Specialty Ingredients:
The following ingredients are affiliate links on Amazon because they may be a bit hard to find in your normal store. I wanted you to be able to see exactly which things we are using.
Strawberry Soda – You can use any carbonated strawberry beverage that you prefer, but we like Fanta.
Blue Cream Soda – Frostie Blue Cream Soda is such a beautiful blue color.
Red, white, and blue sugar sprinkles – You can use anything you want, but the sanding sugar has the best coloring for Cat in the Hat.
Reminder, not all ingredients in the Cat in the Hat Mocktail Recipe are linked above, just the ones that may be a bit difficult to find or that you might be unsure of what to look for.
Must Have Resources:
When making Mocktail Recipes at home, you really need to have the following Amazon affiliate tools on hand.
A great (and pretty) mocktail takes a stash of a few fun tools like the ones listed above. So, if you are planning to make cocktails and mocktails when entertaining, it would make sense to create your own little bar box! This way, you are prepared when the unexpected guest drops in.
Make it a Meal:
Main Dish: Make a meal of it and serve up some fun green eggs and ham, too!
Side: A little food coloring can help you turn cauliflower into pretty and pastel Truffula trees!
Don’t forget Dessert: These Cat in the Hat fruit kabobs would be a perfect ending to your Dr. Seuss inspired meal!
Best Mocktail Recipes:
Once you make this recipe, the kids are going to love it so much that they are going to start asking for even more fun mocktails. Don’t fret! I have picked out the best non-alcoholic recipes for you to try. ?

How do I encourage young readers?
There are so many ways that you can make reading fun! Making a fun snack is a great idea, and might be the only reason that they want to read in the beginning! You can then add in some great Dr. Seuss books and other good choices and let their curiosity for reading grow.
If you want kids to read the Grinch, introduce a Grinch smoothie recipe or Grinch rice krispies treats! You can also make fish rice crispy treats to pair with 1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. You can make a blue drink to make it look like fishbowl water!
If you make the main ingredient a part of the story, it’s a fun way to make the Dr. Seuss stories come to life! A healthy way to encourage reading a good book would be to have fruit and marshmallows on a bamboo skewer for Lorax marshmallow pops.
A fun cat-in-the-hat dessert idea would be marshmallows with a strawberry tip! You can also make a fun cat-in-the-hat cupcakes recipe for creativity as well. The hat top can be fruit, meringue, or marshmallows!
