Fun drinks take any party, or special occasion to the next level. If you’re looking to make your next gathering extra special, add this fun frozen mocktail for kids to the menu! Jump to Recipe
There are a lot of fun ways to customize this mocktail to meet your family’s taste preferences, so feel free to play around with the recipe a little! You can serve these frozen mocktails for kids in short glasses (for older kids), or use plastic stemware or even disposable plastic cups.
For a fun party activity, let the kids decorate the outsides of their plastic cups with glitter, markers, and other supplies before serving the mocktails.
Since these mocktails are frozen, you’ll want to serve them immediately. That being said, if you have leftovers you can refrigerate them up to 24 hours and they will still taste good, they just won’t be frozen anymore 😉
The secret to this frozen mocktail for kids is a frozen whole fruit bar called Froozer. You might have seen them in the freezer section at the grocery store.
Froozer is a great tasting frozen snack made with 100% fruit – all the goodness and great taste of perfectly ripened fruits, with no added sugar, juice, or concentrate. Of course, we love that they’re also gluten free and dairy free!
Our family first tried Froozer last Summer when our local store had them on sale. My kids love popsicles during the hot months (who doesn’t???) but I don’t love all the added sugar. Even the “healthier” alternatives are made with juice and/or have juice concentrate – so they’re still loaded with nothing but sugar.
My kids really like Froozer! They’re a fun frozen snack that I can feel good about as a parent, too. I have been wanting to make a fun mocktail for the kids and thought Froozer would be a great start.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this frozen mocktail for kids:
-
A package of Froozer (any flavor will work, but we used the Blue Aloha) Here’s a store locator so you can find it near you
-
Sparkling water + your sweetener of choice (you can even use soda if that’s your thing)
-
Frozen fruit (we used blackberries)
That’s it!
Froozer comes in 4 flavors: Strawbanana Bliss, Tropical Sunset, Blue Aloha, and Orchard Cherry Berry. If you try a different combination of fruit/Froozer flavors, please come back and let us know in the comments! Enjoy!
