Mocktails & More for Saint Paddy's
There are a few essentials when it comes to Saint Patrick’s Day. Green clothes, at least one attempt at an Irish accent, and a fun drink (or a few)! But not all of us can imbibe, special occasion or otherwise, so what other options are there?
Whether you’re sober, expecting, or just want to enjoy a social drink without the alcohol content, we’ve got you covered. Check out this collection of mocktail recipes you can try making at home to join in on the fun (plus, they’re great for parties at any time of year)!

Cucumber Spritz Mocktail
This light and fresh recipe comes from The Mindful Mocktail! It only calls for four ingredients: cucumber juice, non-alcoholic elderflower cordial or syrup, lime juice, and your choice of non-alcoholic sparkling wine or soda water. Add a cucumber ribbon or some edible flowers for a fun garnish, and you’re all set!
Mango Mule
Looking for a fruity option? The mango mule comes to us from Danielle Walker of Against All Grain, via Town & Country. All you’ll need is some honey syrup, mango puree, fresh lime juice, ginger beer, and ice – plus a few cucumber slices to garnish.
Agua Fresca
Here’s a great option for those warmer days. Good Housekeeping brings us best-ever agua fresca, which calls for your choice of fruit puree plus sugar and lime juice. Strained and served over ice, alcohol is completely optional in this refreshing beverage, making it a great non-alcoholic option for any sunny occasion.
Lyre’s Dublin Double Irish Coffee
Let’s finish off with a couple of Irish-inspired options for the occasion. First, we’ve got this Irish coffee, made with Lyre’s American Malt, coffee, maple syrup, and whipped cream. Serve hot with grated orange zest for a fresh start to the morning!
Non-Alcoholic Baileys
And last but not least, another classic that can be enjoyed alone or as a part of a hot or cold beverage. This Irish cream liqueur is made with your choice of milk (non-dairy alternatives are totally acceptable here), cream, espresso, maple syrup, vanilla, and cacao or cocoa. You can add a non-alcoholic whiskey, but it’s completely optional!
