Cocktail without alcohol
In Spain, as in other countries around the world, it is common to celebrate any meeting or party while consuming alcohol.

In this sense, below we will find some non-alcoholic cocktail recipes for everyone to enjoy a party.
There are more and more people who decide to bet on a healthy life, taking care of what they eat and eliminating harmful vices such as tobacco or alcohol from their lives, either by their own decision or for medical reasons. In this sense, offering healthy alternatives such as non-alcoholic wine is becoming increasingly necessary.
To help all those who prefer healthy drinks, below we share a series of recipes for cocktails and mixed drinks, so that everyone can enjoy these tasty non-alcoholic drinks.
Before starting, it should be noted that many of these cocktail recipes contain a large amount of sugar or very sweet ingredients that are not the healthiest either. Having said that, let’s go with our selection of non-alcoholic mixed drinks, ideal for abstainers.
