Best Ever Mocktails for Spring & Summer

by Alli

It’s getting hot in here! I’m sorry if you’re still digging out from under the snow while I’m enjoying 70 & 80º weather. Because I’m such a summer girl, you’ll never hear me complaining about the heat, even when it nears 100º! You’ll find me sipping one of my Best Ever Mocktails! 

I just sit back and enjoy one of my delicious mocktails. You can see my complete list of refreshing alcohol-free drinks by visiting my Mocktails page.

Best Mocktails

Hot weather requires cold drinks so I thought I’d share my best-ever mocktails for spring & summer! Whether you’re throwing a party or just partying all by yourself, my drinks fit the bill AND you won’t wake up the next morning with a hangover (or find out you danced on the table all night long).  ðŸ™‚

You can even enjoy these drinks before happy hour! It doesn’t have to be 5:00 somewhere!

List Of The Best Mocktails for Spring and Summer

We’ll start with the prettiest and go from there. My No Tequila-Just the Sunrise is beautiful enough to stand her ground at any party, soiree, or just because you’re thirsty.

Here are 2 different ways I serve these pretty things. (I just love the photo below! I snapped it outside after a spring rain & the table was soaking wet!)

My Frozen Margarita Mocktails pair perfectly with Mexican food or are delicious all by themselves. These are always requested when my entire family gets together for our annual beach vacation.

Helpful Hint: I always take my Ninja blender because it crushes ice much better than the ones at the resort.

How about a Banana Daiquiri Mocktail? The coconut milk mixed with the banana, lime juice, and ice creates a unique flavor and is smooth and refreshing. You must try it!

My Pina Colada Milkshake is just what you need on a hot summer day!

Last, but certainly not least, my Skinny Pink Champagne Mocktail is great for toasting or just sipping by the pool.

Easy Faux Pink Champagne

All of my mocktails are easy to make and fun to drink.  Summer just wouldn’t be the same without a mocktail or three.

Check out this Frozen Cherry Margarita Mocktail! It’s good any time of the year.

I’m not a big alcohol fan, so I love a good mocktail. These look delicious!

I love mocktails, too, and I’m constantly on the lookout for new recipes to add to my collection.

Those look so pretty! And when kiddo asks “Mom, what’s that?” I can actually share.

Yes, you can share these with the kids! 🙂

I will take one of each of these 🙂 They all look gorgeous and I think mocktails are much fancier because people don’t get sloppy when they drink them.

I know and they’re perfect for women who are pregnant and want to have a fancy drink.

We’re the same. I don’t complain with our summer weather. I’d pick it any day over rainy days and typhoon season. The nice thing about summer weather is you can make and have all the mocktails that you want. I am totally eying these two: the frozen margarita & banana daiquiri mocktails!

Most people look at me with a weird expression on their face when I talk about how much I love summer. Glad to find someone who gets it.

Why don’t I remember the banana one?! Omg, this will be a life changer. I absolutely adore banana’s and if it’s something I can share with the little (who thinks she should be able to drink wine and coffee, wear lipstick etc) the better!

Alli April 8, 2015 - 8:08 am

The banana one is SO good! And the rim of coconut makes it taste really tropical. I close my eyes and pretend I’m on an island . . .

Your Mocktails are almost too pretty to drink.
The heat cranks up early here in the south, doesn’t it. We’ll reach upper 80’s today! You and I are both thinking about nice cold summer beverages!

Alli April 8, 2015 - 8:05 am

I noticed that when I saw your Faux Strawberry Shake! I’ll be over in a few minutes to check it out. Strawberries are one of my favorite berries. I’ve never met many berries that I didn’t like.

I love a nice frozen mocktail when it’s hot outside! I do not drink a lot of alcohol so a mocktail is perfect! Plus I love that S can also try these mocktails with me and then she doesn’t feel left out!

You and I were clearly separated at birth! Lol I read the first few lines and had to double check to see if I wrote them lol. I am definitely a summer gal and prefer 100 degree weather to anything below 65!

Thanks so much for these drunk ideas! I’m the only one in my group who doesn’t drink, but I love a social hour and shindig! These would be perfect for a little Saturday brunch or evening dinner party!

Super jealous of your weather. But, I will ignore that for now and jump into how awesome this post is. I don’t drink, period. So this is exactly what I need. Hey, maybe if I make a few of these the warm weather will come, right???? Well, I can hope so!

These look perfectly PG Alli – I think I am going to have to sneak in a little rum though… LOL. And I am totally with you on the summer heat. I only complain when it drops below 45…

It was warming up here just a yesterday the weather dropped like 40 degrees and it rained. I love anything frozen and slushy. I can’t wait to get to Palm Springs for Memorial Day weekend and try these out (maybe with some rum in the afternoons)!

It’s getting hot in here now too. It reached up to 82 degrees yesterday. Woot! I haven’t tried making mocktails yet. I don’t have any particular summer/spring drink too. I just love my ice cream at this time of year. 🙂

I’m a big fan of all the seasons, snow can be a lot of fun also! If I’m going with a mixed drink it’s usually a classic margarita, although for the most part I’m a craft beer guy. I will admit to loving the explosion of hard ciders though.
