This Easy Mocktail Recipe is a refreshing, non-alcoholic drink that tastes just like a cocktail but won’t leave you with a hangover! With only 3 ingredients, it’s quick to make and perfect for any occasion. Serve it at parties or enjoy it as a healthy, hydrating treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup grapefruit juice
  • ½ cup sparkling water
  • Garnish: Extra slices of grapefruit or lime

Instructions

  1. Juice Preparation: If you’re juicing your own oranges and grapefruits, use a juicer that catches pulp to ensure a smooth final drink. Grapefruit can be quite pulpy, so this step is important.
  2. Assemble the Mocktails: Fill two 12-ounce glasses with ice. Add ¼ cup of orange juice, ¼ cup of grapefruit juice, and ¼ cup of sparkling water to each glass.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with extra slices of grapefruit or a slice of lime for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately for the best taste—the ice will start to dilute the drink as it melts.

Notes

Tips & Variations:

  • Batch Prep: To make a larger batch for parties, multiply the recipe and mix everything (except the sparkling water) in a pitcher. Add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz fresh.
  • Garnishing Ideas: Experiment with different garnishes like mint sprigs, rosemary, or even a sprinkle of citrus zest for added flair.
  • Flavor Boost: For an extra kick, add a splash of lime juice or a pinch of sea salt to enhance the citrus flavors.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve in fancy glasses with colorful straws for a festive touch.
