Mocktail Recipes You'll Actually Want to Try

Even if you're supplying booze at your bash, consider offering a drink sans alcohol, so that all guests—from your flower girl and ring bearer to your expecting sister-in-law—can toast, without getting toasted. Whether shaken, blended, or stirred, each of these nonalcoholic cocktails are imbibed with bold flavors and gorgeous garnishes, so they'll seem just as special as their distilled counterparts.
