Valentines Mocktails

These Valentines mocktails are great for any special occasion but are especially special for a Valentine's Day celebration. Serving delicious mocktails is the perfect way to share your love with your whole family.

Holidays are my favorite because it gives us an excuse to make themed treats. Growing up, my mom and I always made holiday goodies for whatever holiday we were celebrating.

It didn't take much for us to come up with an excuse to make some sort of treat. A lot of my holiday memories involve me baking with my mom, and now I continue that tradition with my kids.

We bake these incredibly tasty gluten-free Thanksgiving treats, Christmas reindeer check mix, and so many cookies. These Valentine's cookie gifts are great to give to someone you love.

Our other drinks, homemade root beer, Halloween mocktails, layered 4th of July mocktail, cranberry mocktail and best Thanksgiving punch are all great non-alcoholic sips that everyone will love. And this non alcoholic champagne is perfect for any celebration!

Some may say the perfect drink doesn't exist, but they are wrong. This strawberry beverage is one of my favorite drinks to make because it is so easy. Plus, it is great for special events.

You can serve it as great DIY Valentines treats for school at a Valentine's Day party, for a romantic dinner, for a Valentine's Day (or Galentines theme party) dinner with friends and family, or just for fun.

Everyone will love this refreshing drink and it goes great with our Valentines cake pops recipe or our fun Valentines breakfast ideas kids will love. Make it extra fun with Valentines day chocolate dipped fruit gifts or our homemade Valentines charcuterie board as a gift.

Ingredients needed

• Strawberries or raspberries - You can use fresh strawberries (with the stems removed) or fresh raspberries for this easy mocktail recipe. You can use both if you desire.
• Frozen limeade - Frozen limeade helps balance out the flavor of the fruit, making a tasty Valentine mocktail.
• Fresh basil - We recommend using fresh basil, but you can use mint leaves or rosemary if you prefer.

Tips for success

• Serve at baby showers - This is totally random, but this delicious drink would be perfect at a baby shower. The mom-to-be can't drink, so why not help her feel included at her own party and serve a mocktail?
• Use a pretty glass - I love serving my favorite mocktails in a fun glass because it makes it feel like a fancy drink. You could serve these festive mocktails in margarita glasses, champagne glasses, or stemless wine glasses.

Storage and Freezing

Storing - We wouldn't recommend storing this drink in the fridge because the ice will melt, and it will alter the flavor. These Valentine's Day mocktails are best served fresh.

Freezing - You can freeze this in ice cube trays and pop them out as you want to enjoy. You can even add frozen cubes to a glass and top with club soda.
