Americans took an interest in mocktails this year — and not your typical Shirley Temples or virgin pina coladas.
According to Google Trends’ Year in Search 2025, which highlights top trending Google searches for the past year, people in the United States have not only been searching for viral recipes, but also for a variety of unusual mocktails such as the “monocane” and “postpartum.”
So what exactly are these mocktails, and how do you make them? Below is a breakdown of what Google considers the top 10 trending mocktails of 2025.
Monocane
Inspired by a fictional invisibility drug from “The Invisible Man,” this glowing green nonalcoholic beverage is served in a beaker at The Burning Blade Tavern and Das Stakehaus at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe. To make this drink, add pineapple, blue raspberry and passion fruit syrups, as well as edible glitter, to lemon-lime soda.
Sunrise
This citrusy drink has all the colors of a sunrise. Layer orange juice, pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine into a glass for a beautiful ombre effect, and top with sparkling water or ginger ale for some fizz, if desired.
Lavender lemon drop
Tart floral notes shine in this nonalcoholic version of a lemon drop. Combine lavender syrup, lemon juice and sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for this refreshing beverage.
Blackberry Bramble
Created in London in the 1980s, a Blackberry Bramble is a gin-based cocktail with blackberries and lemon. To make the mocktail version, muddle blackberries, lemon juice and simple syrup or honey, and top with club soda, sparkling water or ginger ale.
Dirty soda
Dress up a soda like you would iced coffee (add flavored syrups, fruit purees or a splash of cream) and you have a dirty soda. Social media has been ablaze over dirty sodas, with creators filming their experiences trying Swig, a Utah-based drive-thru soda chain, and crafting their own dirty soda creations at home.
One popular combination mixes Diet Coke with coconut syrup, lime juice and half-and-half. Another combines Dr Pepper with cinnamon, coconut syrup and half-and-half.
Caramel apple
For a beverage that gets you into the fall spirit, combine apple cider with caramel sauce and cinnamon. Optionally, add sparkling water or ginger beer for fizz, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Elderflower tonic mimosa
Nothing says brunch like mimosas. While this version doesn’t have Champagne, it’s a bubbly, refreshing beverage featuring elderflower and citrus. To make this drink, mix elderflower syrup and either lemon juice or blood orange juice, and top with tonic or sparkling water.
Hugo Spritz
This classic Italian cocktail is typically made with prosecco, elderflower liqueur, soda water, mint and lime. The nonalcoholic version can be made by substituting the prosecco for sparkling water, and the liqueur for syrup.
Raspberry leaf tea
This caffeine-free tea made from dried red raspberry leaves is known for supporting female reproductive health, easing cramps and aiding in postpartum recovery. While it may sound fruity, it tastes more similar to black tea.
Pour the tea over ice and add pineapple and cranberry juice for a raspberry leaf tea mocktail.
Postpartum
Creators have been posting to social media about “mommy mocktails,” a drink made by mixing juices, sparkling water and garnishes in celebration of a new mom.
