20 Best Healthy Mocktails

Celebrations often include family dinners, edible gift-giving, reflection and enjoying precious moments with our loved ones – as well as treats and boozy cocktails.

Mocktails are highly underrated beverages. By using whole ingredients like fruits, natural sweeteners, herbs, bitters or fermented foods, you can blend or infuse a healthy mocktail that is so delicious no one will miss that booze.

And so, here are our 20 Best Healthy Mocktails. We hope you enjoy clinking glasses and sipping some of this goodness!
