

Ingredients:

  • 2½ oz Dhos Gin Free (non-alcoholic)
  • ½ oz Dhos Bittersweet (non-alcoholic aperitif)
  • ½ oz Martini & Rossi Floreale Non-Alcoholic White Vermouth
  • 3 dashes All The Bitter Oak-Aged New Orleans Bitters (non-alcoholic bitters)
  • Lemon peel (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the Dhos Gin Free, Dhos Bittersweet, and Floreale Non-Alcoholic White Vermouth to a cocktail shaker.
  2. Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 8-10 seconds until well-chilled.
  3. Strain and Serve: Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Garnish with Lemon Peel: Hold the lemon peel over the glass, peel side down, and twist to express the citrus oils onto the drink. Optionally, rim the glass by rubbing the peel around the rim.

This drink balances the botanicals of gin with the bittersweet complexity of the aperitif and vermouth, while the New Orleans bitters add a hint of oaky depth and warmth.

Any Non-Alcoholic Green Chartreuse Alternative?

I am looking for a non-alcoholic Green Chartreuse alternative. It doesn't have to be 100% the same but in the realm of a Green Chartreuse.

Mocking in celebration or commiseration

What are we stirring up tonight as we watch the election returns?

My local store had a screaming deal on NA mixers so looks like I will be trying an espresso martini mocktail this evening.

Should a soberish drink be a cocktail or mocktail?

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Kim, founder of Sober(ish), and I could use some advice!

We’ve been working on a fun line of recipes and trying to figure out the right term to describe them.

Our drinks include our Soberish Drops, which give you a buzz without any alcohol—think relaxed, like a glass of wine, but without the booze. The drops are hemp-derived THC/CBD (micro-dosed so no high, just a a nice relaxed giggly vibe 😅).

We’re debating between calling them “Soberish Cocktails” or “Mocktails.”

Mocktail feels a little misleading since there’s still that subtle buzz factor, but “Cocktail” sounds too much like alcohol. *Sigh

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially as folks in the mocktail community! Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Cheers to Adulting AF (alcohol free 😉)

Non-Alcoholic Carajillo Recipe

Does anyone have any suggestions for a non-alcoholic recipe for a Carajillo?

I have a friend who can't drink anything alcoholic but really misses these and I wanted to see if anyone had any good recipe recommendations. I was looking to make something as close to the authentic Mexican version as possible!

Thanks :)

Spiciest simple syrup

What is the spiciest simple syrup or cocktail / mocktail syrup anyone has discovered here? I am liking Portland Syrups 'Spicy Ginger' syrup a lot. I used to make my own by boiling sugar and water with a couple sliced habaneros and jalapeños but it was too much work to keep that up. I also tried the Strongwater Bonfire Bitters but I can't taste any heat out of that. I'd love any recommendations!

I put like half a teaspoon of that 'Spicy Ginger' syrup in a port glass and mix it with juice or Pathfinder and it's outstanding- but trying to find something else to try.

Need an idea for an assignment

Hi everyone, I currently have an assignment from my teacher to make a drink so this is my first try at making a mocktail. In the fridge theres currently dragonfruits(the really vibrant red ones), homemade pomegranate syrup, dates, mangos, limes, watermelon, and lemons. I am planning to add limes in the bottom of the bottle(dont have access to mint), smash em a bit with a muddler, and add sprite as a base. Then I plan to add pomegranate syrup to color it. Is it possible to add one or more of the fruits mentioned above or should I just let it be? and are there better base liquid than sprite? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Help me improve this mocktail!

I made this mocktail, which was delicious, but I think it could be even better if I fixed the ratios a bit!

• 1 oz strawberry syrup • 1/2 oz orgeat syrup • 4 oz pineapple juice • 2-3 oz club soda

I know for sure that there was to much pineapple juice because it was mostly all I could taste. I also know I want to add lime juice next time. Does anyone have any ideas on what a better amount of the orgeat/strawberry syrups would be to balance it out better? Or anything you would add to improve it?

Virgin Ranch Water

Although this isn't nearly as pretty as the mocktails I've seen here, I find it really refreshing! It's just lime and salt with a seltzer water 🥰 helps me a little bit when I'm craving the real thing.

Halloween

Hi, looking for a Halloween themed mock tail, small group only 3 of us. It’s also spring time here so should be warm outside (unless we get some odd weather)

Something with pumpkin would be fun! But we don’t have access to the same range of pumpkin products that the US does (so ideally not anything too niche!)

Espresso Martini NA suggestions

Hi all, I'm wanting to gift my pregnant wife for her birthday with some sort of NA espresso martini kit, preferably something without much or any caffeine and also not sweet, and I'm looking for recipes or suggestions for specific brands. Something I'm looking at now is this: https://www.amazon.com/SAYSO-Espresso-Cocktail-Mocktail-Calories/dp/B0DFQKVSV5 but I'm not really sure how this would end up tasting. I want it to be something very similar tasting to an actual classic espresso martini, as close as possible. I'm also looking a this: https://www.amazon.com/Modica-Espresso-Cocktail-Superfoods-Electrolytes/dp/B0C8WKQN53/ref=asc_df_B0C8WKQN53/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693129827177&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1128695786449485274&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9022290&hvtargid=pla-2295975895154&psc=1&mcid=3a194465f2f73320ad814ea6862d57ba. Any other suggestions or ideas, though?

What would you call this?

I’m so bad at this and also new to the mocktail world, I am sober over 3 years now & I was never a huge drinker (I was more a fan of… the hard stuff) so I am now on a journey enjoying the craft of making Mocktails & cute little drinks bc why the eff would these mixtures only be allowed WITH alcohol? I hope to normalize this so much to my peers who are obsessed with drinking or obsessed with not drinking & fear for their sobriety by enjoying such beverages!(idk if that’s worded right, but I always used to think oh no way i can drink a FAKE ALCOHOL drink?)

This is Muddled mint 2 parts kombucha 2 tablespoon lemon juice 10 droppers of apothekarys “never been bitter” (SOOOO expensive….. I don’t necessarily recommend to anyone on a budget) Water melon water And I used pineapple as a garnish

Thank you for being a great community and I’m excited to start getting more involved in the world of mocktailing!

Pepperoncini Martini - can it be made without alcohol?

Going to a restaurant tonight and I’m newly pregnant. My favorite drink on the menu is “Martini Pepperoncini — Grey Goose, Pepperoncini Brine, Lemon Zest.”

Is there any good way to ask for this without vodka/a substitute?
