5 Delightful Drinks To Sip This Summer

Beat the heat with these non-alcoholic cocktails.


Not every social event requires alcohol—in fact none of them do. Pool season is in full swing bringing an abundance of social events to host or attend as well as the divine opportunity to show off delicious mocktail recipes. Of course, as temperatures rise it’s important to stay hydrated, but it’s more important to sip in style. That’s what I like to call priorities.

 

So, if you’re about to tackle your first sober summer or if you are in search of fun, non-alcoholic drinks to impress your friends and family, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to break out your recyclable or reusable cups and experiment until you find your signature mocktail that will leave your peers in shock and awe. Here are my top 5 favorite mocktails to sip by the pool guaranteed to leave you happy and refreshed.

Fresh peaches in the summer always hit the spot and elevating them in a mocktail will probably be the best decision you ever made. When temperatures climb, it is easy to get dehydrated fast. If water just isn’t cutting it, I turn to this bubbly and refreshing drink to cool down. By incorporating simple syrup, an effortless ingredient that elevates any mocktail, this drink offers a jolt of flavor with every sip.

This refreshing, non-alcoholic spritzer is a great way to make use of berry season and please your palette. It is so easy to make and after your first sip you will transport through space and time. 

One of the beautiful things about summer is the comfort in the air after the sun goes down. On these nights, I love crafting a mocktail, sitting on my patio and breathing in the July air. This bubbly iced tea is ideal for summer night sipping. 

Everyone loves apple juice but it can be embarrassing to drink as an adult. This non-alcoholic drink is a delicious alternative, utilizing fresh apples and juice. This drink will seriously make you feel like a Disney princess, sans poison apples. 

You are probably expecting me to ask you if you like getting caught in the rain. I refuse. However, if you have half-a-brain you won’t miss an opportunity to serve virgin pina-coladas to your guests (or just because) in sustainable kitchenware.

When summer days grow unbearably hot, these 5 mocktails will perk you up and keep you refreshed. If you are looking to further enhance these recipes or if you are experimenting with your own, simple syrups can be used to elevate your mocktails. Simple syrups are easy to make and put the cherry on top of a delicious beverage.
