imitation of something and the word „cocktail‟ meaning a mixed drink. A mock tail, or a Virgin
cocktail, is a beverage which does not contain any intoxicating alcohol. A non alcoholic drink, or
mock tail, is made of one or more kinds of beverages such as fruit juices or mixers. It is usually
shaken or stirred before serving.
Non Alcoholic Tropical Drinks (Mock tails)
Non Alcoholic tropical drinks are made of fruit juices or soft mixers. The name reflects the
exotic perception of “tropical islands” or “tropical fruits”. Smoothies are another kind of non
alcoholic drinks – mock tails or Virgin cocktails. These are cold, thick, smooth drinks usually
consisting of fresh pureed fruit with ice cream or yoghurt or milk based products. Prepared in a
blender the ingredients can also include crushed ice. Various types of Berries, peaches, melons,
orange juice, pineapples, mangos, and kiwi fruits are all popular ingredients in non alcoholic
