What is a Mocktail?

A mocktail is simply a non-alcoholic cocktail. It is a drink that looks and tastes similar to a cocktail, but does not contain any alcohol. They are also known as “virgin cocktails” or non-alcoholic drinks. They are normally a combination of various ingredients including juices, syrups, soda, and garnishes, and are usually served in a cocktail glass. They can be enjoyed at any occasion, from casual get-togethers to formal events, and are suitable for people who do not drink alcohol, such as pregnant women, designated drivers, or those who prefer not to drink. Some mocktails are also designed to have similar taste as the alcoholic cocktails, but without the alcohol content.
