Fruity, light mocktail recipe?

[moonstone523]

I need to bring a drink to a friends tomorrow night. Looking for a non-alcoholic fruity, summery, healthy spritzer type beverage.

Any recipe leads?

When I'm at work I drink plain soda with a splash of our sunburst mix which is fresh lemonade concentrate. Basically it's fresh lemon juice with sugar or simple syrup. It isn't as refreshing with water, but with seltzer or soda it is rejuvenating and heavenly. Or I use a squirt of a flavored Monin syrup but I don't know where you can buy Monin directly.

Bring some fresh mint to garnish whatever you bring with and it tastes that much better, gets all the senses involved. Yum!

Im suddenly in the mood for a mojito!

I don't drink rum but since I make a shit ton of mojitos in the summer my mind instantly goes there. You can do virgin ones, we do it at work all the time. It's not a pain in the ass at all

This isn't a fruity cocktail recipe at all, but when I was pregnant my mocktail of choice was San Pellegrino with lots of lime served in a stemmed glass with a straw. It was refreshing and delicious, didn't have added sugar and could be ordered anywhere or was easy to take to parties. The fancier glass, lime and carbonation all tricked my mind into thinking I was drinking fun instead of yet another glass of water. However it wouldn't be anything special if you regularly drink sparkling water. I also sometimes would do pomegranate lemonade with San Pellegrino to mix it up.

I know you're anti-pinterest, but it might be worth checking out this board. Not sure how much of it is healthy, though there are probably ways you could alter the ideas.

LOL. I'm not anti-pinterest at all. I just get a little overwhelmed by everything there. ;D
