5 Tasty Asian-Inspired Mocktails
As much as we love a Diet Coke, cup of juice or good ol' bottle of water, sometimes we need something with more pizzazz. One of the most satisfying for our taste buds is nothing other than a mocktail.
These drinks have much more complex flavors, and for extra flavor and creativity, consider using Asian cuisine to inspire your next mocktail. Below, discover our favorite mocktail recipes using the colors of India, Japan and more.
Aam Panna Mocktail by A Li'l Bit of Spice
India has one of the most underrated cuisines, but we're glad it has received its flowers over the past few years. Beyond the viral nature of the garlic naan and butter chicken combo, there are even more great flavors, like this Aam Panna Mocktail. This mango-driven drink also has savory notes, combining cumin and black salt. It's spicy, sweet and sure to refresh your body in any season.

Green Tea Yuzu Sour Mocktail by Sip and Sanity
More people need to know yuzu. This tart fruit is like a more herbal form of a lemon, and it pairs perfectly with the earthy tones of tea. Unsurprisingly, the combination makes Sip and Sanity's Green Tea Yuzu Sour Mocktail extra delicious. Don't forget your mint on top to brighten its taste even further.
