Heart Healthy Mocktail
This gorgeous mocktail from @meowmeix combines raspberries, dragon fruit, and a hint of lime with sparkling water for a functional and fun beverage sans the hangover.
Strawberry & Cream Mocktail
This dreamy mocktail by @drinkswithdanica is perfect for Galentine’s festivities. Just add strawberries, lemon juice and strawberry simple syrup to a cocktail shaker, then add non-alcoholic gin and Greek yogurt for the creamy texture.
