Fruity Mocktails are a refreshing, thirst-quenching drinks, and, as the name suggests, alcohol-free. Our version is made with pineapple, mango, lime juice, and ginger ale, garnished with strawberry, pineapple, and melon skewers. This tasty and colorful mocktail is perfect for serving at brunch alongside appetizers and finger foods.
This is an excellent drink for teetotalers, but also for anyone who wants a light beverage, suitable for the little ones at home. Of course, you can customize the recipe however you like, using your favorite fresh seasonal fruit, always trying to balance the flavors by combining a sweet base with a more acidic part.
Can I Swap Ginger Ale With Anything Else?
If you like, you can replace the ginger ale with tonic water, soda water or plain sparkling water, adding some grenadine syrup if you like.
Can Kids Drink Mocktails?
Yes, kids can drink mocktails. Since they don’t contain alcohol, they’re generally safe for children to enjoy. That said, keep an eye on sugar content, since many mocktails rely on sweet juices or syrups. A good approach is to make lighter versions using fresh fruit, citrus juice, mint, and sparkling water, which keeps them refreshing without being overly sugary.
Can I Use Fresh Pineapple and Mango Instead?
Yes, you can swap store-bought pineapple or mango juice for fresh fruit in mocktails and in many cases, it actually makes the drink taste brighter and more natural.
To do it, simply blend fresh pineapple or mango with a small splash of water, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve if you want a smoother juice. This creates a fresh fruit purée or juice that can replace bottled juice in most mocktail recipes.
Because fresh fruit is often less sweet than packaged juice, you may want to add a little honey, simple syrup, or agave to balance the drink. Fresh citrus (like lime or lemon) and sparkling water also help brighten the flavors.

How to Make Our Pineapple, Mango & Ginger Ale Mocktail
To make our mocktail, first clean the strawberries, pineapple, and melon and thread them onto wooden skewers, setting them aside for decoration. Next, cut one of the limes in half and squeeze the juice out of it using a juicer.

Pour the lime juice into two cocktail glasses. Then rinse the other citrus fruit thoroughly and cut it into slices: you will need them for the final decoration.
