Notes

Quality of ingredients matters significantly in mocktails - use the freshest fruits and juices for best results. All recipes can be made less sweet by substituting sparkling water for sodas. For the ginger syrup, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup each of water, sugar, and sliced ginger for 8-10 minutes, then steeping and straining. Keeps for two weeks refrigerated. These mocktails are best served immediately while bubbles are fresh.
