what should I know about mixing non alcoholic drinks?

Question

Particularly I am interested in knowing whether I should avoid any combinations (what with what?), how does acidity affect mixing, what are the most popular non-alcoholic ingredients for alcoholic coctails... basically, as much info on the subject as possible. Thank you!

Answer 1

Dont mix anything alcoholic. thats all.
Any other consumable drink can be used for a mocktail.
Any way try http://www.healthunit.on.ca/mocktails/recipes.html

Answer 2

First, I would say, know your audience. This applies to whatever kind of audience you're entertaining. Everyone will always have a preference, however when using certain ingredients like fresh limes/lemons they will always bring about the freshes results in cocktails (just as it would for food)

Also, the most important thing you need to know about mixing non-alcohol drinks is to keep things simple. Sweet will embrace tart when done in a balance way. The rules for non-alcoholic cocktails are similar as with cooking. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

I like to mix peach Faygo and orange juice, for a "virgin Fuzzy Naval", but that's probably not what you mean. It is really good,though. Almost as good as the real thing.

Answer 4

Get a "Bartenders book" that how I mix the drinks I make for parties.

Answer 5

You can make any of the cocktails less the alcohol. Like virgin margaritas, daquiries, martinis........etc.
