I gave up alcohol as my New Year’s Resolution and it stuck. I’ve since spent time experimenting with mocktails and other non-alcoholic drinks and have found that first of all not all mocktails are good.
To be a good mocktail it can’t be just a bunch of sugar stirred up in a cup and topped with ice. I like low-sugar, low-calorie and something that feels fancier than bubbly water.

I made this for a 4th of July get together with friends. It was super crisp and refreshing! I loved it! I also love how versatile it can be – next time I’ll likely add more orange than lemon, and more strawberries too! YUM!
Yummm, those all sound great! I’m so happy you loved it.
Kids loved this at a recent baby shower I hosted. They felt fancy and it tasted delicious. I added whatever fruit I had laying around from the adult drinks.
