Mocktail Recipies?!
Mocktail Recipies?
A cocktail is an alcoholic drink that mixes different combinations of liquids together to make them more pleasant.
What I want to know is what is your favorite "mocktail"...a mix of non-alcoholic beverages that tickles your taste-buds. Of course people have already been doing this forever (so don't give simple answers like "A milkshake" or "V8", be original!) Give out your recipe, description, and what you call it.
