Just because you gave up alcohol for Lent doesn't mean you're stuck with water! There are so many non-alcoholic drinks that pair well with an Easter brunch menu, including creative mocktails, fruit smoothies, and refreshing lemonades.
Ahead, you'll find delightful seasonal drinks like dry watermelon margaritas, lavender lemonade, and a fizzy peach spritzer bursting with flavors of lemon and ginger. If you're looking for a drink that everyone can enjoy, try making Ree Drummond's bowl of cherry punch or mulled pomegranate-cherry juice. Shirley Temples are always a big hit with the kids! We've even included some healthy smoothies and veggie-based drinks like carrot juice that make a welcomed addition to any spring menu. If you want something as sweet as your favorite Easter treat, indulge in something like an iced coffee ice cream float. (It's a socially acceptable way to eat dessert for breakfast, thanks to the drink's caffeinated base!) And speaking of frozen drinks, there's also a frozen lemonade on this list, which is sure to keep you cool during the first warm days of the season.
No matter which Easter mocktail you choose, you're sure to get that same blissful feeling of sitting on the porch, drink in hand, watching everyone hunt for Easter eggs.

This fruit-filled smoothie will add a needed touch of healthiness to any Easter brunch. Ree recommends using any purple or red ingredients you have on hand, like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and even purple cabbage.
