    Love Mocktail - Perfect Drink Recipe for a Date

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Looking for love? Look no further! Our love mocktail will give you all the love you need.

    It is fruity and sweet, tangy and flavorful. The love cocktail is just as complex and amazing as real, true love. However, unlike real love, our love mocktail is very easy to create. Let us tell you all about it!

    Ingredients for a Love Mocktail

    You don’t need much to make a love mocktail. In fact, you can create this delicious non alcoholic drink with just four main ingredients. Here is what you will need and a little bit about each ingredient:

    • Cranberry Juice- The cranberry juice you find in the grocery store is usually a cranberry cocktail. This is totally fine! In fact, it is often a little sweeter than pure cranberry juice. Pure cranberry juice or cranberry juice cocktail will work in this mocktail recipe.
    • Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice- We like ruby red grapefruit juice due to it’s pretty color. Ruby red juice is a brighter, pinker color than regular grapefruit juice. It is more the color of love!
    • Monin Raspberry Syrup- Any kind of raspberry simple syrup will work. We like the Monin raspberry syrup because it has a very strong, natural taste. It is also a pretty pink color which matches our love theme!
    • Lime Juice- Fresh lime juice adds a lot of bright, tangy flavor to the drink.

    We like to rim the martini glass in sugar, giving the drink a little extra sweetness with every sip. Let us tell you all about how to make a perfectly rimmed glass.

    Perfect for Valentine’s Day

    How to Rim a Cocktail Glass with Sugar

    Adding a sugared rim to a cocktail glass is very easy. Once you learn how to add a sugared rim to a glass, you may start sugaring all your drinks! Here is what you need to do:

    1. Pour a little sugar on a plate or shallow dish. You want the sugar to be about ⅛ of an inch deep. Deeper sugar will go up the rim of the glass more, giving you better sugar coverage.
    2. Rub a lime or lemon wedge around the rim of the glass. This will wet the rim so that the sugar will stick to it.
    3. Flip the glass upside down and dip the wet glass rim into the sugar. The sugar should stick right to the glass!
    4. Pour your mocktail or cocktail mix into the sugar rimmed glass, being sure not to pour the drink over the rim and ruin the pretty sugar rim.
    5. Enjoy!

    If you want to make a salt rimmed glass, you can follow the exact same steps, just use salt instead! Larger flaked salt like Kosher salt or sea salt work best. Coarse sanding sugar works best for making sugar rimmed glasses. Look for flavored sugars or colored sugar for an even more fun drink! A pretty pink sugared rim on this love mocktail sounds fantastic!

    Fresh Juice for Drinks

    If you are feeling extra ambitious, you can add a little bit more love to this mocktail by making your own juice. You can make fresh cranberry juice or freshly squeezed red grapefruit juice. Here is a quick look at how to make the fresh juices you need to create this tasty drink.

    Make Homemade Grapefruit Juice- Buy a large grapefruit that is a little soft when you squeeze it. You want the grapefruit to give a little under your fingers which indicates that it is nice and juicy inside.

    Slice the grapefruit in half horizontally and then squeeze the grapefruit over a fine mesh sieve and bowl. The sieve will strain out any seeds and pulp while the bowl catches the tasty juice. Chill the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice until you are ready to use it!

    Make Homemade Cranberry Juice- Add one pound of cranberries and four cups of water to a bowl. Bring the water to a boil. Boil the berries until they burst. The skins should crack and the berry will look like it exploded.

    Pour the hot cranberry juice through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the berries and keep the juice! Let it chill in the fridge until you are ready to use it to make our love mocktail.

    Making homemade juice can be a tasty way to make this drink even better. The fresh flavors will definitely be noticeable. Keep in mind that fresh juice only lasts about 3-4 days in the fridge. That means you will need to drink up!

    Our love mocktail is perfect for Valentine’s Day, date night or just to sip and enjoy with friends. Spread the love with this amazing, flavorful, non alcoholic drink. It is sure to win the hearts of anyone who tries it! Enjoy!
