Mocktails are a fun way to spice up your daily water intake. But what exactly are they?

At Rachel Scheer Nutrition, we like to believe that mocktails are the less “adult” but yet, more mature, way to improve your water intake. Why is that? They contain healthy non-alcoholic alternatives that, in comparison to cocktails, can help the gut… rather than hurt it.

Cocktails contain alcohol, which can contribute to a multitude of health conditions and dis-ease, especially when consumed in excess. On the other hand, mocktails focus on alternative ingredients that can add micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) into your hydration.

It’s a win-win as mocktails help you drink more fluids, incorporate micronutrients or superfoods, and stick to your calorie goals. Plus, they taste great!

But, what are some recipes to help you begin? We’ve got you covered.

The next time you are basking in the hot summer sun, here are 5 refreshing mocktail ideas for you to try that won’t cause your goals to fall to the wayside!

• Strawberry Mojito Mocktail
