This is a bougie twist on the classic from Cupcake Diaries. The trick behind a mai tai has always been to drown the booze in sugary mixers, so

this recipe -- a combination of lemon lime soda, pineapple and orange juice -- tastes just as good as the real thing!

Winter's still not over, so if you need something festive, you could do worse than these dessert-themed creations from Merry About Town. You're going to need a few ingredients

that aren't standard in most bars -- rosemary sprigs and caramel syrup to start -- but the brown sugared rims are worth the extra effort!

Te gusta margaritas? Then try whipping up a batch of these to keep the Mexican spirit alive in 2018. Make sure you buy the strawberries fresh, but pro

tip: freezing them before sticking them in the blender will result in a thicker and richer drink.

This classic cocktail is as simple as they come, but requires just enough effort to make you feel like you've still got a cocktail. The coke-and-grenadine recipe is always a

hit with kids!

This twist on the classic, courtesy of Always Order Dessert, is going to require a little elbow grease to make -- those lemons aren't going to squeeze themselves. But the

balanced cocktail that comes out in the end (which should absolutely be served in a champagne flute) makes it totally worth it.

Besides, it has rock candy in it. 'Nuff

said.

This twist on the go-to ginger beer cocktail comes from The Merrythought. Basically, you don't need to change much from the standard mule recipe except cutting out the liquor, which

will end up giving you a sweet little treat. The copper cups are not required, but recommended.

We want to give you some mind-blowing secret to booze-free sangria, but honestly, this is pretty simple: just don't use wine! A combination of black tea and pomegranate juice

acts as a viable substitute for the real thing; mix that with some other juices and fruit slices and you'll be ready to go in no time.

Not a traditional recipe to be sure, but it looks absolutely delicious. This is closer to dessert in a glass, calling for a hefty amount of sherbet and

ice cream, so while it's good for your liver health, it may not do wonders for your waistline.

Don't discount some spiciness in a drink! This recipe from Pig and Quill perfectly cuts the jalepeño's heat with watermelon and coconut juice.

If you go out to a bar and order a 'virgin mimosa', you're going to get a glass of orange juice -- this is better. Sparkling water, ginger and clementines

are used to approximate champagne.

Cream soda with actual cream?! Who's ever heard of such madness?

This is going to require you to find some flavored syrup. You can run to the store if you're

feeling lazy, or try rending it yourself at home. Don't worry, it's way easier than it sounds: just boil a bunch of fruit, strain and add sugar -- and it'll

taste way better than the store-bought stuff.

Looking for something legitimately healthy? This supercharged avocado-based beverage is closer to a cleanse smoothie than a mocktail; the lime and agave nectar adds a sweet-and-sour element that gives

the drink a pleasant balance.

A classy up cocktail from Set The Table, this one calls for peach shrub -- and no, that doesn't mean a bush.

'Shrub' basically refers to a vinegar-based syrup.

These have become popular with bartenders and mixologists in recent years as customers are trending away from super sweet drinks. So, much like rending your own flavored syrup, this one's

going to require a specialty run to the store or some witchcraft in the kitchen -- but again, it's not as hard as it sounds!

No, you can't just take the vodka out and expect it to have the same bite, so this recipe from A Beautiful Mess calls for adding extra heat to the

recipe -- that's pepper, hot sauce, etc. -- to compensate for the lack of vodka burn.

For sipping on a beach in Cabo. Or, you know, your back porch in the suburbs. Either or.

Now, you can't just slap a pineapple slice on a skillet

and call it a day. A marinade of honey, lime juice and cinnamon will bring out the flavors properly to complement the lime and orange juice-based recipe.

All of those words in a single drink? You know it's going to be good. 

But you've got to work for it; like the name says, you're going to

have to poach pears, which means simmering them on the stove with spices and cider. After that it's as simple as adding the kombucha and a bit of garnish.

One of the perks of no booze is lower calories -- every shot of booze comes with about 90 cals. Once you add the sugary mixers... well, you can understand

where a beer gut comes from. 

Mojitos are typically horrible in this department, but you can cut out the added sugar by simply muddling the mint with lime juice

and adding soda water. It won't be as sweet, but you don't need all the sugar when you're leaving out the rum anyway.

This recipe from Play Party Plan balances sweetness with acidity by mixing a simple strawberry syrup recipe (remember, strawberries and water on the stove, then add sugar) with lemon-lime

soda. Try making one big batch of the syrup and using it over the course of a few weeks!

Seriously, this looks like something you serve at a Halloween party. Or a small January get together, we suppose. But it's super simple to make: just combine blue

fruit punch with some sort of sparkling juice in a glass rimmed with blue sprinkles. Easy peezy.

Throwback to middle school summers by the pool in mocktail form, this is simply a clever combination of orange soda and ice cream. Buying quality ingredients will make it

taste that much better!

The recipe for this calls for lemon juice, juniper, and blackberries, but the real key here is to put the glasses in the freezer for a while before pouring the

drink over crushed ice.

If you're going to go through the effort of putting this together, don't drink it before taking pictures. It's too pretty to be wasted.

Anybody can serve regular old lemonade, so up your game by combining honey, lime juice, sparkling water and sugar together for a delicious cool treat. It's like an upgraded,

bee-friendly version of summer sangria.

Again, anyone can just skip the tequila in a margarita recipe. But you're better than everyone else, aren't you? Try mixing lemonade and pineapple juice together, along with some blended

frozen pineapple chunks to give it some texture.

