Our Top 10 Feb Fasting Mocktails
Whether you’re hosting a formal event, a family get together or a casual home gathering, you’ll need our top 10 Feb Fasting mocktails on your list. Enjoy these easy to create and easy to drink non-boozy refreshers that will quench anyone’s thirst.
1. Frozen Apple Margarita
First on the list of our top 10 Feb Fasting mocktails, and for a simply delicious apple treat, place salt on a plate and run the cut side of the lime around the rims of serving glasses. Then dip in the salt to coat and place sparkling apple juice, lime rind, lime juice and ice in a blender and blend until smooth. All that’s left to do is pour evenly among glassware and decorate with apple slices and lime zest.
2. Watermelon Breeze
For Feb Fasting, frozen drinks are the perfect treat for kids too and we love the idea of beating the heat at outdoor summer occasions. To create your masterpiece all you need to do is blend together three cups of cubed and chilled watermelon, one cup of coconut water, one teaspoon of fresh lime, one sprig of mint and half a cup of ice.
3. Pink Grapefruit Party Punch
Go alcohol-free and swap the tequila and cointreau for 185ml mango and orange flavoured mineral water. Place some pomegranate seeds in an ice cube tray, cover with water and pop in the freezer for later. Then combine lemonade, grapefruit juice, lime juice and flavoured mineral water in a serving jug. Top with your pomegranate ice cubes and divide among serving glasses for the ultimate Feb Fasting feast.
4. Pink Bubbles
We love the idea of serving up something sweet and pink for a baby shower, bridal shower or even just a fancy birthday get together. Simply combine equal parts club soda and ginger ale and then stir in a splash of white grape juice (or more for sweetness). Next add a splash of grenadine to give it a pretty pink hue and you’ve got yourself a princess treat.
5. Coconut Lavender Lemonade
If you’re looking for a super refreshing mocktail, you’ll love this combination of coconut water, lavender simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. To make the Lavender Simple Syrup, combine the sugar, water and lavender in a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat and boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, cover, and let the lavender steep in the syrup for 20 minutes.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender, add the food coloring (used to give the lemonade a purple color). Set the syrup aside to cool and then place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
To make the Coconut Lavender Lemonade, place lemon juice, sugar, coconut water and water into a pitcher and shake or stir vigorously until all the sugar is dissolved. Shaking is preferred is possible as it aerates the lemonade. Pour half of the lavender syrup into the pitcher and stir, or to taste.
6. Sparkling Cranberry Lime Rosemary Mocktail
As festive and colorful as it tasty, this delicious summer bevy is just so yum! Start with muddling a few fresh cranberries along with a few sprigs of rosemary. Once the cranberries and rosemary are muddled together, place about one tablespoon of the cranberry mixture into a glass filled with ice. Then top each glass with sparkling lime mineral water and add a few extra cranberries and rosemary for garnish.
7. Mojito Mocktail
This refreshing minty Mojito Mocktail has all the flavor and none of the booze! Just muddle fresh mint, lime and sugar (or agave) and top with ice and club soda. You won’t even miss the rum. Muddle the mint and one wedge of lime in the bottom of a glass like a cocktail glass or highball. Then add sugar and more lime. Mash it up and fill the glass with ice and top with club soda or seltzer water.
8. Tropical Punch Mocktail
Passionfruit, mint, lemongrass and orange, spiked with delicate bubbles of sparkling water makes the perfect refreshing, fruity mocktail. Divide some pineapple juice evenly across an ice cube tray and freeze overnight or until frozen. Divide the orange slices, pineapple ice cubes and lemongrass among serving glasses. Finally, pour over some sparkling passionfruit and top with mint to serve.
9. Fruit-Infused Water
Fruit-infused water is such an accessible option in terms of price and simplicity. We love using fruit use fruit as a way to play with colour options and creations. Blueberry and oranges look and taste amazing together, as do strawberries and mint. Or you could try the taste of whole blackberries and lemon slices, grapefruit and lavender, or raspberries and cucumber. Easy!
10. Pineapple, Apricot, Lime Punch
If you’re feeling a little under the weather, this refreshing non-alcoholic punch is sure to revive you! Place pineapple juice, apricot juice, ginger beer, soda water and lime juice in a large mixing jug and stir to combine. Pour into a serving jug and add the ice and lime slices. Serve immediately, sit back and relax.
