Things You Need To Know About Mixed Drinks And Cocktails

I know you’re excited to discover new drink recipes to experiment with right in your home. But first, you need to tell the difference between mixed drinks and cocktails.

In terms of meaning, mixed drinks encompass a wide variety of beverages, including cocktails. It’s essentially any combination of refreshments that require more than one type of drink to make. However, you should know that not all mixed drinks can be referred to as a cocktail.

It’s mainly because a cocktail is all about mixing various alcohols. By contrast, mixed drinks also include non-alcoholic varieties such as mocktails or smoothies.

20 Alcoholic Mixed Drink To Whip Out Right At Home

Sometimes you just want to enjoy a fancy cocktail recipe right from the comfort of your home. Don’t worry because I’m here to bring you some of the easiest mixed drink recipes to recreate. Plus, you get to play with the ingredients to personalize your beverage.

1. Red Sangria

Total time: 10 minutes.

Sangria is an alcoholic drink with a signature vivid red color whose first official appearance was in the 18th century. The punch is a favorite choice of people in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico. Traditionally, the recipe of Sangria is a combination of red wine with various types of diced fruits.

To make Sangria, you want to mix any type of red wine alongside a fruity triple sec recipe or Cointreau with lemon and lime juice. As for the fruits, locals use a simple combo of orange, lemon, and strawberry slices. Then, top the rest of the pitcher with club soda.

Depending on your taste, you can always adjust the sweetness of Sangria by adding more or less sugar. Commonly, Sangria is popular for the sweet and fruity flavors that complement well with the red wine taste. Before serving, it’s best to chill your Sangria in a refrigerator.

2. Moscow Mule

Total time: 5 minutes.

Moscow Mule may sound like a Russian-originated cocktail however, it’s an American refreshment with the simplest ingredients that you can imagine. The beverage hits you with a refreshing flavor for hot summer days.

You only need 2 alcoholic mixers to make this world-renowned cocktail. However, make sure you use more ginger beer than vodka. In addition, I always love squeezing an extra splash of lime juice for a slight hint of sourness.

The most recommended way to serve Moscow Mule is in a copper mug. While it’s possible to just have the drink in any kind of container, the copper mug provides an authentic experience to enjoying Moscow Mule. People often top Moscow Mule with a generous amount of chipped ice.

Moscow Mule is the easiest cocktail you ever fix in your kitchen.

3. Lime Margaritas

Total time: 5 minutes.

Margarita is a cocktail with so many origin stories that people are unable to pinpoint facts from fiction. Interestingly, many people often serve Margarita in a special champagne glass. The cocktail is adored around the world because it’s easy to make with simple ingredients.

Traditional Margarita is a Tequila-based cocktail, with its root in Mexico. Then, locals throw in lime juice, triple sec, and agave. If you have a cocktail shaker, then transfer the Margarita mixture to it with some ice cubes to mix the cocktail well.

For serving, grab your Margarita glass and trace the rim with a piece of lime. In addition, you want to roll the glass’s rim through salt. Finally, pour your mixture into the Margarita glass for serving, but don’t forget to use a strainer to hold back the ice.

4. White Russian

Total time: 5 minutes.

If you’re looking for a creamy and chocolaty drink, then try making White Russian the next time. The beverage first appeared in 1949 along with its counterpart Black Russian. The main difference between the two varieties is the addition of cream to the White Russian.

For this recipe, it’s essential to have vodka and Kahlúa (a type of coffee liqueur) for an authentic flavor. Next, add some ice cubes and stir the concoction gently. Thanks to the Kahlúa, White Russian has a nice kick of coffee flavor.

The most important of White Russian is the cream. Instead of mixing in the cream, you only need to pour it over the mixture. Let the cream naturally blend with the vodka and Kahlúa.

Better yet, I suggest turning the White Russian into a perfectly vegan-friendly drink with the use of almond milk to replace the cream. In addition, you will need to swap out the Kahlúa for Tia Maria (a cold brew coffee liqueur).

