Chocolate Covered Strawberries Mocktail Recipe

In my brain, it doesn’t get more decadent than Chocolate Covered Strawberries.   This Chocolate Covered Strawberries Mocktail Recipe tastes just like (and even includes one as a garnishment) chocolate covered strawberries.  Plus, it has zero alcohol!  To me, that is perfect for a Valentine’s Day party for your kids or their classmates.

My kids love for me to experiment with different mocktails for kids.  They get to be taste-testers and give their opinions as we craft and build different recipes.

To spice it up for Valentine’s Day, be sure to add the pretty candy hearts as a garnish.  Wouldn’t this be a fun drink for Valentine’s Day dinner?  You could you the red, white, and pink ones ones or you could use the multi-colored ones that resemble Conversation Hearts I found. 🙂

• Red, Pink, White Heart Sprinkles

Recommended Tools:

• Glasses
• Shaker
• Garnish Picks
• Strainer

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.
