My Ginger Lime Mocktail is made with 4 ingredients total! This drink marries spicy, healing fresh ginger with tart lime to make an incredible drink.
What is a Mocktail?
Ginger Lime Mocktail = Liquid Superfood
This sparkling zesty drink trades alcohol in for a liquid superfood. The ginger is full of anti-oxidants, good for digestion, and is also anti-viral and anti-fungal. The lime juice is packed with vitamin C and bioflavonoids. So instead of taxing your liver, you’re filling yourself up with anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Perfect for Your Healthy Celebrations
I make this easy, healthy mocktail whenever we’re celebrating, but it’s so healthy you can drink it everyday! I love using health boosting ingredients like ginger and lime in my easy paleo recipes!
Paleo Cocktail

This drink sounds wonderful Elana! I wish I had seen it yesterday. It would have been a perfect drink after the BolderBoulder! Was in your area for my niece’s graduation, and it was nice to have summer back today. Enjoy!

Oh, I just happened to buy some sparkling water the other day and some ginger today :) I am def going to try this!
Elana says
Thanks Tressa!
Georgia Pellegrini says
Wow, does this look refreshing! Two of my favorite ingredients in 1 recipe. I’m in Texas where the temperatures seem to be 100 F 24 hours a day, so this is just in time!
Elana says
Georgia, thanks for your comment! I hope you love it as much as we do :-)
Alta says
Ooh, this might be my new fav drink! I love ginger.
Elana says
Thanks Alta!
Brandon says
I am making this! I’ve been making quite a bit of lemonade during these warmer months, but this looks like it will definitely hit the spot when it starts to really heat up here.
Elana says
Thanks Brandon!
Eileen says
OMG! Can’t wait to try these! Sound so refreshing and actually low calorie/low sugar
Elana says
Eileen, it’s the perfect sugar-free mocktail!
Lizzy Q says
Yum! Thanks, Elana, for this – I’m always a little sad that there aren’t more fun drinks out there for the non-alcoholic crowd – mostly (honestly) for the fun glasses & “flair” that accompany all those other beverages. I’m going to dig out my fun glasses and drink a big glass of this – and maybe I’ll use an umbrella, too. Just for the effect!
Elana says
Lizzy, that is a great idea!
Eryn @ Pumpkin's Pantry says
Mmmm ginger and lime together in a drink, what a great combo! I don’t drink alcohol either but I’m definitely a drink girl :) My Microplane, one of my best friends in the kitchen, and I will love making this.
This may be the worlds silliest question, but is there a difference between Sparkling and Carbonated Water? If so, what makes them different. Thanks!
Elana says
Eryn, I think they’re basically the same thing with different sources of bubbles :-)