5. Mojito

Total time: 5 minutes.

If you’ve ever traveled to tropical islands, you have already encountered Mojito, a popular cocktail in Cuba that everyone loves around the world. Up to today, people are still debating the true story of how Mojito materialized in Cuba.

Most often, people serve Mojita in a tall glass with a few mushed mint leaves at the bottom for a refreshing taste. The Mojito is based on white rum with freshly squeezed lime juice and sugar. To make Mojito, you want to add the already mentioned ingredients to a shaker.

However, you need to strain the Mojito for serving to remove any unwanted pieces of mint leaves. Make sure you always have a little bit of space for the club soda. For a final touch on your Mojito, place some mint leaves on the glass.

While muddling the mint leaves, I have to remind you to be gentle since the leaves can get bitter if you use too much force. The purpose of muddling is to extract the fragrant oil of mints, not the bitter flavor of the leaves.

6. Gimlet

Total time: 5 minutes.

The Gimlet is a fancy and classic way of enjoying high-quality Gin mixed drinks right on the ice, invented in 1867. Although the recipe always requires Gin as the base alcohol, many people argue about the methods of preparing the cocktail correctly.

I like to base my Gimlet on a recipe that requires 3 super easy-to-find ingredients to pair with the Gin: basil leaves, simple syrup (a mixture of sugar and water), and lime juice. Typically, the Gin dominates Gimlet with a trace of mild bitterness and pine-like taste.

For preparation, you need to have a shaker to mix the ingredients properly. Next is the fun part: shake the mixture as hard as you can or until your arm is completely exhausted. Ideally, you want to put a little bit of ice in the shaker to combine the concoction better.

If you think Gin isn’t your thing, the recipe is easily adaptable with the use of vodka which possesses a burning flavor due to the high alcohol content of around 40%.

Gin never tastes better with a simple mix of Gimlet.

7. Pina Colada

Total time: 5 minutes.

Pina Colada is one of the most iconic Rum cocktails in the world, but many don’t know that the beverage originates in the 19th century in Puerto Rico. Later in 1978, the territory claimed Pina Colada as its official drink.

Did you know that the initial Pina Colada recipe was stolen during the 19th century? Today’s Pina Colada is a recipe that materialized in 1954 by Ramón “Monchito” Marrero, a bartender in San Juan of Puerto Rico.

Any party lover knows that Pina Colada starts with 3 of the most basic ingredients: pineapple juice, coconut cream, and rum. As for advice for the best Pina Colada cocktail, you should use light rum because of the mild and slightly sweet taste.

For serving, you can either shake or blend the Pina Colada with ice. I like blending because you get that smooth and slushy texture for the cocktail. The concoction requires no sweeteners since the coconut cream itself is enough to provide a sweet and creamy taste.

8. Screwdriver

Total time: 5 minutes.

If you think this is some tool or I just misspell the cocktail’s name, then you’re wrong. The origin of the Screwdriver is fascinating as it was invented when workers added vodka to orange juice. However, they didn’t have any tools to mix, so they grabbed a screwdriver to stir the concoction.

Just a reminder, you don’t need an actual screwdriver to make this work. You want to have vodka and orange juice in your glass with some ice to top it off. To make it fancier, slide in an orange wedge to the side of the glass.

Most often, this cocktail has a stronger taste of orange juice than alcohol. The vodka only appears as a slight aftertaste because of its mild nature.

9. Mudslide

Total time: 5 minutes.

To my surprise, the Mudslide is a variation of the popular White Russian cocktail. For many people, the Mudslide often makes its appearance as a creamy dessert. The mixed drinks debuted in the 1950s on Grand Cayman Island.

Instead of using only heavy cream for the base like the White Russian, people often resolve to mix Irish cream with heavy cream to pour over the alcohol base of the cocktail. As for the alcohol blend, it’s an easy combination of vodka and Kahlúa.

