One of the best parts of travelling is trying new cuisines. When you holiday in Italy, you want to indulge in pizza, pasta, and gelato.

You get the picture! But what about trying the country\u2019s best drinks? When it\u2019s time to sit down and sip on a refreshing beverage, which are the tastiest drinks and best mocktails<\/a> to try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23 of the Best Non-alcoholic Drinks & Mocktails Around the World<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you know, we love to find delicious mocktails with all the flavour of their classic counterparts and none of the alcohol. Plus, we don\u2019t think you should be restricted to water or lemonade when you travel the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you\u2019ll find a round-up of non-alcoholic drinks that are either inspired by a country\u2019s flavours or<\/em> popular in the country in question. So, whether you\u2019re heading on holiday and want to know what to order at the bar, or you\u2019d like to imagine you\u2019re travelling from the comfort of your own kitchen, we\u2019ve got an idea for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buckle up! Let\u2019s travel around the world in 23 mocktails...<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disclaimer<\/em>: It\u2019s important to always double-check the ingredients of a drink before you try it, just to make sure that it doesn\u2019t contain alcohol. Recipes may differ from bar to bar and country to country, so it\u2019s always wise to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore Sling Mocktail \u2013 Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Singapore Sling is one of the most famous cocktails in the world, but why should you have to miss out just because you don\u2019t drink alcohol?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make a non-alcoholic alternative for this delicious drink at home by swapping out the alcoholic ingredients, such as by substituting cherry brandy for cherry syrup. With flavours of pineapple and orange, you can turn this cocktail into a mocktail easily without losing its fruitiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"San<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you visit Singapore, simply ask the bartender if they can make you a non-alcoholic Singapore Sling<\/strong> with pineapple juice, orange juice, and soda. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugarcane Juice \u2013 Latin America, North Africa & Beyond<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sugarcane juice is enjoyed across the globe, from India to the United States to Egypt. It\u2019s made by pressing sugarcane and, as its name suggests, has a sweet taste. Depending on where you drink it, you might also add other flavours like mint to give it a little extra boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t want to drink it fresh, some bars sell canned sugarcane juice that you can add to ice on those hotter days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agua Fresca \u2013 Central America<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s a little bit obsessed with agua fresca at the moment, and you might be too if you give it a try. This hydrating drink is very well-liked in Central America, including popular holiday destination Mexico, and is a tempting alternative to margaritas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Watermelon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Agua fresca<\/a> simply means \u201cfresh water\u201d, but don\u2019t worry \u2013 it\u2019s much more exciting than it sounds. There are lots of different variations nowadays, but agua fresca is often blended with fruit, a dash of lime, and even some spices.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whether you\u2019re chilling on the beach in Mexico or visiting a bar with your friends, consider giving agua fresca<\/a> a try! You can also read more about the history of agua fresca and why we think it\u2019s one of the best non-alcoholic drinks out there here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin Pie Martini Mocktail \u2013 USA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you think of the USA during the autumn months, what flavours come to mind? For us, it\u2019s pumpkin! That\u2019s why we\u2019ve shared the recipe for this Pumpkin Pie Martini Mocktail<\/a> to help you whip up an autumnal storm from home. We can\u2019t guarantee that this mocktail will be served in the USA, but with ingredients like condensed milk and pumpkin pur\u00e9e, it definitely should be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you fancy a mocktail that reminds you of Halloween or the golden foliage associated with American fall, this is the one for you. