Wedding Catering Ideas: 10 Signature Mocktails Recipes to Suggest to Your Caterers

Are you a bride who has never tried alcohol before? Or the kind who swears by sodas and coffee rather than having a shot of tequila? Or have kids, mom-to-be, auntyji’s and chachiji’s who prefer getting high on Pepsi, attending your wedding celebration and you wish to give them an alternative to boozy drinks?

You always have the option of serving depressing juices or fizzy colas. Why not serve your guests a fancy drink instead? We’ve talked about delicious cocktail recipes before, but there are some really drool-worthy mocktail recipes we’ve come across that will keep your teetotallers in high wedding spirits without making them feel left out from the signature cocktail moments.

If you’re looking for suggestions to offer to your wedding caterer to create personalized signature drinks, these mocktail recipes are a great steal. Simply hand these over to them and watch the magic unfold. Your guests will surely request for a glass or more. Have a drink dispenser ready, we suggest.  

These mocktail recipes can also come handy for times when you’re throwing a house party.

Red, White and Blue Mocktail

INGREDIENTS:

• ¼ cup fresh raspberries (or strawberries)
• ¾ tps. grenadine
• 2 tablespoons club soda
• crushed ice
• lemon-lime soda

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Place raspberries in the bottom of a tall glass and drizzle the grenadine over them
• Next add your club soda
• Then fill your glass with crushed ice (all the way to the top) – this separates the blueberries from the raspberries
• Slowly pour in your lemon-lime soda – make sure to pour slowly or the grenadine will mix into the soda too much and take away the “white” look!
• Add a handful of blueberries on top
