A non-alcoholic cocktail, or mocktail, is a mixed drink that mimics the complexity and presentation of a classic cocktail but contains no alcohol. It typically features a base of fruit juices, sodas, syrups, or infused waters, often garnished with fresh fruits, herbs, or edible flowers. These drinks have become a global staple in bars, restaurants, and homes, offering a sophisticated alternative for all ages.
Mocktails are generally high in carbohydrates, primarily from natural fruit sugars and added syrups, with negligible fat and protein. They provide vitamins like Vitamin C and antioxidants from fruit ingredients, and a typical serving contains roughly 100-200 calories.
