A mocktail is simply a cocktail drink, without the booze. Ideal for those who don’t drink alcohol, would like to drink less alcohol, those who can’t drink alcohol or designated drivers, try one of these lovely drinks! Tonic waters contain quinine, so avoid serving them if pregnant or you have an abnormal heart rhythm, kidney or liver disease or low blood sugar. Avoid grapefruit slices for certain medical conditions, and avoid rhubarb tonic waters for stomach/kidney issues.