To further improve the overall look of the Mudslide, I suggest shaving a little bit of chocolate over the glass. Better, there’s even a slushy version of the Mudslide made by blending the mentioned ingredients with ice until the mixture gets a smooth consistency.

10. Mimosa

Total time: 2 minutes.

Mimosa is a Spanish cocktail that appeared centuries ago. People name this alcoholic mix after the Mimosa flower, which has the same color as the beverage. Commonly, people usually feature Mimosa at wedding parties or on high-class commute services.

It’s relatively simple to make Mimosa since it’s mainly a mixture of champagne or sparkling wine with orange juice. The quality of a Mimosa glass is mainly dictated by the quality of your champagne. Preferably, you want to chill the concoction before serving.

Mimoso usually possesses a fruity taste similar to a fruit punch. The best ratio to make Mimosa is 1:1 between champagne and orange juice.

Mimosa is perfect for enjoying an easy night with friends.

11. Irish Coffee

Total time: 5 minutes.

It’s rather strange for coffee to appear as a mixed drink, but this Irish coffee can pack a punch because of its hidden alcoholic taste. In 1943, an Irish chef by the name of Joe Sheridan invented this mixed drink.

A classic glass of Irish coffee consists of freshly brewed coffee with Irish whiskey, maple syrup, and whipped cream as the final step of garnish. Typically, people will dissolve the syrup in a mixture of whiskey and a little bit of coffee.

Then, pour the rest of the coffee into the concoction to stir evenly. If you want a sweeter taste, just drizzle extra maple syrup into the coffee mixture. Make sure you pour it gently over a spoon to make your whipped cream float on top of the coffee and create a beautiful layer.

Ideally, you want to serve Irish coffee as a warm drink. The whiskey complements the strong coffee taste with a light and fruity flavor. Irish coffee is best enjoyed on cold nights.

12. Chocolate Martini

Total time: 3 minutes.

Almost any cocktail will become better by ten folds by introducing chocolate into the mix. The same goes for a fancy Martini glass, a delectable six ingredients cocktail. The recipe is perfect for serving as a cocktail for birthday celebrations or other important events.

Did you know that Martini is also a popular choice of agent James Bond from the famous 007 movies? Bond likes his Martini to be shaken and not stirred, which is also something you should note for this recipe. The purpose is to avoid diluting the Martini as much as possible.

Let’s start by decorating the glass with a chocolate theme. I like rimming the glass with chocolate syrup and then sticking some grated chocolate over it. For the inner of the glass, swirl a little bit of chocolate syrup to create a unique pattern for decoration.

As for the mix, you need vodka as your base with Creme de Cacao (a chocolate-flavored liqueur), chocolate liqueur, and half and half (whole milk and heavy cream). Shake the concoction gently before serving it in a glass.

13. French 75

Total time: 5 minutes.

Any big fan of a champagne-based cocktail will surely love the French 75 recipe. If you already got fed up with regular champagne, now is the perfect time to spark your love again by implementing the French 75 for your next refreshment.

As you can probably guess, the main highlight of a French 75 is champagne with a splash of gin, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Remember, the syrup and lemon juice should be evenly added for harmonious sweet and sour flavors.

As a reminder: you don’t need to feature champagne in the mixing process. Instead, people usually pour the alcohol on top of the gin, lemon juice, and a simple syrup mixture. A standard French 75 should have a nice citrus flavor with enjoyable fizziness.

14. Bloody Mary

Total time: 5 minutes.

The Bloody Mary first came to the world in 1921 in Paris, created by a bartender that goes by the name of Fernand Petitot. The cocktail is unique because it utilizes many strange condiments that you may never expect in a drink’s recipe.

Bloody Mary is mainly characterized by the red color from the tomato juice with a spicy, savory, and salty flavor. If you’re looking to recreate Bloody Mary at home, then you will need to take note as the recipe requires varied ingredients.

