Create mocktail recipes

Get unique mocktail ideas and make non-alcoholic versions of your favorite drinks with generative AI. For example, if you love Moscow Mules, simply tell AI, “Create a recipe for a virgin Moscow Mule.” Need a summery virgin drink to satisfy your sweet tooth? Ask AI, “Could you recommend summer mocktail recipes for enjoying poolside?”

Modify existing recipes

Following a diet? Looking for low-calorie or keto-friendly mocktails? If you already have a favorite mocktail recipe, modify it to meet your dietary restrictions with AI. Provide AI with your recipe and tell it what you want to change, like in this prompt: “Modify this virgin mint julep recipe to make it keto-friendly.”

Get savvy based on what’s in your kitchen

If you want to be resourceful with the ingredients you have at home, brainstorm mocktail ideas based on what’s available with AI. Let’s say you have limes, sparkling water, coconut milk, and pineapple syrup. Tell AI to “Suggest mocktail ideas using these ingredients,” and it lists several recipes along with directions and garnish options. Make these recipes even better by asking AI for any missing ingredients to tie everything together.

Make a grocery list (so nothing is forgotten)

Of course, you don’t want to miss any important ingredients that could affect the quality of your mocktails. Once you have your recipes, input them into your AI chat and ask for a comprehensive grocery list with everything you need, including the right portion sizes. Keep this list handy on your phone, or throw it in a Word document for a digital or physical copy.

Find glassware

For new mocktail mixologists, choosing the right glassware for specific mocktails is still as vital as it is for cocktails. It adds visual appeal, controls portion sizes, and regulates the temperature and other aspects of a drink. For example, if you’re making a bubbly mocktail, like a virgin mimosa, use a champagne flute to preserve the bubbles. However, knowing which glassware to choose may be difficult to remember—especially if you’re new. Be on point with your mixologist skills by asking AI which glassware suits the mocktail you’re creating. A good example prompt is: “I want to prepare a virgin Mojito. Which glassware should I use?”

When you’ve determined which glassware to use, shop online and find the best deals by searching with generative AI. Looking for high-ball glasses on a budget? Ask AI to “Find affordable highball glasses online.” It pulls different links to pages on the internet where you can purchase your highball glasses.

Making mocktails is one of many fun ways to bring AI into the kitchen. From preparing dinner to baking sweet treats, get other tips and tricks for incorporating AI into your culinary lifestyle.
