What is a mocktail?
A mocktail is a shortened version of the two words “mock cocktail,” so it is a mixed drink without the alcohol.
The difference between a mocktail and cocktail are simply that the former doesn’t have alcohol and the latter does.
Mocktails are a type of non-alcoholic beverage that typically uses flavored or carbonated water, apple or other fruit juice, and sometimes sugar.
The word can also be used more loosely to refer to any alcohol-free drink that is served in a cocktail glass.
What are other names for a mocktail?
Virgin drinks are mocktails, but this term seems to be used less these days.
You can call it a zero proof drink or simply use the phrases non-alcoholic, alcohol-free or kid-friendly.
Why are mocktails popular?
Everyone likes a fun beverage, but not everybody wants or needs to drink alcohol all the time.
Mocktails are becoming more and more popular, since they are healthier alternatives to alcoholic drinks.
They are appealing for people who want to avoid alcohol completely or are simply limiting their consumption.
Of course, they are also perfect for kids and young adults under 21.
What type of apple juice is best in a sparkling mocktail?
A clear apple juice looks best in this sparkling drink.
Should you use a natural apple cider?
A natural juice or cider that has little bits in it tastes great, but the mocktail will end up looking cloudy if you use it for this recipe.
