About Mocktail

A mocktail is a non-alcoholic beverage crafted from a blend of juices, sodas, herbs, and other flavorings. Popular worldwide, it is often used as an alternative to traditional cocktails, allowing people to enjoy the sophistication of mixed drinks without the alcohol. Originating from culinary creativity in the United States during the early 20th century, mocktails have since become a feature of global cuisines, adapting to local ingredients and tastes. Nutritionally, a typical mocktail has approximately 48 calories per serving and contains about 12 grams of carbohydrates primarily from fruit juices or sugar. It is generally low in protein, fat, fiber, and other micronutrients, although its content of vitamin C (4 mg) adds a minor nutritional boost.
