Mocktails are a wonderful booze-free beverage option to have in your arsenal. Hospitality management instructor at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Nebraska, Lauren Balak developed this recipe for a summer cocktail class when she was pregnant with her daughter, Rose. To make a cocktail, simply add 1 ounce of rum. However, with this flavorful ginger-honey syrup, you might not miss the alcohol at all.

Yields: 1 serving
Ginger-Honey Syrup
170 grams honey
134 grams water
¼ cup peeled and coarsely chopped fresh ginger
Mango Mule Mocktail

1½ oz mango puree
1 oz rum (optional)
