Sprite lemongrass mocktail in Bangkok
I was in Bangkok last October for a work trip and I had this delicious mocktail drink at a mall food court of all places. I loved it and I’m trying to figure out how to make something as close as possible to it.
I know it had Sprite, as Coca Cola branding was on the stall and the cups. It looks like it had lemongrass and either basil or mint leaves. I’m not sure what else. It was very limey, refreshing, and despite having Sprite it didn’t taste nearly as sugary as a canned Sprite does.
I’ve attached some photos I found online of the drink. It’s the “Sprite Herb” drink in the menu.
Does anyone know if any recipes that would be similar or have any suggestions for how to create something like this?
Thanks!
Need help stocking my alcohol free garage refrigerator, and need some healthy options besides teas.
Are there any healthy(ish) tasty bottled/canned drinks out there that isn't tea? Any suggestions are welcome.
Mango Beer 🍺
I’m having mango beer leaving from the past 1-2 months any recommendations Kya kahan ki achi and worth it hai ??
Easy yet complex flavor mocktail recipes? Batch recipes? Concentrates?
Might be a strange request but… I’m trying to stay more hydrated throughout the day and also reduce my sugar intake. Problem I’m finding is I just don’t enjoy a lot of drinks. Flavored waters, pre-biotic sodas, nothing hits the spot. I think part of it is an ADHD dopamine thing.
Only thing I’ve found is Parch Non-Alcoholic mocktails (particularly love the Desert Margarita). But they are expensive, fairly high in sugar, and as I’m sensitive to ginseng I can’t drink too many.
My hypothesis is the flavor complexity of some cocktails/mocktails is what I’m looking for that I’m just not finding in those flavored waters and sodas. They are just so… bland and one note.
Anyways, would love suggestions for any absolutely delicious mocktails with complex flavors that hopefully don’t have too much sugar (or sugar replacements would work) that are either:
Easy to make (quick)
OR can be made in a large batch
OR be made into a concentrate that can be added to bubbly water
I’m open to lots of different flavors and would like variety. That said, I’m very sensitive to caffeine, so please no suggestions that use tea or coffee (not even decaffeinated).
Thank you in advance!
Ideas for wedding
Hi guys! I am currently working on making up a mocktail drink menu for my upcoming wedding! I was wondering what are some favorites. I am trying to come up with some that aren't super sweet. Just trying to find the right balance for everyone!
blueberry basil smash mocktail 🫐🌿 (my new favorite swap to dodge 1,500 empty alcohol calories a week)
summer is still in full swing and honestly my calorie deficit was fighting for its life with all the weekend patio drinks. i decided to try a "damp" lifestyle taper to cut back on the alcohol bloat, and i've been having so much fun making these zero proof craft cocktails instead.
actually seeing the math of the empty liquid calories and money i'm saving just by making these healthy swaps at home is literally the only thing keeping me motivated right now.
Non alcoholic cinnamon whiskey?
Pretty specific, my but four years sober is next week and I would love to get some non alcoholic cinnamon whiskey to celebrate. Are there any sober bars in Denver that serve it or some sort of cinnamon cocktail?
Thanks y'all!
I need suggestions for mocktails
I've never made my own before so I'm looking to make something simple. As for taste profile, I'm not really looking for anything specific. So if you have any broad spectrum ideas just lmk. I know I like fruit though but I'm looking to explore for interesting combinations. I also perfer strong flavors rather than light flavors like cucumber for example.
The only thing is that I don't want soda in it. Sparkling water is perfect, I'm really just looking for something to replace soda drinks (like sprite/ginger beer) since I'm trying to cut that stuff out of my diet.
Mocktail lovers - suggest

