Things You'll Need:

- Ice

Step 1
Stock up on fruit juices, which are the base for many mocktails. Orange juice, lime juice or cranberry juice are great ways to start out a refreshing mocktail. Tropical mocktails are delicious with blended juice drinks such as peach-cranberry, or for more exotic drinks, try blends such as banana-mango. For a mocktail with real zing, try some lemonade or grapefruit juice.

Step 2
Make fizzy drinks by adding some ginger ale, tonic water, club soda or lemon-lime soda. Try mixing them with different combinations of fruit juices for a mocktail cooler.

Step 3
Buy a small bottle of grenadine syrup if you want to make mock cocktails such as a tequila sunrise, Singapore sling or pink lady. Grenadine will add sweetness to your mocktails, along with a rosy red glow to orange or pineapple juice blends.
-
Step 4
Make a tomato-juice-based mocktail that imitates the Bloody Mary by simply leaving the alcohol out. Put the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and other ingredients in a highball glass with plenty of ice, and you've created a Virgin Mary.

Step 5
Garnish your glasses for a festive finishing touch. Plastic toothpicks skewered with pineapples or cherries, colorful straws, tiny umbrellas or even just slices of lemon, orange or kiwi will finish your mocktails in style.
