Best Spring Mocktails
Dark and heavy drinks are for the winter, it's time to shed those layers, let the sun hit your skin for the first time in months and enjoy a mocktail or two...don't get crazy! When we think spring mocktails, we like to think fresh and light flavors. We also aim to have strong aromas, think lavender or basil. These refreshing spring drinks will kick off your spring the right way. Without further ado, our first pick.
Strawberry Basil Lemonade
Strawberries are often the first berry that grows following a long a cold winter. Their delicious red hue just screams...eat me! Basil is another herb that mixes quite well with the strawberries. What we like to do is muddle both the strawberries and the basil leaves together and then add the lemonade.

Cucumber Mint Spritzer
Any spritz on a warm day is an immensely pleasurable experience. Add a little cucumber and mint leaves then all of a sudden you're at a luxury spa. But why limit the luxury spa experience to high end hotels when you can have the same experience at home. This refreshing drink is the perfect spring mocktail recipe that utilizes fresh ingredients. We recommend lime juice or lemon juice.

Easy Spring Mocktails
While the mocktail recipes above are our favorite drinks, we also put together a list of some easier to make spring mocktails. More heavy on the fruit and less intense on the craft.
Peach Bellini Mocktail
Made famous by Cipriani in New York or Venice, the Peach Bellini is a staple breakfast cocktail...but how about a mocktail? We decided to swap out the traditional champagne for an apple cider and have found the drink to still be quite delicious. The fresh fruit peach puree blends quite nicely with the cider. If you want the mocktail to be a bit more citrusy then we recommend adding a touch of orange juice or pineapple juice. If you do decide to drink alcohol then go ahead and add the champagne back in.
