8 Alcohol Free Mocktail Ideas For Your Diwali Party

Diwali is the time of the year when all our friends and relatives come together to celebrate the festival of lights. Being a Diwali party host is quite a task because you have to create a menu that is liked by everyone and meets the party standards. Since Diwali has religious significance, it is not appropriate to drink alcohol or eat non-vegetarian food on the day. But there are a lot of other ways you can elevate your Diwali party menu. Here are some top non-alcoholic drink ideas for your Diwali party.

1. Pineapple and tamarind cooler

This is a non-alcoholic drink that is tangy and sweet. It also gives a punch of heat because of ingredients like habanero powder and salt. You can use the easily available tamarind pulp to make it more citrusy and puree pineapple to make it sweeter. Your tart syrup will help you in balancing all the tropical flavours of pineapple and tamarind. Make sure that the drink is served with plenty of crushed ice because that is the right way to drink it. It is extremely refreshing and is a perfect fit for your Diwali evening party. 

2. Green Refresher

This is a mixture of green tea, apple juice and some soda. It is a revamped version of regular iced tea or apple juice. The green refresher is a perfect combination of earthy notes of green tea and freshness of apple juice. The apple juice is already very sweet. So you don't have to add any extra sweetness to the mixture. Make sure that you add chilled soda to the drink to make it refreshing. All the flavours used in the drink perfectly complement each other.

3. Coffee cooler

There are a lot of people who love drinking espresso martini. But since it's Diwali you will have to eliminate the booze out of it. Instead of using alcohol, you can simply add some orange juice that is freshly squeezed at home. You can add some orange zest for the extra cake in your martini. Serve it with a lot of ice and make sure that you blend both the coffee and the orange juice well.

4. Mango Mule

Mango mule is made from cucumber, honey, syrup, mango purée, fresh, lime juice, and ginger beer. All you have to do is keep the cucumber slices in honey syrup at the bottom of the cocktail shaker. Now add the mango purée and lime juice along with ice to the shaker. Shake it vigorously and strain the liquid into a glass. Top the mixture with some ginger beer and stir it well.

5. Virgin Paloma

Virgin Paloma is like a virgin mojito, but better. The recipe requires you to use some lime juice, grapefruit juice, honey, and a pinch of sea salt. This simple recipe requires you to combine all these ingredients with a lot of ice and shake it in a cocktail shaker. You can serve it with your Diwali snacks, and it can work as an appetising drink for everyone.
