The 7 Best Sugar-Free Mocktails for Spring
Posted on
Spring is finally on its way and we’re ready for some sun, shade, and seasonal ingredients! With outdoor gatherings getting easier again, there’s no better time to break out the glassware for a garden party starring one of our favorite spring traditions — mocktails!
Whether you’re cutting out booze for a diet, for your health, or for a change of pace, sugar-free mocktails are a great alternative. Tangy, refreshing, and guilt-free, we think healthy mocktails are the best way to fill up on flavor.
Here’s our list of the 7 best sugar-free mocktail recipes to rock your spring sipping!
1. Grapefruit Ginger
Starting out, we picked a super-simple three-ingredient mocktail that's certain to perk up those taste-buds! The sharp flavors of grapefruit and ginger mingle perfectly with underlying spice and bitter notes.

2. Apple Margarita
Sweet. Tart. Refreshing. While apple cider might be more of a fall favorite, we guarantee you'll be tasting spring in these cinnamon and lime laced mock-margs.

Sugar-free mojito mocktails are all the rage right now, but we picked a recipe going a couple steps above. The semisweet dragonfruit brings a unique, mellow flavor to the bright mint and lime.

7. Blood Orange
Blood orange isn't just a great source of vitamin C, it's also packed with a particular kind of tart and citrus flavor that just can't be matched. Add a hint of vanilla and honey for sweetness, and you've got yourself a mocktail for the ages.

Don't forget to make these drinks your own! Try adding fruits or flavors you already enjoy, play around with portions, or substituting sweeteners. Picking the proper glassware and garnish is half the fun when making mocktails, so get creative!
