About these mocktails
Kids love the fancy glass experience. These mocktails let them feel included in the grown-up toast, with a genuine drink they actually enjoy and not just another juice box. No alcohol, no caffeine, nothing containing trace alcohol or non-alcoholic spirits.
Perfect for birthday parties, New Year’s Eve family toasts, holiday dinners, and any event where the adults have their cocktail glassware out. Many of these recipes are classic kid mocktails (Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers, Virgin Pina Colada) plus modern additions.