If you're wanting to skip cider, this looks the part and tastes great. Just mix white grape concentrate, water and ginger ale, then celebrate!

This clever idea calls for you to make a little sugar water in the microwave, then simply add some lemon-lime soda and blue food coloring. Don't forget the

Swedish fish!

And Harry Potter fans out there? This recipe from Love Is In My Tummy is magically delicious (sorry)! Basically just vanilla cream soda with added extracts of butter and rum,

the real key is the float of marshmallow and whipped cream on top.

Popular at all-inclusive beach resorts, this layered smoothie is just as good without the rum. Throw together your favorite recipe for a piña colada and a strawberry daiquiri

in two separate blenders, then pour them artfully into a single glass!

Fun fact: if you're really wanting to make a syrup but can't find the actual fruit, using juice will do as a reasonable substitute. This pomegranate mocktail is a

perfect example of that; just add club soda to the syrup and you've got a perfect little drink!

A simple little concoction with a badass name, this one's made with lime and pineapple juice, white grape juice, mint and blueberries. It looks classy in a martini

glass, too!

It sounds like a country song, in the best way possible. You're going to reduce the blueberries into a syrup -- wait til they start exploding in the

pan! -- then incorporate that into regular old lemonade, along with club soda to add a little carbonation.

If there's not going to be any booze, you might as well make sure the drink is pretty. These bad boys from A Helicopter Mom certainly meet that requirement,

as they're simply a bright layered combination of Sprite, pineapple juice and fruit punch.

This sounds the thing you want delivered to you at the beach -- but now you can make it at home with just some coconut cream, sparkling water and

lime juice!

How often can you say you've had a cantaloupe cocktail? Make this and the answer will probably be '1'.

The definition of aqua fresca is basically strained fruit puree,

water, and sugar. Splash that with a little lime juice and you'll have this recipe down pat.

We know it sounds and looks heavy, but it's actually super refreshing and usually served chilled in Mexico. 

Pulling off a proper homemade horchata may be a little

daunting, but some experimentation with cinnamon sticks, almonds, and ground rice should eventually get you to a delicious little creation from south of the border!

Like the drink from Sonic but fancier, this copycat only requires lemon lime soda, lime juice and some cherries. Throw some fresh fruit on top to elevate your mocktail

above the fast food joint!

This tastes like it smells amazing. Or the other way around. Whatever, you get it.

This one's based in coconut water (obviously), along with some lemon juice and sugar.

But the real trick is pulling off the lavender syrup, from whence you'll get the aromatics and color for the drink.

The 'paloma' is a classic tequila cocktail. See what they guys at The Brewer and The Baker did there? This modified recipe cuts the liquor out and consists just

of grapefruit and lime juice, along with a little added sugar, club soda, and a lime garnish.

Sometimes the name tells you all you need to know about the recipe. Make yourself some mango syrup (same formula as before) and add it to a standard glass of

iced tea. Put it in a mason jar for extra southern points!

The classic poolside drink of summer, except designed with your liver in mind. Simply put some crushed pineapple, coconut milk, and a bit of sugar in the blender and plug

it in!

Here's what happens when you take a couple awesome flavors and slap some ice cream in it. It's just ginger ale and pureed mango to start, but you

can add your own twist to this recipe by getting a fun flavor of ice cream or sherbet for the final product.

Nice and herbal, but complicated. You're going to start by simmering a couple ginger coins before steeping hibiscus for several minutes. Be careful with that, by the way, as the

tea will stain just about anything it touches. You should add a bit of pineapple juice to cut the bitterness, but still, you should definitely give this recipe

a go when you get sick of all the sugar.

Alright, by now you probably know that lemonade is just lemon juice, sugar and water. By adding a new ingredient though -- in this case pureed mango -- you can

totally up your mocktail game.

Here's a fun game: don't tell your guests it's not normal lemonade and watch their reactions!

This will help you keep your own with the girls from Sex and the City, even if you are leaving out the vodka. The recipe is just a twist

on the classic Cosmopolitan martini, here featuring cranberry juice, lemon lime soda and a squeeze of lime juice.

Most of the time, you hear these called for at 2am in a college bar. But once you take the stigma (and liquor) away, it's actually really tasty. Just put

two parts orange juice in with one part pineapple, and a bit of lime juice and viola!

These are like a health smoothie that should have liquor, but doesn't actually have liquor. So... just like a health smoothie.

You're going to blend some bananas with water,

then mix that with orange and pineapple juice and put into the freezer. When the mix gets slushie, pour it into a glass along with some lemon lime soda and

serve.

This custom recipe from La Fuji Mama is basically a twist on the Pisco Sour, just different and liquor-less. It's based in coconut water and lime juice, but don't

forget to add an egg white for texture!

Seriously, anything with ice cream (or sherbet) in it and we're in. This recipe calls for apple and pineapple juice dumped all over some strawberry sherbet. Don't blame

us for the sugar crash later.

Take a tropical cocktail recipe, throw some tropical fruit in it and boom, non-alcoholic magic. You're going to want to puree the mango thoroughly, then you can probably

skip on the customary mojito sugar considering how much you're adding via fresh fruit.

Want to fake like you're drinking in the morning? This is the best way to do it, a twist on the classic Tequila Sunrise that simply takes a

glass of orange juice on ice and some grenadine to make!

More than just a cool name, the usual recipe calls for a random assortment of juices -- think orange and pineapple -- topped off with some ginger ale. But the

real key is bitters: the classic cocktail ingredient elevates the drink above a simple bubbly juice mash-up.
