5 Delicious Summer Mocktails

The ultimate list of refreshing, healthy mocktail recipes for Cinco de Mayo and all of the sunny months ahead!


I love a refreshing, healthy mocktail and these are perfect for summer dinner parties, celebrations and patio sipping. Starting off with Cinco de Mayo, if I was going to purchase one bottle of non-alcoholic spirits to make drinks with this summer it would be tequila. You'll see it listed in many recipes below and this one by Free Spirits is my top pick. I reviewed 10 other tequilas and this one is just the best. Cheers!

Paloma Mocktail

Frozen Paloma Mocktails (Makes 2):

  • 6 oz ruby red grapefruit juice ice cubes - freeze the night before

  • 5 oz n/a tequila

  • 1.5 oz lime juice 

  • 1 oz agave 

  • 2 oz grapefruit soda 

Instructions:

  • Freeze your juice in an ice cube tray the night before - this prevents the drink from being too watered down. Blend all five ingredients together until smooth. Depending on your preference you may need to add a little extra ice. I serve with a tajin rim and slice of lime or grapefruit.


Habanero Coconut Margarita:

  • 1 oz lime juice

  • 2 slices habanero pepper

  • .75 oz coconut cream

  • 2 oz coconut milk 

  • 2 oz n/a tequila

Instructions:

  • In a cocktail shaker muddle the first 2 ingredients together. Add ice, remaining ingredients and shake vigorously. Serve in a rocks glass with fresh ice.


"Trick Me" Scratch Margarita:

• 2.5 oz n/a tequila (highly recommend this one, it may not taste as good with another brand)

• 1 oz fresh lime juice 

• .75 oz hot agave

• .5 oz fresh oj (not store bought if possible, this will help smooth out the flavors) 

• Optional: coarse salt rim 

Instructions:

  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add all ingredients and shake vigorously. Serve in a rocks glass with fresh ice, optional salt rim.
