I like it, some people ignore mocktails or dismiss them as "juice with garnish" but they should be just as interesting as any cocktail. I like the thought and creativity put into these mocktails, well done.
Since I haven't been able to find a followup video to this, so I thought I'd recommend a new book out crafted by the team behind Aviary and Alinea (which is regularly considered the top restaurant in the US and a cocktail lounge which is just as creative). It's called "Zero: A New approach to nonalcoholic drinks" and dedicated to nonalcoholic drinks, with I think like 100 recipes or so. (Note: I'm not affiliated with the group in any way beyond having eaten/drank at the restaurant and cocktail lounge so I learned about it on their mailing list) It's got some overlapping technique as used on this channel like a few clarified milk punches (like chai banana, and tomato strawberry). They're a bit involved and involve advanced techniques like on this channel but don't require any expensive specialty equipment (beyond a juicer), and they're ridiculously creative (such as drawing inspiration from Mexican mole, BBQ and Thai green papaya salad and pairs really well with dishes from those cuisines, ones that have flavors that evolve over time). It's probably the only book on nonalcoholic drinks I've seen that has drinks as interesting as the ones in this video. There's a backbar section showing how to create 1:1 substitutions to use for straight up replicating cocktail recipes (not perfect flavor replicas but aimed at capturing what makes each liquor enjoyable to an extent), while also having a framework for designing more original nonalcoholic drinks. Might be tricky to find online, for some reason it isn't on Amazon yet (might be related to publishing during COVID19). I found out about it because I was on the Alinea mailing list to hear about updates, but you can go to www.theaviarybook.com/zero-standard-edition/ (It says preorder but it came in the mail for me a couple weeks ago)
My dad's a chef and a recovering alcoholic, I'm sending him this video asap. I appreciate that you tried something new for the many that can't drink alcohol
This couldn't come at a better time. Currently planning a bachelor party for a friend who doesn't drink and was trying to find good non-alcoholic recipes for his big night!
Did a nice twist on the first mocktail with Orgea in it. Did it like this: 2 cl orgea 2 cl Fresh lime juice 1cl sugar syrup 2cl of ginger beer stir in a collins glass and top with mineral water. Garnish with a Apple leaf (or whatever you can find) This adaptation was great if you just need something smooth and refreshing when working in bar, or dancing your ass off on the dance floor as a guest.
Mocktails are brilliant even if you drink alcohol! You can space out your alcoholic cocktails with non-alcoholic beverages and enjoy your night a little longer without getting wasted. :P
I've been wondering if you do your VO live or in post for a while, I assumed it had to be done in post but now I've got it confirmed! Great video here as always man!
PJ Vis just add Thyme-Oregano brew if they still wanna get tippsy 😂😂. But it does work though . Add half a cup of each herb to 2 cups of water for a good brew. Only a little is needed for a good punch.
I occasionally work as a bartender, and the way I was taught to pronounce "orgeat" is "or-zhay." This made it easy for me to remember what it looks like because, well...
As someone who can't drink more than one alcoholic beverage a day because of medicine I really appreciate the mocktails! I'd love to see more! Love your content!
I've always found the idea of cocktails and alcohol interesting and so I've always watched and looked at books and recipes even though I can't drink (I'm 16), so I'm excited to try these recipes. Thanks!
Loved this, thank you! Mocktails are great for making sure the designated driver still gets to have fun and refreshment. I'll be sure to remember these!
This is awesome! I love having non alcoholic options so people can pace themselves at a party while still getting to always have a drink in hand. Wonderful idea!
I RARELY ever drink and when I do I never drink alot. This is an amazing video and I thank you for it!! I love your videos and the drinks always look fantastic but without alcohol it's hard to recreate them. I might start to drink a bit more and slowly begin trying the alcoholic ones.
Just wanted to say that we tried recipe 2 and 3 and the cucumber oregano sour was actually FANTASTIC. Really loved it and made it again. Didn’t have agave nectar so used maple syrup and it was still really great! The salt and oregano give that savoury hit and the aftertaste of salt/cucumber and oregano lingering was really special! More of these!
I'd love to see more of these. Every event has someone that doesn't want to drink or that should slow down a bit and these don't spoil the fun. Low alcohol cocktails (1oz or less spirit) would be great.
I couldn't stop laughing during the first one: "orgia" is the Italian for "orgy" and it has the same identical pronunciation. Also, nut milk. (yes I'm childish, but it was hilarious) (love your videos and appreciated this alcohol-free special)
These moctails look and sound delish! Will be trying them soon. Just made the agave ginger syrup for those fabulous sounding Moscow Mules I'll be making Thursday! My friends and I have "Therapy Thursday!"
Thank you! I’m a Muslim and I love interesting, infused and creative, artistic drinks. I truly believe effort can be put into non alcoholic drinks and be some cool James Bond guy!!
Just a recipe I use, a virgin swizzle Get a rocks glass Squeeze half a lime into the glass. Add ice Fill up with ginger beer to just below the ice level. Add flarnum syrup to taste.
Im glad you made those Mocktails. Since I turned 18 I fell in love with Long Drinks and Cocktails, but some Mocktails from time to time, especially in the summer when its sometimes just to hot to enjoy alkohol, those should be a great alternative.
Please make more of these! I just made the Orgeat Lemonadr and it tasted wonderful. Please more of these drinks that use actual cocktial making techniques
ooh blackberries are my favorite. I don't drink alcohol so this would be really nice for me and my other friends who don't drink to have if we want something different!
So many ways to make a great non alcoholic drink. Using fresh fruit and herbs like watermelon and basil together, and you've got a sip so refreshing you won't even care that there's no alcohol in it! 😋
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been wanting to learn how to make good mocktails, and this is perfect!!! Please, at some point, can you make more mocktails? We tea totallers can't drink one-note drinks forever!
My partner is lactose intolerant and takes pills that prevent them from having alcohol. This was a godsend, thank you. I won't feel bad when I have a nightcap now
Great recipes, thanks! It would be great to have more mocktail episodes :) By the way, the smoked blackberry can be turned into a delicious Cocktail by adding 2 ounces of vodka ;)
I like it, some people ignore mocktails or dismiss them as "juice with garnish" but they should be just as interesting as any cocktail. I like the thought and creativity put into these mocktails, well done.
More of this Mocktail series please!!!! Its summer here, and would love a thirst quencher for the hot day.

