Sometimes during the hot Texas summer, all you want is a fun, cooling drink. If you’re looking to skip the spirits and stay hydrated this summer, we’ve rounded up a variety of mocktails to make sure you’re refreshed and relaxed.
MicheNada
Meet the MicheNada, not just a booze-free take on the classic Mexican Michelada, but a lighter and more approachable version of its American cousin, the Bloody Mary. Here, Twang swaps out the normal beer for Topo Chico sparkling water to create the same effervescent effect.
Chile-Lime-Pineapple Soda
Remember those Goodtaste boozy paletas we shared? Well, this drink resembles them, except in a nonalcoholic soda version! This recipe from Anna Wallace shared by Bon Appétit is perfect for you spice lovers—you can even swap out the chiles de árbol for serranos or jalapeños.
Butterfly Pea Flower Refresher
This purple-and-orange-hued beauty from Carlene Thomas for Inspired Home is giving Texas sunset vibes. The purple comes from the butterfly pea flower tea that is layered with passion fruit, lime, and mint in a fruity limeade.
CosNopolitan
Enjoy all of the sophistication of a classic Cosmopolitan but without the alcohol. Seedlip offers a variety of nonalcoholic spirits and shows you how to use them as well. For this bar favorite, you’ll mix in organic cranberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Mojito Pitcher
Mojitos are the ultimate summertime sipper, with their refreshing combination of citrus and mint flavors. Here, Munchkin Time transforms the drink into a family-friendly rendition that’s made in a big batch to quench a crowd’s thirst. Everyone will want seconds!
