10 Mocktails, Non-Alcoholic Cocktails, and Virgin Drinks
Virgin Drinks, Anyone?
I decided to put together a set of cocktail drinks that will fill your glasses or mugs. The twist is that these drinks are 100% alcohol-free.
Making drinks that are alcohol-free is easier and cheaper. They're also healthier, whether you're trying to lose weight or just don't want the alcohol in your body. If you think that no alcohol means no fun, check out this list! You might be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the recipes and ideas. Just curious, but doesn't the angostura bitters have alcohol, 44% in it? I realize that it is only a few drops called for, in the recipes, so would it still be considered non-alcoholic?
