Celebrated among loved ones and entire communities, Easter is the day of respect and appreciation, which is why most people reserve any spirituous imbibement for another time.

Not only are virgin cocktails Easter-friendly, but they can be enjoyed by both children and adults!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Continue below for some Easter friendly mocktail recipes, plus a secret tip on where to go this Easter in Downtown Indianapolis.

Made with carbonated lemon lime soda (or ginger ale) and a splash of grenadine, garnished with a maraschino cherry, and served over ice, this delicious Easter-friendly mocktail is always a hit among both kids and adults. Pregnant women especially appreciate the sweetness of this delightful drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun fact, the drink itself was named after the famous actress, Shirley Temple, but its creator is debated. Typically credited to a 1930\u2019s bartender at Hollywood&#8217;s Chasen&#8217;s Restaurant, there is a hotel in Hawaii that also claims rights to the drink\u2019s origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Roy Rogers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a Shirley Temple mocktail is a little too childish for your taste, upgrade to a Roy Rogers. All you have to do is swap out the carbonated lemon lime soda for regular carbonated cola. Keep the grenadine and maraschino cherry garnish and serve it over ice. Now you have yourself a nonalcoholic classic mocktail known as a Roy Rogers. It tastes like cherry cola!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Virgin Bloody Mary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upgrade that boring and bland tomato juice with Bloody Mary mix and some essential garnishes! Serving virgin Bloody Mary\u2019s on Easter is a fantastic alternative to the traditional, vodka-based drink. Bloody Mary mix is a fantastic option, but you can season it classically with the proper Bloody Mary seasonings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for garnishes, details are important when it comes to mocktails, so be sure to dress up your virgin Bloody Mary\u2019s with lemon wedges\/wheels, celery stalks, queen olives, cornichons, gherkins, pickled radish, garlic cloves, banana peppers, jalape\u00f1os, red chili peppers, grilled shrimp skewers, candied bacon strips, celery salt, salt-and-pepper, dill, salted or seasoned rims, and any other fun garnishes you can think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Virgin Mimosa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody loves orange juice, and even grapefruit juice and pineapple juice! These are all delicious juice bases for mimosas. But for Easter, consider making virgin mimosas by swapping out the champagne for nonalcoholic sparkling apple cider or nonalcoholic sparkling white grape juice! Dress up your mimosas with the selection of garnishes like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, frozen grapes, rosemary sprigs, basil sprigs, and even grenadine! Everybody will appreciate this delicious brunch and lunch staple on your special holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Do you want to know where to go in Indy for the most delicious Easter dinner offering this Sunday?<\/strong> Visit <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.englishivys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">English Ivy\u2019s<\/a> in Downtown Indianapolis for our famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/englishivys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Easter Ham Dinner<\/a>!