For the liquid, you will need to use vodka and vegetable juice as the base flavor to combine with horseradish juice. Remember, it’s the Worcestershire sauce (fermented liquid condiment), Tabasco sauce (hot sauce), and pickle juice that make the Bloody Mary special.

Try out the different ways of making Bloody Mary and find out your favorite option.

15. Paloma

Total time: 5 minutes.

Paloma is an iconic representative of Mexican cocktails. Many people even argue that Paloma is more refreshing than a glass of Margarita. Furthermore, you can even change the Paloma into an alcohol-free recipe to enjoy the fruity flavor solely.

To recreate an authentic Paloma, Tequila is your go-to choice, and I recommend a high-quality brand for the best result. In addition, I like combining grapefruit and lime juice for the citrus flavor. As for sweeteners, simple syrup is a good choice to avoid ruining the original flavor.

Most often, you want to shake the concoction for the mixing process. Don’t forget to spare some space in your glass to top it off with soda water. Ideally, your Paloma should have a sour and sharp flavor.

16. Michelada

Total time: 5 minutes.

If you love beer, then the Michelada has to be your number one choice of beverage in the kitchen. In Mexico, the home of Michelada, locals usually consume the drink on hot summer days to beat the heat.

For a traditional approach to this iconic cocktail from Mexico, you want to use Mexican beer. Depending on your taste, you can pick whichever brand that you like. To add to beer, I like a blend of Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and freshly squeezed lime juice.

For garnish, I always love rimming the glass with chili salt or regular sea salt. Stir your Michelada gently until the sauces dissolve and you’re ready to enjoy a glass of fizzy, tart, and spicy beer.

17. Zombie Cocktail

Total time: 5 minutes.

Don’t let the numerous ingredients of this recipe deter you from making this exciting cocktail for Halloween to impress your friends. However, I do have to remind you that this recipe is not for the people who can’t hold their liquor since it’s quite potent.

The first Zombie mixture was created in 1934 at the Don the Beachcomber restaurant. Commonly, you need to use a blend of white rum, spiced rum, and dark rum for the base flavor. Then freshen up the taste with a combination of lime, lemon, and pineapple juice.

For sweeteners, it’s always a solid choice to use simple syrup to retain the cocktail flavor. Shake the ingredients well and strain the concoction into a tall glass with some mint leaves for garnish. Now have fun making the cocktail to turn your Halloween into a tipsy holiday.

18. Sazerac

Total time: 5 minutes.

Sazerac first made its debut to the world in 1838 in New Orlean with an amazing taste similar to whiskey or Cognac. Its creator was Antoine Peychaud. People name the cocktail after his favorite whiskey, Sazerac de Forge et Fils. However, today’s Sazerac works well with rye whiskey.

It’s easy to fix a glass of Sazerac if you already have the grassy and peppery rye whiskey. Prepare a glass and muddle a sugar cube with some water to create your simple syrup. After pouring whiskey into the glass, make sure you stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Normally, Sazerac flavor is mainly influenced by the type of whiskey you use. For garnish, twist a slice of lemon peel and place it over the glass.

19. Boulevardier

Total time: 5 minutes.

Many people speculate that the Boulevardier came to the world in the 1920s. The beverage’s recipe mainly relies on whiskey as the main ingredient. Commonly, people often have Boulevardier on the rock.

Whatever the case, you need to stir the Boulevardier mixture vigorously to dilute the alcohol slightly. The idea is to make the Boulevardier smoother and more enjoyable. For garnish, a simple twisted lemon peel will do the job wonderfully.

For the alcohol blend, I just love featuring the vanilla and oak notes of a delicious cocktail with Bourbon in the mixture. In addition, you need to have Campari (Italian liqueur) for a distinct herby and fruity taste.

