Impressive Baby Shower Party Cocktails and Mocktails Recipes

Sweet and celebratory cocktails or mocktails are a perfect addition to any event, birthdays, weddings, house warming parties, and even baby showers.

Sometimes, we can't help but wonder what exactly mocktails and cocktails are, why are there such favored drinks served in the party, and how to tell these the drinks apart.

Cocktails are drinks containing alcohol, they may be mixed or unmixed. Mocktails, on the other hand, are drinks without a drop of alcohol. Mocktails imitate the idea behind a cocktail, the main difference being that mocktails do not contain alcohol.