Hi Samaste, 👋
Tried a homemade Blue Curacao today (lemon + ice + Sprite) and loved it! 💕
Looking for suggestions:
Your top 3 mocktail syrup brands & flavors?
How do you usually drink them (Sprite, soda, tonic, sparkling water, or which alcohol)?
Any good affordable zero-/low-sugar syrups available?
Thanks! 🍹
The Triple C Tonic for Mocktail Monday
It's another Mocktail Monday, and we are back from our short little hiatus thanks to gallbladder surgery. This week we are making what we're calling the Triple C Tonic, because supposedly carrot juice, coconut water, and cucumber juice are all good for recovery, and conveniently they also go really well together.
The freshness of the cucumber, a little salinity from the coconut water, and a touch of earthiness and sweetness from the carrot all play nicely against the slight bitterness of the tonic and those floral notes from the bitters, which give you a well rounded mocktail. That said, if you find tonic water a little too bitter, feel free to substitute plain soda water instead.
Recipe: Triple C Tonic
Ingredients:
0.5 oz lime juice
1 oz carrot juice
2 oz cucumber juice
2 oz coconut water
5 dashes floral bitters
~4 oz tonic water
Build:
Add the lime juice, carrot juice, cucumber juice, coconut water, and bitters to a shaker tin with ice. Shake well to combine and chill.
Simultaneously pour the tonic water and strain the mixture into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Pouring them in tandem helps everything mix evenly.
Garnish with a cucumber ribbon and a lime wheel, and enjoy!
Simple 2 min Cherry mocktail
Crush de seeded Cherries
Add Sugar, little Salt
Blend everything together
Add this to a glass, add soda, and lots of ice

Tips on improving homemade pina colada recipe?
So recently I've been making pina coladas outside of the usual syrup mix because I always found it was too sweet and lacked the coconut and pineapple flavour
(Plus, I wasn't a fan of the crushed-up ice feeling on my teeth)
So I've been trying my hand at making my own little mix, which has been going well. Currently, the recipe has:
Pineapple juice
Coconut milk drink from Thai coco (I prefer this brand because it tastes more coconutty and creamier, but you can use whichever brand you like, really)
And this coconut syrup that I found at the grocery store one time lol
Since I have to freeze the coconut drink directly in ice cube trays, I don't have to worry about that crunch on my teeth. But now I'm wondering what else I could put in there that could make it taste even better!
I was looking at other recipes online to see what others have put in it, and saw one that used lime and banana. I'm not super crazy about bananas, but my mom might like it.
I also saw that the coconut milk had different flavours. I wonder if a strawberry pina colada would taste strange?
I did make some earlier, but I ate it already, so no picture sadly, but I can guarantee that it looked like a pina colada lol

Low calorie riff on an espresso martini?
Brewed a big load of decaf and looking for inspiration for espresso flavoured drinks to make for my wife, who loves espresso martinis! The lower calorie the better! :)
Absolutely doesn’t have to be ‘martini-esque’ - just enjoyable coffee based AF drinks! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you!
Mango coconut
I have made a mango coconut mocktail. I have put milk and coconut water as base.(usually I use coconut milk but today I used coconut water. I also put in a splash of gingerale and squeeze of fresh lime. It tastes so delicious and it is one of my favorites. What’s you guys favorite mocktails.
Made an experimental mocktail that someone may have already had a similar idea for. I’m debating on calling it either a “Valentine’s Day” or a “Cupid”.
Add grape juice, cherry juice, strawberry syrup, and chocolate syrup in a shaker with ice then shake. Siphon contents into a cocktail glass halfway, then top with ginger ale. Finally, garnish with some skewered cherries.
Brought my strawberry guava booch to work again! This time with actual glasses and a view : )
hi booch people
i brought another batch to the office!
this one is actually a repeat of my first ever batch, strawberry + guava with a black tea base
everyone liked it so much the first time that i decided to make it again
except this time i learned my lesson and did NOT pour the whole thing into a wine decanter first lol
poured it straight into these two nice glasses instead and everyone loved it again! Pic was from 6:30 PM so by everybody I meant me and my boss lmao. But hey u need to make ur manager happy somehow.
you can even see the tiny pieces of strawberry / guava still floating around in the close up
i did not strain it but apparently some little guys survived from the juice i mixed in
personally i think it looks pretty awesome, but idk if other people prefer their kombucha completely clear
also the Bay Bridge 🌁 was looking beautiful in the background so obviously the booch needed a photoshoot 📸🤳
San Francisco booch with Oakland on the other side : )
do y’all use whole fruit for your F2? do y'all completely strain the fruit out then? or do you also end up with tiny pieces floating around
