What Exactly is a Mocktail?
You may have already heard of a cocktail, which is a mixture of beverages. One or more of the beverages in a cocktail is alcoholic. A mocktail is similar to a cocktail. These beverages are similar in appearance to cocktails and are also a mixture of beverages. However, the mocktail does not contain alcoholic ingredients.
While the ‘mock’ in mocktail indicates that it is an imitation of the cocktail it is becoming a popular choice of beverage. This is not only for those that do not drink alcohol but also those that do. Mocktails are a great choice for those who want to enjoy a flavorful and visually appealing drink without having to worry about the effects of alcohol.
