Nonalcoholic cocktails have grown up. With the increasing popularity of the sober-curious movement, sometimes also called the damp lifestyle, there's been a resurgence in alcohol-free drink choices and delicious mocktail recipes circulating the internet. Challenges like Dry January and Sober October help people dabble in quitting or at least cutting back on alcohol for periods of time. Even celebrities like Bella Hadid, Katy Perry, and Blake Lively have joined in on the clean drink fun, creating viral mocktail recipes and nonalcoholic mixers.

And why not? Mocktails can be just as delicious and exciting as alcohol-filled drinks and tend to be healthier, too (since they don't contain, you know, alcohol). We've moved way beyond the Shirley Temple (although we're not going to hate on a classic). There are a plethora of alcohol-free choices these days, including premixed versions of bitters, tonics, and beer that's not really beer, all of which make crafting a delicious mocktail recipe way easier — and more fun — than ever.

So whether you're interested in damp living, you want to make sure to have some nonboozy options for your next party, you're pregnant, or you're just looking for a fun drink that won't leave you feeling horrible the next day, these mocktail recipes are all you need. Ranging from complex and tangy to sweet and fruity, grab one of these 30-plus mocktail recipes, then just sit back and relax.
