Frequently asked questions about mocktails

What is a mocktail?

A mocktail is a non-alcoholic cocktail – a mixed drink that mimics the flavours, look and preparation of a classic cocktail but contains no spirits. The name combines "to mock" (imitate) and "cocktail".

Which non-alcoholic aperitif works before a meal?

Bittersweet, sparkling drinks stimulate the appetite. A non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz with Crodino or Sanbitter, a non-alcoholic Hugo or a tonic with herbal bitters are popular alcohol-free aperitifs.

Are non-alcoholic cocktails suitable during pregnancy?

Freshly made mocktails without alcohol are generally fine. Use pasteurised juices and avoid raw egg (as in a classic sour foam). When in doubt, ask your doctor.

How do I make mocktails as flavourful as real cocktails?

Acidity (lemon, lime), some sweetness (sugar syrup), bitterness (non-alcoholic bitters, tonic) and fresh herbs create balance. Chill well and serve over ice to bring out the aroma.

Are non-alcoholic cocktails low in calories?

Not automatically – juices and syrup contain sugar. With fresh ingredients, less syrup and soda instead of lemonade, mocktails can be made much lighter. Find low-sugar versions in the diabetics hub.