Instead of using sugar as a sweetener, the recipe calls for sweet vermouth (aromatized wine).

Boulevardier is a classic and fancy way to enjoy spirits right at home.

20. Vesper

Total time: 5 minutes.

Vesper is a variation of a glass of Martini. The cocktail first appeared in the British spy novel James Bond in 1953. However, people later replace fruit liqueur with Lilet Blanc or Cocchi Americano for the same effect.

It’s relatively easy to fix yourself a glass of Vesper right at home. All you need is a base of gin and vodka with a splash of Lillet Blanc for a hint of aromatic fruit flavor. Similar to how people prepare Martini, the Vesper also requires stirring for around 30 seconds before serving.

As for garnish, rim your glass with a twisted lemon peel and place it over the drink. It helps add a touch of citrus essence on your first sip of the Vesper. The cocktail is popular for its sweet and slightly bitter flavor.

18 Non-Alcoholic For Your Kids And You To Enjoy

I’ll admit that getting a little bit tipsy is a great way to enjoy your weekend. But you don’t always have to resolve to alcohol to satisfy your taste buds. So try out these divine alcohol-free cocktails to serve anyone in your family no matter the occasion.

21. Strawberry Lemonade

Total time: 15 minutes.

Strawberries and lemonade make for an amazingly refreshing drink on hot summer days. Nothing is more relaxing than the sensation of sipping on a cold glass of fruity drink to make hot days a lot more enjoyable.

For this recipe, you will need to have a blender to create a smoothie-like texture. In a blender, I often throw in freshly chopped strawberries and lemon juice. To sweeten up the beverage, I always use natural honey to get a hint of floral essence.

Depending on your liking, you can always feature some ice so that the final result is a slushy mixture. For garnish, I suggest giving the glass a sugar rim with a wedge of lemon or strawberry on top.

22. Shirley Temple

Total time: 5 minutes.

Originating in California, Shirley Temple is an alcohol-free beverage that was invented in the 1930s by a bartender to serve a famous kid actress at that time. Many people say that the name of this mocktail is derived from the name of the young actress.

A conventional Shirley Temple is a relatively easy-to-make recipe as you only need cream soda, orange soda, and grenadine syrup. Originally, people used to make Shirley Temple from ginger ale, but I always love to have cream soda instead.

While the orange soda and cream soda give Shirley Temple a light yellow color, the grenadine syrup provides the mixture with a beautiful red color and a pomegranate flavor. However, you need to take it easy on the syrup since it is super sweet. People often add a cherry on top for garnish.

Enjoy a nice Shirley Temple for a relaxing night.

23. Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

Total time: 20 minutes.

Daiquiri is a slushy cocktail made by combining rum with citrus juice and sugar. However, the virgin version of this cocktail excludes any type of alcoholic spirits from the recipe. The result you get is a fruity frozen drink, perfect for refreshing yourself on hot summer days.

Let’s start with the sweetener first: I like to mix a simple one by combining water with sugar. The reason for not using other types of sweeteners is that you don’t accidentally mess up the original taste of Daiquiri.

Now comes preparing the strawberries. If you want a slushy blend, then my recommendation is to throw the strawberries in the freezer. In addition, people commonly squeeze in lemon juice with a citrus mixer (usually 7 Up) and some fresh strawberries.

The Strawberry Daiquiri has a mesmerizing red color from the strawberry. After blending the Daiquiri, make sure you give a taste check to ensure that you get the sweetness of your liking.

24. Blue Lagoon Mocktail

Total time: 10 minutes.

It always feels nice to have a mocktail that instantly beats the heat on hot days. Try out the Blue Lagoon, a fizzy 7 UP mixed beverage that will impress anyone with its mesmerizing color. The name of the drink comes from people referring to the blue lagoon in Iceland.

Grab yourself a shaker and pour in Blue Curacao to get the base color with lime juice, lemonade (either Sprite or 7 Up), and soda water. Shake the mixture gently and serve in a tall glass. If you don’t have a shaker, then you can still stir the ingredients directly in the glass.

