6. Blueberry Velvet

These tasty mocktails are really something to make for your kids. The color is fantastic and the taste is also excellent, according to a recipe from Sodastream.

  • Small handful of fresh tarragon leaves
  • 10 blueberries
  • 15 ml maple syrup

This delicious non-alcoholic drink is made in this way:combine the blueberries and tarragon in a shaker with maple syrup. Add lime juice, ice cubes and a little water and shake vigorously. Continue to fill the glass with SodaStream sparkling water.

7. Alcohol-free gin and tonic

I personally love a gin and tonic. But if we have a party and I still have to drive, this is unfortunately not an option. What you can do is make this alcohol-free Gin-tonic with Seedlip Spice 94. You make the familiar gin-tonic, but without alcohol. Most children do not like this, but as a tonic lover I can recommend it to you.

Ingredients to make this mocktail:

  • 50 ml Seedlip Spice 94
  • 120 ml tonic
  • garnish in the form of blackberries, a sprig of thyme or some lime or cucumber for example. Cinnamon sticks are also possible!

8. Making lavender mocktail, nice and non-alcoholic and special

Ingredients for this special drink:

  • 200 ml lavender syrup *
  • 200 ml fresh lemon juice
  • SodaStream 600 ml sparkling water
  • * 100g buds of dried lavender flowers
  • * 500 ml sugar
  • * 500 ml of water

You make the lavender syrup by bringing the water and the lavender buds to a boil in a pan. Stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool. Set aside for 1 hour. Filter and cool. Then mix with the lemon juice and sparkling water. Garnish again with a nice lavender bud and lemon slice and you're done.

9. Non-alcoholic Mojito with mint

The ingredients for making a delicious non-alcoholic Mojito mocktail variant:

  • lime juice from 1 lime
  • 10-15 mint leaves
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of lemonade syrup you decide which flavor
  • ice cubes
  • Add sparkling water or sprite

Squeeze the lime juice from the lime, you will need about 3-4 tablespoons of juice. Crush most of the mint leaves and mix with the sugar, lime juice, syrup and ice cubes in a shaker. Shake well. Divide this among 4 glasses and fill the glasses further with the sparkling water or the sprite. Cheers!

10. Grape mocktail

  • ice cubes
  • grapefruit cut into wedges
  • a little grape juice (50 ml)
  • 200 ml sparkling water with grapefruit drops from Sodastream

For each glass of Grape mocktail, add a layer of grape juice to the glass, put ice cubes in it, and then top off with sparkling water containing grapefruit drops. Garnish the glass with a grapefruit wedge and some grapes on the rim, or a few mint leaves. Success guaranteed!
