1. Easy Chocolate

Combine milk, condensed milk and cocoa, and blend. Plus, the optional espresso shot is amazing. I love the decadence of this recipe. It’s like dessert in a glass!

2. Mimosa

This classic sip takes just seconds to make and never disappoints. One of my top go-tos when entertaining, it’s made with orange juice and alcohol-free sparkling wine or sparkling water.

3. Blue Hawaii

A stunning blue hue, dramatic garnish and light, creamy texture makes the virgin Blue Hawaii an absolute showstopper. Blue curaçao syrup gives the drink its iconic color, while pineapple, lime and coconut round out these tropical flavors—ideal for warm-weather sipping.

4. Cucumber Spritz

Crisp, fresh and sweet, this easy cucumber drink includes lime and elderflower and is finished with a splash of soda water or dry, nonalcoholic sparkling wine. With no shaker required, this quick recipe can easily be scaled up and served as a batch mocktail when entertaining guests.

5. Watermelon

Naturally low in sugar, watermelon is deliciously sweet. This mocktail recipe balances juicy melon, fresh mint and tangy lime. For a lovely bite, it is finished with apple cider vinegar and your choice of sparkling water or kombucha. —As told to Leslie Quander Wooldridge
