19 Non-Alcoholic Drinks To Make On St. Patrick's Day

It’s no secret that St. Patrick’s Day has become synonymous with a long night of drinking and a bad hangover in the morning. But for those who don’t want to drink on the March 17 holiday, the boozy celebrations can feel a bit isolating. Thankfully, there are plenty of on-theme non-alcoholic and mocktail recipes worth trying on St. Patrick’s Day, so you can join in on the fun while staying sober. From spritzers to a Shamrock Shake copycat recipe, there’s a mocktail to fit every St. Patty’s Day mood.

One of the biggest challenges of opting out of alcohol on St. Patrick’s Day is avoiding any drinks with whiskey or Irish cream. Not to mention, it may be hard to find a specific St. Patrick’s Day mocktail that’s as iconic as an Irish whiskey. Knowing this, you’re gonna have to get creative, and that’s where these mocktail recipes from TikTok come in. Some of these drinks fit the theme of the occasion by being bright green in color, while others are just fun mocktails to try. There’s one thing they all share in common, though: their great taste.
