15 Summer Mocktail Drink Recipes That Will Make You the Queen of the Cookout

It’s summertime and that means just one thing. It’s time for backyard cookouts, barbeques, and refreshing drinks!

In addition to the rare bottles of pop we break out for these occasions, I like to pull out all the stops and make a pitcher or two of interesting mocktails - cocktails without the alcohol.  They’re a great way to be refreshed while also offering your guests something that’s alcohol free.

  You won’t have to worry about them driving home after leaving your party either. Which is just another reason why mocktails are all the rage.
