Are you a pregnant bride? In the recovery community? Having a dry wedding? Or maybe you're just wanting to give your non-drinking guests some amazing concoctions. We've talked about delicious mocktails and non-boozy drinks before, but we knew there were more drool-worthy recipes out there to inspire your DIY bar, signature drinks, unity cocktail, or to suggest to your bar service. Let's talk recipes for the best non-alcoholic cocktails for weddings.

This Dark Invader mocktail is destined to become an Offbeat Bride favorite for the Vader reference alone.

Combine 9 of the blackberries, the juice and syrup in a cocktail shaker; muddle well. Add the ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain into a cocktail (martini) glass. Garnish with the remaining 2 blackberries (one on each side of the rim, like alien ears).

NOTE: To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a slow, rolling boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a glass container and let cool to room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate until chilled through; store indefinitely.

I like this cran-apple cider mocktail for a winter wedding, especially if you add in some mulling spices and heat it up.

Ingredients:
Cinnamon sugar
1 part cranberry juice
1 part apple cider

Rim glass with cinnamon sugar. Combine equal parts cranberry juice and apple cider. Garnish with a rock-candy swizzle stick.

Ingredients:
1 cup freshly pressed Asian pear juice (or regular pear juice)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cups honey
1/4 cup sugar
1 (4-inch) sprig fresh rosemary
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into coins
Small grating of fresh nutmeg
Ice
Soda water

Combine pear juice, lemon juice, honey, sugar, rosemary, ginger, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for five minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugars.

Remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids. Let syrup cool completely.

To serve, fill an eight-ounce glass halfway with ice cubes, add three tablespoons of syrup, fill with soda water, and stir.

1 part Grenadine
3 parts Coke or Pepsi
1 Maraschino cherry, for garnish

Pour the ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice. Stir well and garnish with the maraschino cherry.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice, from about 9 lemons
1 3/4 cups sugar
8 cups coconut water
4 cups water
1/2 recipe Lavender Simple Syrup ( see here for the recipe)

Place lemon juice, sugar, coconut water, and water into a pitcher and shake or stir vigorously until all the sugar is dissolved. Pour 1/2 of the lavender syrup into the pitcher and stir.

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 cup water
¼ cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup lime juice
1 medium English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups sparkling water, chilled

Combine the sugar, lime zest, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint leaves. Let sit for 30 minutes.

Strain the lime syrup through a fine mesh sieve. Combine the syrup with the lime juice and cucumber. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. When ready to serve, add in the sparkling water. Serve over ice.

You can't go wrong with a classic.

8 parts ginger ale
Maraschino cherries

Rim glass with pink Pop Rocks. Add 4 tablespoons grenadine syrup to 16 ounces ginger ale. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

In a small pitcher, mix frozen lemonade concentrate and three cups of water.
For ice-cubes sprinkle raspberries into an ice cube tray and then slowly pour the raspberry lemonade mix over them. Set the remaining drink mix aside until later.

When ready to serve, add ice cubes to each glass and pour about one tablespoon of the raspberry lemonade in the bottom of each glass. Top off the glass with sparkling grape juice.

Ingredients:
Ice
1 Lime
Torani Sugar Free Coconut Syrup
Dr. Pepper or Diet Dr. Pepper

Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