But what if your dad watches all the other videos afterwards?
How's your dad doing?
DanVR Are you deaf? His dad is a boomer == cannot use RUclips.
quite a great idea. i have some friends that simply don't drink alcohol, and this is a great way to please them :D
Glad to hear it!
Same here.Only problem is that they tend to down the drinks as soon as they get them since there is no alcohol lol
Cocktail Chemistry nutmilk lol
so is a moscow mule
You're a good friend.
This couldn't come at a better time. Currently planning a bachelor party for a friend who doesn't drink and was trying to find good non-alcoholic recipes for his big night!

I used these recipes in an open drybar at my high-school prom this weekend and every one loved them thank you.

Thanks Greg!

Both you guys got me wanting to learn more about bartending and getting a home bar
hehe, he said nut milk
hehehehe
Matt G I'd love to have some nut milk.
(also the immature humour here is funny as hell hahaha)
Hehe
Thats funny
You missed the opportunity of saying nut juice...
Now I don't have to worry about the minors in my family at parties anymore. Thanks mate.
PJ Vis just add Thyme-Oregano brew if they still wanna get tippsy 😂😂. But it does work though . Add half a cup of each herb to 2 cups of water for a good brew. Only a little is needed for a good punch.
As a guy who can't drink due to a condition, these are awesome! Thank you so much!
I’m a sober bartender and I always wanted to drink some cocktails so thank you for this
mocktail memestry
"Memestry" sounds like someone who makes memes, I dig it
mimicry*
Joshua Griffin memestry*
"mocktails with extra dankness"
REEEEEEEEE
thank you very much! as a mutliple medications user who cant drink alcohol this is a very nice thing to see
I occasionally work as a bartender, and the way I was taught to pronounce "orgeat" is "or-zhay." This made it easy for me to remember what it looks like because, well...
i dont even make cocktails but I just enjoy videos like these.
As someone who can't drink more than one alcoholic beverage a day because of medicine I really appreciate the mocktails! I'd love to see more! Love your content!
as a 12 year old kid with dreams of being a bartender, this made my day
I've always found the idea of cocktails and alcohol interesting and so I've always watched and looked at books and recipes even though I can't drink (I'm 16), so I'm excited to try these recipes. Thanks!

