Non-Alcoholic Memorial Day Sips
I always feel like Memorial Day is the start of summer time - eventhough there’s technically almost 1 month until summer’s official start. With the 3 day weekend, get ready to toast the unofficial start of summer the nonalcoholic way. Check out some favorite drink recipes.
Here’s some of our favorite chill and pour mocktails to celebrate a non-alcoholic Memorial Day sips from Enjoy Mocktails:
- Tom Collins - Our non-alcoholic mocktail Tom Collins is a gin-based cocktail made with lemon juice and simple syrup. For an extra bit of fizz, top our mocktail with sparkling water.
- Paloma - Our non-alcoholic Paloma is a non-alcoholic tequila-based cocktail. This drink is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila, lime juice, and a grapefruit-flavored.
- Mojito Mule - Our take on mixing a mojito and Moscow Mule, but with a non-alcoholic twist. This mocktail is one of my favorites.
- Cuba Libra - A mix of rum, cola and dash of lime, this non-alcoholic Cuba Libra is famous highball cocktail.

Lemonade reminds me of summer. Here's our twist on this classic.
Lynchburg Lemonade - Remade non-alcoholic style for a non-alcoholic Memorial Day sip.
The name comes from the home of Jack Daniel's, Lynchburg is the home of Jack’s Daniels. Since Las Vegas is the home of Enjoy Mocktails, we not only remade the cocktail, but we changed the name. Here’s our version, non-alcoholic style, and recipe.
Las Vegas Lemonade

Here's a few non-alcoholic recipes with a twist - Here's a take on some classic cocktails, but we’ve not only made them non-alcoholic, but we’ve added a little something for to them for some fresh flavors and for you to enjoy a non-alcoholic Memorial Day.
Watermelon Mojito
Our non-alcoholic twist on the mojito is to take our mojito mocktail and add pureed watermelon to the mojito mix. It not only adds a bright color to your drink, but some extra flavor.
Mint Basil Limeade
For something a little more citrus flavored and refreshing, fill half a glass with your favorite limeade, muddle some mint and basil together in a cocktail shaker, pour in your limeade, fill with ice and shake. Pour the shaken ingredients back into the glass and top with lemon lime soda or lemon or lime sparkling water and enjoy.

Sangrias - Remade the non-alcoholic way! Enjoy these non-alcoholic Memorial Day sips.
Here’s our favorite non-alcoholic Sangria recipe.
Enjoy - Red Sangria
Mix a bottle of Fre Merlot, cranberry juice, Escape Mocktails Eau de Vie, La Orange (3-4 shots), Escape Mocktails Cinnamon Whiskey, add cranberry sparkling water, fresh cherries, cut up oranges, and cranberries. For extra sweetness, add in honey or agave.
Sangria, zero proof
This one uses citrus slices, fruit slices, fruit juice and sparkling water. Cut lemon, lime, and orange into slices, add to a drink pitcher. Add 1 cup cranberry juice, 1 cup grape juice, 1 cup orange juice, juice of a lime and juice of a lemon to the pitcher of fruit. Top with sparkling mineral water for something not so sweet or add in agave for some extra added sweetness. I’ve also added some ginger beer (which has no alcohol) to the zero proof sangria for some changes in flavor.
And, in celebrating Memorial Day, we recognizing the commitment of members of America's military services. Thank you for your service.