For the sweetener, my go-to choice is simple syrup. I’ll let you in on a little secret: the Blue Lagoon can easily become a cocktail by featuring vodka or rum in the recipe. But I always love to enjoy Blue Lagoon as a fruity drink.

25. Peach Bellini

Total time: 10 minutes.

Bellini is a popular alcoholic summer drink; however, you can always enjoy the fruity flavor of the beverage solely by eliminating the alcoholic element from the recipe. For those who don’t know, the Bellini originates from Venice in Italy between 1934 and 1948.

Bellini is often characterized by the use of fruit nectar or puree. In the case of this recipe, I prefer blending the peach to a smooth texture to make the puree. Instead of using sparkling wine, people have apple cider as a mixer for the mocktail.

To intensify the peach flavor, I even pour extra peach juice into the mixture. For decoration, drop in a couple of raspberries and a peach slice on top of the glass. A little secret to giving the Bellini a slushy consistency is to freeze the peach slices before blending them.

Enjoy the summer breeze with a cold glass of Peach Bellini.

26. Raspberry Sherbet

Total time: 10 minutes.

Raspberry Sherbet is a great drink to kick start any party for your kids. As an impressive pink-hued refreshment, the frothy drink has a decent sweetness with a fruity taste. Better yet, the recipe is ideal for making use of your remaining sherbet (or sorbet) in the refrigerator.

The key to success in making Raspberry Sherbet lies in picking the Sorbet flavor. Ideally, you want to make the raspberry the main highlight of the recipe, so I choose raspberry-flavored Sorbet to make the beverage.

For the mixer, raspberry lemonade is a brilliant choice to pour over little balls of sherbet. In addition, I love introducing ginger ale to the mixture. The sherbet will become foamy when it comes in contact with the ginger ale. Finally, scoop in extra balls of sherbet before serving immediately.

27. Roy Rogers

Total time: 3 minutes.

The Roy Rogers is a simple mocktail that always takes me back to a trip down memory lane to when I was a kid. Most often, you will see people make Roy Rogers as a cocktail for birthday parties. As you may expect, the name of the drink comes from a famous singer.

A conventional Roy Rogers recipe is mainly depicted by the flavor of Coca-Cola. However, people infuse the drink with extra sweetness from the addition of grenadine syrup. Fill the glass with ice and place a cherry on top to serve your alcohol-free Roy Roger.

Did you know that there’s also an option to add Bourbon to the mix? For adults that are looking for a boozy and simple cocktail, the Roy Roger is a brilliant choice. Although my suggestion is pouring in Bourbon, it’s your choice to put any spirit to your liking.

28. Arnold Palmer

Total time: 4 hours (including 3 hours of waiting for the sugar to dissolve completely).

Your mix of common lemonade and iced tea has a very fancy name in the world of beverages, the Arnold Palmer. The drink was named after a famous golfer that usually orders this particular kind of beverage.

The secret to making a good glass of Arnold Palmer is to brew the tea by yourself. Preferably, you want to cold brew the tea instead of using hot water. It’s not a complicated process as you only need to pop the tea in regular water and chill it in the refrigerator.

Cold-brewed tea tends to produce a sweeter and smoother flavor. Note to yourself that it takes a couple of hours for the brewing procedure to work its magic. Commonly, I like to use black tea to make Arnold Palmer, thanks to its natural earthy and nutty taste.

To extract the most juice out of the lemons, I always recommend rolling them over an even surface to soften up the inner pulps. Finally, you can start assembling Arnold Palmer by mixing the tea and the lemon juice. Don’t forget to adjust the flavor by putting in some sugar.

29. Strawberry Lassi

Total time: 10 minutes.