This is awesome! I love having non alcoholic options so people can pace themselves at a party while still getting to always have a drink in hand. Wonderful idea!
Every so often I'll go a couple weeks without drinking. Part cleanse, part sanity check. This is a fantastic help.
I RARELY ever drink and when I do I never drink alot. This is an amazing video and I thank you for it!! I love your videos and the drinks always look fantastic but without alcohol it's hard to recreate them. I might start to drink a bit more and slowly begin trying the alcoholic ones.

My little sister's always been interested in cocktail making but is too young get into it, this is an awesome alternative. Great video
I'm a bartender in Australia and my weak point for sure is mocktails! Thanks a heap for posting this
Thanks man. I'm going to make these to my girl, she doesn't drink, so your mocktails are great.
My sister is determined to not drink Alcohol. These are really cool alternatives for her! Love the video!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Something a little extra that isn't just replacing alcohol for sparkling water.
These are so fancy and look amazing! Im pregnant and every now and then wish I could indulge in a drink, definitely going to try these!
I appreciate that you're using weight measurements that make sense
I'd love to see more of these. Every event has someone that doesn't want to drink or that should slow down a bit and these don't spoil the fun. Low alcohol cocktails (1oz or less spirit) would be great.
I couldn't stop laughing during the first one: "orgia" is the Italian for "orgy" and it has the same identical pronunciation. Also, nut milk.
(yes I'm childish, but it was hilarious)

These moctails look and sound delish! Will be trying them soon. Just made the agave ginger syrup for those fabulous sounding Moscow Mules I'll be making Thursday! My friends and I have "Therapy Thursday!"
I think I will make Orgeat alone just because of how great it looks as a possible desert sauce or glaze.
It's basically drinkable marzipan, so that's not a bad idea
I'm glad that you also have non alcoholic cocktails. I'm interested ether way, I'm certainly going to try this one out.
Amazing! I'm too young to drink alcohol, but I love making drinks, so this is the perfect video for me. Keep the good work up!
That second looks amazing! I'm going to offer these to the DD's tonight when I work and credit you with the ideas!
Let me know how it goes!
this is really great, i can't drink for at least a few weeks so i will definitely give these a try. perfect timing!
Thank you for the great drinks! I don't drink alcohol but always wanted to try some of your cocktails so this was great!
Thank you! I’m a Muslim and I love interesting, infused and creative, artistic drinks. I truly believe effort can be put into non alcoholic drinks and be some cool James Bond guy!!
I NEED more of these mocktail recipes, I’m under legal drinking age, but want to make cocktails, because it looks like fun and is kinda cool.
Just a recipe I use, a virgin swizzle
Get a rocks glass
Squeeze half a lime into the glass.
Add ice
Fill up with ginger beer to just below the ice level.
Add flarnum syrup to taste.
Im glad you made those Mocktails.
Since I turned 18 I fell in love with Long Drinks and Cocktails, but some Mocktails from time to time, especially in the summer when its sometimes just to hot to enjoy alkohol, those should be a great alternative.
Love the Mocktail idea! Had to find some for my wife when she was pregnant!
Always a good idea to have some mocktail recipes in your back pocket! Cheers! 👍
Please make more of these! I just made the Orgeat Lemonadr and it tasted wonderful. Please more of these drinks that use actual cocktial making techniques
Thanks dude for your mocktail video it's tricky for us to replace the alcohol
Cheers mate. My friend can't drink alcohol for medical reasons, now she won't feel left out, I can make her a drink too
More mocktails would be greatly appreciated since I don't drink alcohol, like ever.

"Smoking rosemary" Not since my weedman ran out of oregano, brother.
thank you for doing this! non drinkers never get anything goos
I'll be turning 20 soon so this is a great video
This feels like an alternate world binging with babish
3:58 what type of bottle is that is it like pressurized bottle are something
Sweet, now i can drink! Legally!
I love this video!
Great recipes, thanks! It would be great to have more mocktail episodes :) By the way, the smoked blackberry can be turned into a delicious Cocktail by adding 2 ounces of vodka ;)
Great video!
One time I mixed Mountain Dew with grenadine, it was pretty good
This is the Binging with Babish of the cocktail world
I can totally prank my friends with these! I'm only 20 and my friends will freak out if they think I'm drinking haha yes
Great video, Cocktail Chemistry! They all sound tasty; any recommendations of liquor to turn these mocktails back to regular cocktails?
This looks way too tasty, now i need a drink, thanks...
I would absolutely say that right now, mocktails are a subset of cocktails. So no worries
