Easy Mocktails for Valentine's Day

How to Make a Pink Lady

Our first mocktail is a relatively easy mocktail recipe it's not too sweet and combines a few fruit juices. This is a relatively sweet drink due to the high amounts of fruit juice and grenadine. If you would like to make it less sweet, just add a little less grenadine syrup.

Ingredients :

• 1 1/2 Ounces Pineapple Juice

• 1/2 Ounce of lime juice

• 1/2 ounce of Grenadine

Directions :

• In a shaker, combine 1 1/2 ounces of pineapple juice, 1/2 ounce of lime juice and 1/2 ounce of grenadine.

• Shake well with ice.

• Strain into a glass and garnish with a cherry or pineapple slice.

How to Make a Virgin Pina Colada

If you like Pina Coladas....and you know the rest. Then this is the perfect drink for you. Probably the most famous of the mocktails before mocktails even became a thing. The Virgin Pina Colada is a staple of a family friendly resort but is also a staple for your upcoming Valentine's Day. The trick to our recipe is too add additional grenadine to give it more of a pink look...to stay in theme of course.

Ingredients :

• 1 Cup Pineapple Juice

• 1/2 Cup of Coconut Cream

• 1/4 Cup of Grenadine Syrup

Directions :

• In a blender, combine 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of coconut cream and 1/4 cup of grenadine syrup.

• Blend until smooth.

• Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge or a cherry

How to Make a Pink Lady Bug

The Pink Lady Bug is a lesser known mocktail but is one of our favorite valentine's day mocktails. We've always been a sucker for combining cranberry juice with other ingredients and this sweet drink completely hits the mark.

Ingredients :

• 1/2 Ounces Cranberry Juice

• 1/2 ounce of fresh Lime Juice

• 1/2 Ounce Grenadine

Directions :

• In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 1/2 ounces of cranberry juice, 1/2 ounce of lime juice and 1/2 ounce of grenadine.

• Shake well with ice.

• Strain into a glass and garnish with a cherry or raspberry.

How to Make Pink Paradise

It's the middle of February and all you can think about are your toes in the sand with a cold drink in your hand. Winter is almost over and you can almost taste the sea air. We want to help you get a little bit closer to your fantasy.

The Pink Paradise is a delicious recipe that blends Pineapple Juice and Cocunut Cream...and of course Grenadine for that perfect pink look.

Ingredients :

• Pineapple Juice

• Coconut Cream

• Grenadine Syrup

Directions :

• In a blender, combine 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of coconut cream and 1/4 cup of grenadine.

• Blend until smooth or desired consistency

• Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry

How to Make a Watermelon Cooler

While a watermelon cooler may be thought of more of a summer time mocktail, there is no reason you can't think of summer a bit earlier. This mocktail is a guaranteed huge hit and is not only a pretty drink but one of our favorite mocktail recipes. It's a refreshing drink that utilizes fresh fruit and avoids any additives like corn syrup. It truly is one of the best mocktail recipes.

Ingredients :

• Watermelon

• Fresh Lime Juice

• Grenadine Syrup

Directions :

• In a blender, blend 1 cup of seedless watermelon (if available)

• Strain the puree to remove seeds.

• In a mixing glass, combine the watermelon puree, 1 ounce of lime juice, and 1/2 ounce of grenadine syrup.

• Stir gently to combine.

• Garnish with a lime wheel or watermelon slice.

If all of these drinks don't seem to hit the mark you can always have a Shirley Temple...you know a little lemon lime soda with some grenadine or drink apple juice...just kidding. Or muddle some fresh raspberries and mix it with ginger ale or club soda. You won't regret it.
