These three NEW Mocktini flavors of Ultima Replenisher are so good just mixed with water, or made into a fancy mocktail! This year, for the Holidays, I am making mocktails using them so that everyone can enjoy and drink as much as they want! Plus you can always add in alcohol if you want that extra kick!
Since each flavor is so unique, it was worth making three different drinks highlighting each flavor. All you need is to add a bit of zest and soda water, garnishes and you’re ready to go!
What is a Mocktail?
Before we start making our own mocktail recipes, let’s go over exactly what they are.
They’re a play on the word cocktail, and mocktails are the non-alcoholic versions. They are made using a range of fruit juices and other soft drinks to create appealing and delicious drinks that are made specifically without alcohol.
They can also contain fruit and other herbs such as mint for extra flavor and garnishing. Mocktails are often made to look appealing and fun and are frequently used in place of alcoholic cocktails to celebrate with.
How to make easy Mocktail Recipes
While they might look complicated to make, they really don’t have to be. If you use the right ingredients you can whip up a mouthwatering, impressive mocktail in no time. Today I have three mocktail recipes that will surely become favorites for you to try this holiday season and beyond!
I am using Ultima Replenisher Mocktini-flavored stickpacks which are full of electrolytes. These mocktails are both super enjoyable while also being a refreshing drink with energy-boosting qualities. Not to mention hydrating! Because let’s face it, we all tend to be dehydrated around the winter and holiday season, but we rarely have time to notice that!
Now onto the recipes!
Best Mocktail Recipes
To make these drinks as versatile as possible, I’m making a mix of cold and warm. You can totally make them all cold and refreshing, even frozen. Back in the summer I shared a peach bellini slushie recipe on Instagram and it was phenomenal!
Pineapple Mojito – Mocktail Recipe
This mocktail is a twist on the traditional mint mojito cocktail but with pineapple and without alcohol. It’s the perfect choice when you want something exotic and refreshing. The pineapple brings the perfect tropical twist, that pairs nicely with the fresh taste of mint.

Stir in your soda water and the whole drink into a glass with ice.
Take your pineapple slice and divide it into quarters; use a knife to slice through the point of the pineapple slice and slide it onto the rim of your mocktail glass.
Finally, garnish your Pineapple Mojito with fresh mint leaves, add a straw and enjoy.

Making your own Mocktail Recipes
What’s great about making your own mocktails is that you can get seriously creative. If some of the flavors here don’t tickle your fancy, then you can use Ultima Replenisher with lots of other flavors for amazing and delightful mocktails.
And remember, you can keep alcohol on the side for those who want to transform these into cocktails!
What to use in your own mocktails
Some other juices and drinks that are traditionally used in cocktails and mocktails, that will also pair nicely with Ultima Replenisher include grapefruit juice, ginger ale, sparkling water, ginger beer, and most other fruit juices. There are plenty more drinks you can experiment with too.
When making your own mocktails it’s also important to remember the details. It’s the details that give a mocktail its subtle flavors that make them so interesting and fun to drink.
Lemon juice and/or lemon slices or lime is also a great addition to your mocktail if you want to add a twist to your drink.
The best thing about using Ultima Replenisher is that you don’t need to sweeten your drinks, as they’re perfectly sweetened with Stevia! So guess what? All these fun festive delicious drinks are sugar free!
Use traditional cocktails for inspiration
If you have a favorite alcoholic drink you like to make into a mocktail then it’s easy to get creative making these. You can also use these Ultima Replenisher Mocktini stickpacks to help you create those flavors.
Some of the most popular cocktails to try to make into mocktails include the Bloody Mary, Tequila Sunrise, Cosmopolitan, and Martinis. All of these can be made into non-alcoholic mocktails with a bit of experimentation.
