Two AIP-Friendly Summer Mocktails (Or Cocktails!)
What’s more summer than sipping on a delicious cocktail (or AIP mocktail!) by the pool or at the beach? Not much! Whether you’re going to indulge a little with some rum or vodka, or you’d prefer to keep it as a refreshing mocktail, we’ve got you covered. Our executive chef put these recipes together just for you!
Pineapple Mint Mojito

- 3 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
- 1 Tbls. honey
- 5–7 mint leaves (plus a few extra for garnish)
- 4 oz sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
In a cocktail shaker combine rum (if using), pineapple juice, honey, and mint leaves. Use a muddler (or end of a wooden spoon) and smash the mint leaves into the drink. Fill 2 glasses with ice and pour the mixture (while straining to remove mint leaves) into each glass.
Fill the rest of the glass with sparkling water then garnish with some mint leaves.
Cranberry Summer Sparkler
- 1 ½ oz vodka (optional, omit for mocktail)
- 3 oz cranberry juice

Put two blueberries in each ice cube section, fill with filtered water and freeze. In cocktail shaker, combine vodka (if using), cranberry juice and lime juice. Pour over blueberry ice cubes and fill the rest of the glass with club soda and garnish with a lime wedge.
