As soon as the snow melts and warm weather starts peeking, I find myself longing for delicious nonalcoholic drinks to satisfy my thirst. Obviously, water is my go to drink to do so but when I am relaxing on my deck sipping tasty summer drinks, I like indulging in a colorful mocktail recipe. It makes me feel like I am on a beach or far far away from the city. I feel on vacation. Don’t you agree? Sometimes, a nice drink, a relaxing summer chair, and a good book are all that I need to relax. For this upcoming summer season, I tried this delicious mermaid punch mocktail recipe. My daughter went nuts when she saw it. It is totally cute and so easy to make!

This looks amazing! I will most definitely be making this this summer, yum!
This a great idea and it looks fun. I would love this for my kids
Omg these mock tails look so yummy!!! Perfect poolside treat for the kiddos during the summer
This is absolutely a great idea. I bet my kids love this so much
Love this! Perfect for kids and people who don’t drink alcohol! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds like a great drink! I love anything with watermelon juice!!
Brilliant! It looks so refreshing as well, I love that it has a hint of lime and some pineapple juice. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
Those flavors do sound really refreshing. I’d love to sit on the patio and sip on one of these!
I love the idea of creating mocktails for kids. I remember always ordering a Shirley Temple when out with my parents as a kid. It would have been nice to have options.
I am always looking for something new to drink. It seems like all the same beverages get boring. I have a hard time getting all my water in before I venture to flavored drinks but am more than ready for something yummy. Thanks for the new ideas!
Ooh these look delicious! I say it’s great for kids… but leave some aside for the adults, and add a splash of vodka! Cheers 🙂
First of all those are absolutely BEAUTIFUL drinks! I wouldn’t want to drink mine they’re so pretty! Secondly … Welches Watermelon juice? What? I LOVE watermelon juice but have only found it twice in the US. I had no idea Welches makes it. I’m looking it up right now and you can bet it will be on my next grocery list!
That is such a cute idea. My kids will love this.
