Summer Mocktails Using Olipop

A mocktail is a non-alcoholic beverage that is designed to resemble a cocktail in appearance and taste. It is an alcohol-free alternative to traditional mixed drinks, typically made with a combination of fruit juices, syrups, soda, and garnishes. Mocktails are popular for those who want to enjoy a flavorful and refreshing drink without the effects of alcohol. They are commonly served at parties, social gatherings, and for individuals who prefer not to consume alcohol.

Sugar-sweetened beverages are one of the biggest contributors to added sugar intake in the American diet. By swapping high-sugar beverages for drinks like Olipop, it can help reduce a person’s intake of added sugars while also adding botanicals, plant fibers, and prebiotics into their diet. My newfound go-to choice for concocting delightful mocktails is to incorporate Olipop into the mix. Olipop is a new approach to soda consumption. It offers a different way for people to enjoy their favorite fizzy drinks.

I absolutely adore indulging in the delightful flavors of the Shirley Temple, Orange Creamsicle, and Watermelon Lime Mojito while using Olipop.


Shirley Temple

In a glass, toss in your favorite ice (I’m all about those pebble ones), pour in a can of Lemon Lime Olipop, and throw in some maraschino cherries.

Orange Creamsicle

In a glass, add in a small scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream and pour over a can of Orange Squeeze Olipop.

Watermelon Lime Mojito

In a glass, muddle a few mint leaves, toss in your favorite ice, and pour in a can of Watermelon Lime Olipop.
