The idea of hosting a dry wedding can be daunting. You want to ensure that your guests still have an enjoyable time with plenty of entertainment. But, we’re here to tell you that your love is worth celebrating, alcohol or not. Whether you’re opting out of serving alcohol on your big day because of venue restrictions, religious preferences, or just personal choice, we’re here to make things a little easier by rounding up some of our favorite wedding mocktail recipes.

Tips for Making Wedding Mocktails

You may find that every time you go to a bar, you try to order a mocktail and it comes out to be just a glass of juice. While this is enjoyable to some, you should still be able to enjoy some signature mocktails on your big day. Although there’s nothing wrong with making drinks out of juices and sparkling waters, if you’re looking to mimic a real co*cktail, consider adding a zero-proof alternative. There are countless brands out there, but some of the most popular include:
