An unexpected ingredient helps. Reach for celery salt, smoked salt , pink salt , rosemary salt , chili lime salt …components that come with inbuilt complexity. Even without that bartending staple, your mocktails can have your friends asking for recipes, as well as another round.
And you can find other bitter elements, like charred herbs, grapefruit peel, and some emerging brands of nonalcoholic bitters or complex alcohol-free mixers like Seedlip , to add that balancing element. Here are some nonalcoholic drink recipes to get you started on the road to mixing your own mocktails.
The key is to use homemade grenadine , because the store-bought stuff can be cloying not to mention artificially colored and full of corn syrup ; our version is easy to make and tastes great, thanks to unsweetened pomegranate juice, sugar, fresh lemon juice, and a few drops of orange flower water. Combine that with club soda, some freshly squeezed citrus juice, and homemade maraschino cherries or a high-quality store-bought option like Luxardo cherries and you have a simple but lovely mocktail indeed.

You think about different sweeteners: You can do a regular simple syrup, a honey syrup, you can infuse a syrup with different fruits or herbs. You want to balance that off with some tartness, some acidity, like some fresh lemon or lime juice. You can get really creative and go with pomegranate, which gives you a nice acidic balance with berry flavor. First and foremost, we want our mocktails to be delicious, not syrupy sweet, with as much complexity and depth of flavor as our cocktails.