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agua de Horchata \u2013 Spain & Latin America<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agua de horchata<\/a> might not look like the mocktails you\u2019re used to, with brightly coloured syrups and fruity garnishes. Nevertheless, this sweet drink is not one to be missed if you\u2019re travelling through Spain or Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine creamy rice water flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla, and you\u2019ll have an idea of what awaits you. What\u2019s more, when it\u2019s poured over ice, this drink is extremely refreshing. Agua de horchata is served all over Spain and Latin America, so you shouldn\u2019t have any issues when asking for it at restaurants, bars, or hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, you can also make it yourself fairly easily. There are lots of different variations to try, but we\u2019ve shared our favourite recipe here<\/a> for you to check out. You can also make a vegan version by substituting the dairy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soda Chanh \u2013 Vietnam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam is full of incredible flavours and fragrances, from the fresh garlic and chilli in its national dish, pho, to the incense floating out of temples. If you\u2019re visiting this amazing country, why not enjoy its aromas by sipping on a soda chanh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This soda is a refreshing alternative to lemonade, with fermented lime as its key ingredient. It\u2019s often made with soda, lime, and sugar, before being served over ice. Simple, sweet, and sublime on a hot summer\u2019s day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also make this drink at home but don\u2019t forget to research some tips for preparing the limes like in Vietnam. This is where the magic comes from!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hwachae \u2013 South Korea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When in South Korea, why not sip on a picture-perfect glass of hwachae? This pretty punch is often non-alcoholic, and with so many variations to choose from, you\u2019re bound to find one that takes your fancy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hwachae is typically made with fruits, such as cherries, peaches, melons, or citrus fruits. Edible flowers are another tasty ingredient, so you might notice rose petals floating in yours! They\u2019re often soaked beforehand so they\u2019re nice and sweet, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve never tried hwachae, so let us know what you think if you enjoy this traditional punch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mojito Mocktails \u2013 Cuba<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cuba is the home of one of the most famous cocktails in the world \u2013 the mojito. While this minty drink is traditionally made with rum, nothing is stopping you from sipping on a non-alcoholic alternative beneath the Cuban sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you fancy a virgin Mojito<\/a>, ask the bartender to hold the rum. (Don\u2019t forget to double-check that rum is the only alcohol used in their recipe, just in case). With a zesty blend of lime, mint, and sugar, an alcohol-free mojito still packs a punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make your own mojito mocktail<\/a> at home, we\u2019ve got you covered! You can check out our recipe here<\/a>. We also offer a few tips for really infusing your mocktail with flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margarita Mocktails \u2013 Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t talk about mojitos without mentioning another classic \u2013 the margarita. Although the origins of this drink are often debated, lots of us associate tequila-based margaritas with the sunny shores of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enjoy a margarita mocktail<\/a>, ask the bartender to hold the alcohol. Depending on the bar, this might mean holding tequila or triple sec, or even both. You certainly don\u2019t need either of these ingredients to sip on a refreshing margarita, with the combination of lime and salt leading the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a non-alcoholic margarita at home is also very simple. You can even try lots of different variations, such as spicy margaritas with a touch of fiery chilli. One of our favourites is this frozen virgin margarita recipe<\/a>, which we hope you love just as much as us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zobo \u2013 Nigeria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling to Nigeria, keep your eyes peeled for the pretty pink drink<\/a> zobo. This aromatic drink gets its colour from its main ingredient, dried parts of the roselle plant, which are paired with cloves, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find this flavoursome beverage across the country, in restaurants and bars but also at parties. When you\u2019re socialising in Nigeria, you can pretty much expect zobo to be on the menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making zobo at home doesn\u2019t have to be difficult, as long as you find all the right ingredients and spend time boiling them correctly. You can read a little more about zobo and how it\u2019s prepared here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bandung \u2013 Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is another drink for fans of pink! Bandung, a naturally alcohol-free drink, takes on its gorgeous pink hue from rose syrup, which also gives it a subtly floral taste. This is often mixed with condensed milk, so be aware if you don\u2019t eat dairy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enjoy this drink throughout Singapore, but it\u2019s also popular in Malaysia and Indonesia. So, if you\u2019re heading to the beaches of Bali or the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur, look out for Bandung on the menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to making Bandung at home, don\u2019t forget to add ice and a pretty garnish. This will take