Lassi may be an unfamiliar name to many, but people usually refer to it as buttermilk. Most often, Lassi is a popular drink in the Indian subcontinent. Depending on the area, Lassi has different variations just by altering the fruit options.

In some way, the Strawberry Lassi is very similar to a standard smoothie recipe because of its smooth consistency and creamy flavor. However, people prefer combining yogurt and milk to make Lassi.

In addition, the recipe for Lassi also utilizes cinnamon for a hint of sweet and woody flavor. As for sweeteners, I love introducing honey to the mixture thanks to its natural flavor essence. While blending, make sure you throw in a few ice cubes to make your Lassi cooler and tastier.

30. Cinderella

Total time: 3 mins.

Cinderella is a fancy fruit mixed drink made by combining 3 simple juices for a refreshing tropical taste right in your hand. The beverage has been a fan favorite of both the young and old. Commonly, Cinderella has a tart flavor accompanied by the sweetness of grenadine.

For the fruit juice blend, I always love going for orange, pineapple, and lemon. Remember, a little dash of grenadine works wonders in improving the overall color of the Cinderella, with a light yellow and red hue.

Combine all the ingredients in a tin shaker and start mixing the concoction. Additionally, you want to top off the rest of the glass with ginger ale or club soda. Finally, slide in a pineapple or orange wedge for decoration, and your Cinderella is ready to serve.

Enjoy the tropical fruit flavor in one single homemade Cinderella glass.

31. Nojito

Total time: 5 minutes.

If you think I just misspelled Mojito right there, then allow me to explain. Instead of calling a non-alcoholic version of Mojito as Virgin Mojito, people just settle it with Nojito. Better yet, the recipe works well with agave syrup for anyone looking for a sugar-free beverage.

To build a Nojito, it’s very similar to how you make a regular Mojito. The most important step is to muddle the mint leaves so you get a cocktail with a refreshing mint taste. Since you won’t be using any alcohol for this recipe, I suggest sparkling water as a mixer for the beverage.

The agave syrup is a healthy choice for your Nojito, plus the taste is very similar to honey. Although the syrup itself has a light amber color, it won’t affect the signature crystal clear look of the Nojito.

32. Sage And Ginger

Total time: 10 minutes (not including 7 days of infusing).

With that massive amount of sweet refreshments, I think it’s appropriate to offer you something healthy. Try fixing a glass of Sage and Ginger then; it will surely help keep you warm through the cold winter days. Plus, it’s also a nice remedy for your throat.

People tend to call these kinds of remedies Oxymel which is essentially a combination of honey and vinegar. Traditionally, the recipe calls for more honey than vinegar. But you can always adjust this ratio to fit your needs.

Let’s jump into making one at home. Start with looking for a clean container to put your ginger slices and sage leaves. Then you can transfer the apple cider and honey into the container. Thanks to the sage leaves, the resulting concoction has a strong flavor with a hint of mint.

Remember, your Sage and Ginger mix will take around 7 days to infuse. It’s best to make this beverage a week before the winter comes for later consumption in the winter.

33. Pomegranate Non-Alcoholic Spritzer

Total time: 5 minutes.

Try out the pomegranate spritzer for a refreshing and simple beverage at any gathering or party. The main highlight of this recipe is the sweet flavor and fruity aroma of the pomegranate juice. The mix is a simple and fizzy drink filled with antioxidant substances.

Most often, pomegranate juice is a popular juice that appears at many supermarkets, but you can also make the juice by yourself. Find a pomegranate fruit and squeeze to get that beautiful red liquid. However, you will also need to strain the juice to remove seeds and sediments.

I recommend using sparkling water as the main mixer with apple and lemon juice to accompany the pomegranate. Ideally, you want to use a large pitcher to contain the mixture so that it’s easier to stir. Finally, garnish your concoction with apple or orange wedges.

34. Grapefruit Rosemary Soda

Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes (including 1 hour of steeping the syrup).

