Why You’ll Love Spring Mocktails
These drinks are super easy to make and don’t need fancy bar tools. You’ll love how they’re perfect for everyone—kids and folks who don’t drink alcohol. Plus, they’re way cheaper than cocktails but still look amazing in photos!
Citrus Spring Mocktails
These mocktails are great for sunny spring days because they taste like citrus fruits. With their tangy punch and refreshing finish, these drinks wake up your taste buds.
Spring Thyme Mocktail
This is my go-to when friends drop by unexpectedly. I mix fresh lemon juice with a thyme honey syrup and top it with sparkling water.
The thyme sprigs add such a lovely aroma that makes this drink extra special.
The golden color reminds me of sunshine, making it perfect for those first warm days of spring.
Citrus Strawberry Mocktail
On a hot day, nothing is better than a fruity drink. For a cool treat, you’ll love mixing fresh strawberries with lime juice and bubbly lemon-lime soda.
I like how the lime juice gives it a tangy kick and the strawberry syrup makes it sweet.
For extra flair, you can add strawberry slices or slices of lime. It’s easy, fun, and great for sharing!
Grapefruit-Rosemary Mocktail Spritz
The bittersweet tang of grapefruit paired with aromatic rosemary creates an impressive drink without much effort.
I muddle rosemary with fresh grapefruit juice, add a touch of granulated sugar, and top with sparkling water.
The pink color is absolutely gorgeous, and the rosemary sprig garnish adds a sophisticated touch.
Blood Orange Mocktail
Blood oranges are my special treat while they’re in season. Their ruby-red juice mixed with a splash of pomegranate juice creates a stunning crimson drink.
Add some lime juice for balance, simple syrup for sweetness, and top with soda water. It’s both visually impressive and deliciously refreshing.
Sparkling Meyer Lemon Mocktail
A splash of grenadine and Meyer lemon juice makes this bubbly drink look like a pretty pink sunrise.
The pomegranate seeds give it a fun crunch, and the mint leaves make it taste even better.
It’s slightly sweet and great for parties. The best part? It only takes a few ingredients and little work to make it look fancy.
Fresh and Fruity Mocktails
Spring brings an abundance of fresh fruits that make these mocktails burst with natural sweetness. These fruit-forward drinks are just what you need as the weather warms up.
Strawberry Basil Lemonade
This pretty pink drink is the best thing to drink on hot days. I mix homemade lemonade with fresh strawberries and add torn basil leaves, which give off a wonderful smell.
The combination of sweet berries, tart lemons, and fragrant basil creates a perfectly balanced spring refresher that disappears quickly at any gathering!
Blueberry Mocktail
Enjoy this fruity and refreshing drink. It’s made with a homemade blueberry and thyme syrup, lemon juice, and a splash of seltzer.
Lemon adds a nice tang, and the syrup gives it a sweet, herby taste.
You can rim the glass with sugar for extra fun. Just under 25 minutes to make, and it looks just as good as it tastes.
Fruit Punch Mocktail
This crowd-pleaser combines pineapple juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice with a splash of lime. I add floating fruit slices and berries to make it extra festive.
Kids go crazy for this one, and adults appreciate having a non-alcoholic option that’s not just soda. It’s perfect for spring parties!
Raspberry Peach Lemonade Cooler
This cool drink has a lemonade base and is made with sweet, juicy peaches and tangy raspberries.
It’s great for hot spring days because the bright red berries add color and flavor. That’s like summer in a glass!
I love how the fruit tastes mixed together. It takes only 5 minutes to make, and adding mint makes it taste even better.
Watermelon Agua Fresca
This Mexican-inspired drink couldn’t be simpler or more refreshing. I blend ripe watermelon chunks with lime juice and a touch of honey, then strain and chill.
The subtle sweetness and bright color make it perfect for serving in mason jars at outdoor spring gatherings. It’s like summer calling!
Floral Inspired Mocktails
Spring blooms inspire these delicate and fragrant drinks. The subtle floral notes add a sophisticated element that makes these floral mocktail recipes feel extra special.
Lavender Lemonade
I first tried this at a garden party and had to get the recipe! Infuse simple syrup with dried culinary lavender, then mix with fresh lemon juice and water.
The pale purple color is naturally beautiful, and the floral aroma is so calming. It’s like drinking a spring garden—perfect for Mother’s Day brunches.
Blushing Ginger Rose Fizz
My wife’s favorite one! You’ll need rose syrup, lemon juice, and ginger juice. I add ice to a glass, pour in the ingredients, and top it with club soda.
You can garnish with edible flowers if you like. It’s perfect for special occasions like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.
Butterfly Pea Flower Mocktail
The magic of this drink is in its color-changing properties! Steep butterfly pea flowers to create a blue tea, then watch it transform to purple when you add lemon juice.
I mix this with a touch of honey and sparkling water. Everyone always asks how I made it—it’s such a conversation starter!
Tropical Spring Mocktails
These mocktails bring vacation vibes to your spring entertaining. With exotic fruit flavors, they’re like a mini getaway in a glass.
Passionfruit Mocktail
This fruity mocktail makes my spring days better, and I love making it. I put together some sweet passionfruit pulp, sour lime juice, and elderflower syrup.
Adding soda water makes a treat that fizzes, which makes your tongue feel better. With each sip, it makes me truly happy, and you’ll feel the same way.
Papaya Mint Julep Mocktail
This southern-inspired drink gets a tropical twist with ripe papaya.
I muddle fresh mint with papaya puree, add a splash of lime juice and simple syrup, then top with crushed ice.
The sweet fruit and bright mint make this incredibly refreshing on warmer spring days.
Easy and Refreshing Mango Mocktail
When mangoes go on sale in spring, I make this simple treat. Blend ripe mango chunks with lime juice and a touch of honey, then pour over ice and top with ginger ale.
The sunny yellow color brightens any table, and the sweet-spicy flavor combo is absolutely addictive!
Easy Passionfruit Sparkler
This quick mocktail comes together in seconds but tastes like you spent hours. Just mix passionfruit juice (or syrup) with lime juice and top with sparkling water.
Add a few frozen berries for color and to keep it cold. The fizzy, tangy result is perfect for impromptu spring gatherings.
Easter-Themed Mocktails
These festive easter mocktails are perfect for celebrations. Their playful colors and flavors make them ideal for holiday brunches and family gatherings.

The cotton candy magically dissolves and sweetens the drink while creating a pretty pastel color. It’s pure spring magic in a glass!
Hot Cross Bun Mocktail
This creamy, non-alcoholic Easter drink treat is perfect for your celebration.
There is a hint of coffee in the mocktail, along with warm cinnamon and sweet vanilla. You’ll like how the sweetness from the raisins makes me think of hot cross buns.

This sweet, creamy drink is great for Easter or any other special day.
Milk, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk are all you need. To make it, just mix them together.
It only takes minutes! For extra fun, I love putting a chocolate rim around the edge. Melted chocolate makes this easy.
For a fun touch, you can add whipped cream or an Easter egg on top. Kids love it.
