Mocktail Recipes with Sprite: Also Called Fizzy Drinks!
I love to make Mocktail Recipes with Sprite! At social gatherings sometimes I don;t feel like drinking an alcoholic beverage but I still want a mocktail! I feel extra cozy with a fun beverage in hand for any season.
Mocktails like those made with Sprite or club soda are my favorite for summer parties in a tall glass or mason jar. I love the effervescence of the sparkling water and the tartness of the citrus in Sprite but sometimes to cut back on the sugar I’ll make these drinks with club soda instead.
You can make this plain, with blueberry, or strawberry flavors. With just a few simple ingredients you have yourself a gourmet booze-free beverage.
Why I Love Making This Recipe
I love providing alternatives to alcohol at social gatherings. The more and more I look into this world of mocktail making the more fascinated and knowledgeable I become!
Plus, mocktails are not just for a special occasion, they can be enjoyed with the whole family at any time.
Get creative with simple syrup, your favorite sodas, the serving glass, and even fun umbrellas.
Did you know Mocktail Bars are opening up in major cities all over the United States like Portland, New York City, and Houston? Just the other day a friend was telling me about some new mocktail bars in the Denver area. Many restaurants also offer local kombucha as another beverage option. You can even find non-alcoholic spirits such as Wilderton Botanical Non-Alcoholic Spirits!
The Ingredients For Mocktail Recipes with Sprite
This is just 2 ingredients, that’s it!
- 2oz lemon or lime juice
- 6-8oz Sprite or soda water, club soda, seltzer, or mineral water.
- Ice Cubes
Serve over ice and you have your new favorite drink. After you master that, the possibilities are endless.
Option to garnish with lemon or lime wedges, fresh mint leaves, or fresh fruit.
Step By Step Instructions For Mocktail Recipes with Sprite
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
- Fill a glass with ice cubes.
Step 2: Add Citrus Juice
- Pour the 2 oz of fresh lemon or lime juice into the glass.
Step 3: Add the Fizz
- Pour in 6 to 8 ounces of Sprite or your choice of soda water, club soda, seltzer, or mineral water.

The Variations
Here are two more booze-free drinks you can create with citrus juice and your Sprite base.
A Fizzy Strawberry Mocktail: the easier of the two to create. Just get yourself a bottle of Evolutions Vital Berry or any other 100% cold pressed juice make sure the main flavor note is strawberry. The Vital Berry has apple, strawberry, raspberry, orange, mango, and acerola fruits. Replace 1oz of lemon juice with 1oz of Evolutions Vital Berry juice.
Acerola is similar to cherry and is native to Central America, northern South America, and the Caribbean.
A Fizzy Blueberry Mocktail: To make this Sour Fizzy variation first, you must make the blueberry juice. This is a mix between syrup and juice. I blend the blueberries then cook them down and add a touch of sugar and lemon. Then Strain the liquid and let it chill. Then mix 1 oz lemon or lime juice, 1 oz blueberry juice, and 6-8oz of Sprite or Club Soda. Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes and lemon or lime slices.
I like to use fruit juices to make even more awesome recipes. From pineapple juice to fresh orange juice to cranberry juice for a cranberry sprite virgin cocktail. Feel free to get creative with the different combinations. You could even throw in some grenadine syrup!
Fun fact: A Shirly temple is grenadine syrup and Sprite!
Mocktail Recipes are Hydrating!
No matter the time of the year, a fun mocktail is a fun drink to enjoy in your backyard, and they are hydrating!
Swap the Sprite for Soda Water, Club Soda Seltzer, or Mineral Water to make your delicious drinks even more hydrating!
Hydration is so important and here are several reasons to stay adequately hydrated.