Prepare yourself for a refreshing soda infused with sweet and tart flavor from grapefruit. Nothing can go wrong with this mix, especially for people that love the citrus flavor in their drinks. Plus, the grapefruit juice also gives the recipe a beautiful pink color.

To make the rosemary grapefruit syrup right at home, you need a generous amount of cane sugar with some honey. Then, infuse the syrup with grapefruit juice and zest with a couple of rosemary sprigs. Simmer the mixture until you get a syrup consistency.

Now for the soda, find a glass to hold the sparkling water first, then add your homemade syrup. To make the grapefruit flavor stand out, I love squeezing in extra grapefruit juice. Finally, stir your soda well and serve cold with some ice cubes.

35. Raspberry Cream Soda

Total time: 5 minutes.

Raspberry cream soda is a classic Italian treat for hot summer days. It’s mesmerizing to look at, thanks to the bright red color mixing with the creamy white of half and half. Whenever you have friends over or at a family reunion, be sure to bust out this recipe to treat your guests.

A great thing about this recipe is that it allows you to alter it into a beautiful red-hued cocktail at any time by adding your favorite liquor. The result you get is a soda that has a slight trace of booze in the mix.

The mix requires little preparation as you only need to assemble the ingredients. First, you need to combine the vanilla syrup with raspberry syrup in your serving glasses. Next, gently pour in your favorite choice of soda.

As for the cream, you need to save some space at the top for the liquid to go in. Remember, you don’t have to stir after adding the cream: let it naturally sink in with the soda mixture. For garnish, grab yourself some raspberries and place them over the drink.

Come make an easy raspberry cream soda to enjoy a fizzy refreshment.

36. Non-Alcoholic Long Island Iced Tea

Total time: Around 10 minutes.

Don’t let the name iced tea fool you because the alcoholic version of this concoction is quite potent. In return, the alcohol-free variety of the Long Island iced tea is relatively enjoyable, with a nice hint of apple and ginger flavor.

Instead of using alcohol, people resolve to ginger beer to eliminate the alcoholic element from the drink. Ginger beer is not listed as an alcoholic beverage because the total alcohol content is below 5%.

To add a fruity flavor, I also go for apple cider: it also provides a touch of citrus taste to the iced tea. As for the tea, my best pick is the English breakfast tea. Your glass of Long Island iced tea always tastes better with extra lemon juice in the recipe.

37. Raspberry Pear Smoothie

Total time: 10 minutes.

I’m a person always up for smoothies, no matter the occasion. So it’s understandable why I frequently experiment with different varieties of fruits for a new exciting smoothie creation. The combination of pear and raspberry makes for a healthy start to your day.

Let’s bust out your blender to make the smoothies by throwing in slices of pear with a handful of raspberries. Instead of using milk, I prioritize yogurt for its flavor and thick consistency. Blend until your smoothie reaches a desirable smoothness.

Better yet, you can even pour in cranberry juice to adjust the sweetness of your smoothie. Since it costs little to make, I think you should make it frequently for your entire family to enjoy.

38. Plum Juice

Total time: 5 minutes.

To wrap up this compilation of mixed drinks, allow me to introduce you guys to a healthy plum beverage to make right at home. The drink is high in nutrients thanks to the plum containing many valuable vitamins that your body needs.

Most often, plum juice alone has a sweet taste with a caramel note. There are 2 ways you can enjoy this plum juice recipe: pure plum juice or autumn harvest variety.

To enjoy the pure flavor of plum juice, I only advise you guys to squeeze lemon juice. Depending on your sour tolerance, you can dilute the juice a little bit by adding water. Finally, add some ice cubes and you’re ready to enjoy the pure plum flavor.

For the autumn harvest, the layers of flavor are much more complicated. The recipe calls for carrot, beet, and ginger juice with ingredients from the pure plum juice recipe. The addition of beet helps improve the overall color of the plum juice dramatically with a hint of earthy flavor.
