Ok now that we've covered the best mocktails for 2024, lets do a deeper dive into some of the other questions you're asking! I love answering these for you so if you have any more, just comment below and I'll be sure to come back and answer them for you.

Your mocktail questions answered

Which is the most popular mocktail?

The virgin mojito is the most popular mocktail that users search for on the internet. However, I personally find that there is a lot more excitement around more nourishing, functional mocktails such as my pomegranate cinnamon mocktail or my healthy immune boost mocktails.

Which mocktail is best in taste?

The answer to this will differ from person to person. For a traditional mocktail, I have found that my followers are particularly drawn to fruity recipes like my virgin strawberry mojitos or my easy peach mocktails.
My personal favorite is something with a tea base. Tea can offer complexity AND nutritional benefits at the same time, and is the OG functional beverage of our time! Try my hibiscus mocktails or my peppermint tea mocktails.

What mocktail can I order at the bar?

If you're lucky, the venue will have their own non-alcoholic menu and you can order straight from that. Most places are getting better and better at being inclusive with their menu choices and understanding that not everyone wants an alcoholic beverage. If not, I encourage you to ask the waitstaff and see what they can mix up for you.

What is the best beginners mockail?

Something easy like a mimosa mocktail is best for beginners. With only 2 ingredients, you really can't go wrong! I also love my sunrise mocktails because they look WAY harder than they actually are - you're guests will think you spent hours behind the bar.

Can kids drink mocktails?

The short answer is yes, kids can drink mocktails because they are alcohol-free. What I would like to expand on is non-alcoholic alternatives like zero-proof spirits, beer and wine. Personally I don't believe these are appropriate for kids because some of them closely mimic the taste of alcohol. Stick to my mocktails for kids section for age appropriate recipes!
