The ocean has always had a mystical allure that has captivated people since the dawn of time. From ancient seafarers to pirates to modern-day beachgoers, its crystal clear, turquoise waters have been a universal backdrop for many stories throughout history. As we embark on prime beach season, many people are beginning to plan their beach getaway, hoping to create memorable moments by the sea. Whether a beach trip is on the horizon or you want to get into the beach vibe, here are some ocean-blue mocktails that’ll help transport you to a seaside oasis. These mocktails are fun to make and contain no alcohol, making them perfect for the entire family. However, you can easily modify them to suit adult tastes with your choice of liqueur or spirits.
Blue Punch Bug Highball Mocktail

Non-alcoholic Color-Change Lemon-Lavender Spritz
This showy drink is a great way to “wow” your guests at the beach with its color-changing recipe. It is a tea mocktail that gets its blue color from the butterfly pea flower tea. However, once you add lemon juice, it turns purple! To make an adult version, add a shot of gin.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces butterfly pea flower tea, chilled
- 1½ ounces lavender-infused simple syrup
- Ice
- 1½ freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Club soda
- Lemon wedge for garnish

Blue Lagoon Mocktail
If you’re looking for a mocktail that’s on the healthier side, look no further than the Blue Lagoon Mocktail. The blue spirulina powder provides this beverage with its vibrant blue color and is packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and protein. If you don’t have blue spirulina powder, you can substitute it with blue food coloring. However, by doing so, the drink will no longer qualify as being “healthy.”
Ingredients
- ⅛ teaspoon blue spirulina powder
- 2 oz coconut water
- 4 oz sparkling lemon soda
- 2 oz club soda or a non-alcoholic vodka alternative
- Ice
- Lemon wedge garnish
- 3 maraschino cherries garnish

Ingredients
- 1 cup blue Hawaiian punch
- ½ cup coconut cream
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 3 cups of ice