it from a creamy drink to a stunning mocktail \u2013 the kind that also deserves a fun glass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellini Mocktails \u2013 Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like sitting in the sun and sipping a bellini \u2013 especially when it doesn\u2019t contain alcohol and won\u2019t leave you feeling fuzzy the next day. We love unwinding with a fruity mocktail<\/a>, and when you opt for a bellini without the bubbly, you can too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Italy, bellinis are traditionally made with Prosecco, so simply ask the bartender to swap this for something non-alcoholic and fizzy like lemonade or soda. As long as your bellini is still made with peach pur\u00e9e or fresh peach, you\u2019ll get to enjoy the fruitiness of this drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re mixing up a bellini mocktail at home, we\u2019ve got just the recipe. We suggest using carbonated apples (such as sparkling apple cider) and garnishing with raspberries and mint. You can check out the full recipe for our non-alcoholic peach bellini mocktail h<\/a>ere<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Champ\u00fas \u2013 Ecuador, Peru & Colombia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

South America is celebrated for its flavoursome dishes, many of which are now extremely popular around the world. It\u2019s less famous for its drinks, but if you\u2019re visiting, there\u2019s one in particular that you might like to try: champ\u00fas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This warming drink is made with maize and a selection of fruits, sometimes including pineapple, apple, or quince. It\u2019s often spiced with cinnamon and cloves to give it a sweet yet aromatic flavour. It depends on which region you\u2019re in, as there are many different ways of making it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger Beer Mocktails \u2013 Australia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so this isn\u2019t a specific non-alcoholic drink or mocktail, per se. However, with ginger beer<\/a> being very popular down under, we wanted to give you a heads-up that it\u2019s available in lots of bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of ways to turn ginger beer into a refreshing mocktail, whether you\u2019re socialising at a bar or having a barbeque on one of Australia\u2019s famous beaches. For instance, you could ask for a ginger beer with a dash of lime and mint leaves.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can be as creative as you like. It\u2019s always worth checking that you haven\u2019t ordered an alcoholic beer accidentally, but ginger beer does tend to be just a soft drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monaco Mocktails \u2013 France  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talking of ginger, we can\u2019t forget to include this Monaco Mocktail recipe<\/a>. As its name suggests, it\u2019s thought that the Monaco cocktail originated in France, but you\u2019ll also see it on menus in Switzerland and throughout Europe. It\u2019s a fairly simple cocktail to make, which means it\u2019s also very easy to adapt without alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As traditional Monaco cocktails are made with beer, you can request that alcohol-free ginger beer is used instead. If you\u2019re drinking in a bar or restaurant that stocks alcohol-free beer, which has become popular throughout Europe, they may also be happy to use this instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re making a Monaco mocktail at home, check out the recipe linked above for more tips and tricks. We hope you enjoy making (and drinking!) this as much as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aam Panna \u2013 India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mango is a key ingredient for many delicious cocktails, from mango mimosas to mango daiquiris. It's also the star of the show in aam panna, an Indian drink for those scorching hot days. The mango is usually boiled or roasted before a dash of cumin is added for extra warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling through India, you might see this drink being served on stalls and in caf\u00e9s  and bars. Don\u2019t worry if mango isn\u2019t your thing, as there are lots of alcohol-free juices and teas served all over India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mimosa Mocktails \u2013 France<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take it back to Europe for a moment. More specifically, let\u2019s take it back to a very European tradition: brunching! Boozy brunches have become especially popular in recent years, with mimosas often being the tipple of choice. However, you needn\u2019t worry if you\u2019re sober or sober curious; mimosas are some of the best drinks to turn into mocktails<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, mimosas are a mix of orange juice and Champagne or Prosecco. However, you can ask for the bubbly to be swapped for lemonade, soda, or any other carbonated drink that you think would taste good with orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Non-Alcoholic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol-free and full of vitamin C, mimosa mocktails<\/a> are truly scrumptious and the perfect drink to sip in the morning. If you\u2019re not holidaying in France any time soon, you can mix up your own with this recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jallab \u2013 the Middle East<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re heading to the Middle East, whether it\u2019s a glamorous trip to Dubai or an expedition in Jordan, you won\u2019t struggle to find delicious, non-alcoholic drinks. The high temperatures in this part of the world, combined with restrictions on drinking alcohol, mean that refreshing alcohol-free drinks are very popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these drinks is jallab, a beverage that originated in Lebanon. This is a sweet, fruity drink made with dates, rose water<\/a>, and grape molasses amongst other ingredients. You\u2019ll probably want to try this drink with ice<\/a> for some respite from the sun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cola and Fizzy Orange Mocktail \u00ad\u2013 Germany<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Germany may be known for its beer, but there\u2019s another drink in town! Mixing cola and fizzy orange is very popular, and it makes for a yummy soft drink to enjoy at bars and restaurants. There are many branded options to choose from, such as \u2018Spezi\u2019 and \u2018Mezzo Mix\u2019, or you can simply make your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something a little fruitier than cola but something a little less tangy than fizzy orange, this could be the drink of choice for you. Plus, if you want to turn this soft drink into an Instagrammable mocktail, all you need to do is add ice, an orange slice, and a funky glass. This is one if the best non-alcoholic drinks in Germany in our opinion, so let us know what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mai Tai Mocktails \u2013 Hawaii<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Mai Tai is a classic drink that you\u2019ll see on most cocktail menus, but did you know that it allegedly became popular in Hawaii? It\u2019s not surprising that it\u2019s now loved across the globe, but don\u2019t worry \u2013 you don\u2019t need to drink alcohol to enjoy its tropical taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ordering at a bar, ask for a virgin Mai Tai (one without rum or any liqueur). If the bartender doesn\u2019t already have a recipe, you could ask them to simply leave out the rum and swap the liqueur for a fruit juice of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what this mai tai recipe<\/a> does. It mixes orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice and lime juice<\/a> with a handful of other ingredients to give you a thirst-quenching drink with lots of flavours and zero alcohol. In our opinion, this is one of the best mocktails on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubble Tea \u2013 Taiwan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bubble tea<\/a> might have its roots in Taiwan, but you can find it almost everywhere nowadays. You might have already tried this delicious drink, but nowhere serves it better than its home country! If you\u2019re travelling in Taiwan and fancy sipping on a non-alcoholic drink that\u2019s just as pretty and flavoursome as a cocktail, then bubble tea<\/a> might be the perfect choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its name, bubble tea is typically served cold over ice. Its base ingredients are tea, milk, and chewy tapioca balls, but it\u2019s also available in lots of tempting flavours. Coffee, mango, caramel\u2026The options are endless! You can also ask for plant-based milk as many bars and caf\u00e9s will offer this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visinada \u2013 Greece<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Going to Greece is the ultimate summer holiday. Whether you\u2019re looking out across the Mediterranean Sea or learning about Ancient Greek civilisations in Athens, there\u2019s so much to do. After a jam-packed day of exploring Greece, you\u2019ll certainly enjoy a glass of ice-cold visinada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made with sour cherries, visinada is sure to quench your thirst beneath the Greek sun. This mouth-watering drink is typically made by mixing cherry syrup with water or soda, so it\u2019s both sweet and hydrating. You can adapt the cherry taste by pouring in more syrup or diluting it with water, so it depends on your preferences. However you take your visinada, don\u2019t forget to top it off with ice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pina Colada Mocktails \u2013 Puerto Rico<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you like pina coladas (no pun intended!), then we\u2019ve got just the right alcohol-free recipe for you. This virgin pina colada recipe<\/a> offers all the taste of the beach with none of the alcohol, making it a must-try whether you\u2019re in sunny Puerto Rico or at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, pina coladas are very easy to adapt. When ordering this drink in Puerto Rico (or elsewhere), simply ask the bartender to leave out the rum. This is typically the only alcohol used, but it\u2019s always important to double-check as some bars create their own recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Virgin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When making it at home, make sure to add a pineapple slice or cherries for an extra touch of pizzazz. If you\u2019re not sipping it on a beach, you should at least treat yourself to a garnish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
