EASTER: Easy Easter mocktails for the whole family to enjoy

No Easter feast is complete without beverages to compliment your meal. Adults are free to enjoy cocktails, wine, and sangria: even the Easter bunny gets to have a drink.

However, children feel left out with their ordinary juice and soft drinks. Why not let them in on the fun by creating some easy and delicious mocktails so your whole family can enjoy the occasion?

Here is a top five countdown of the best mocktails you should try this Easter:

5. Cranberry and Apple Cider Punch

Even non-drinkers and children should never be denied the pleasure of a fun and fizzy pink drink.

Ingredients

4 cups apple cider

2 cups cranberry juice

2 cups ginger beer

1 cup orange juice concentrate

Orange and apple slices

 

 

 

 

Method

1. Combine the cranberry juice, orange juice concentrate, and apple cider in a jug
2. Refrigerate until chilled
3. Before serving, place the ingredients in a punch bowl and add the ginger beer
4. Add orange and apple slices to the punch bowl for flavour
5. Grab a glass, fill it up, and enjoy!

4. Mockmosa

An alternative option for a traditional Mimosa. All you need is pulp-free orange juice, and a bottle of White Grapetiser.

Pour 2 cups of orange juice into a jug, and simply add 3 cups of Grapetiser to create a refreshing sparkling drink that your kids will love!
