Looking for a fun, non-alcoholic citrus drink to enjoy? Try this Sparkling Citrus Mocktail! It uses three different types of citrus and sparkling water for a little fizz.
Perfect during prime citrus season for holidays like New Years, Christmas, and Easter, or for a brunch crowd at baby showers or wedding showers. You can also add a little champagne if you want to turn your mocktail into a cocktail.
Have a pregnant friend coming to an event you’re hosting? Or maybe it’s Dry January? Whatever the case, you can still serve (and consume!) fun citrus drinks that are non-alcoholic.
These are easy mocktails for a crowd because there’s really nothing much to them. While I recommended making some of the liquids yourself (like the lemon simple syrup), if you’re really short on time you can definitely buy everything at a store.
Plus they look pretty. And it’s always more fun to eat and drink food that looks pretty.
These sparkling mocktails go great with other brunch fare, like a gluten free frittata, apple cinnamon muffins, or even the overdone-but-still-delicious simple avocado toast. If you need more serving suggestions, check out this list of over 15 gluten free brunch ideas.
Ingredients
- Lime sparkling water – any brand will do, just make sure it’s unsweetened. You could also do a lemon-lime flavor, or an all-citrus flavor if that’s what’s available.
- Grapefruit juice – fresh squeezed is preferred, from 2 medium grapefruits, but you can use it from a bottle to save time. Again, just make sure it’s unsweetened.
- Lemon simple syrup – you can buy this or make it yourself by clicking on the link provided.
- Fresh raspberries and lime – for color and to garnish.
- Ice cubes – one to two cups, though these are optional.
