Mock cocktails are good options for all those who want to safely enjoy the party after the heart breaking news of raised drinking age from 21 to 25. So if you are in party mood and want to booze check out these mock tails.
The Pussyfoot 
The Pussyfoot is an interesting fruit mocktail that takes on the feel of many of the fizz cocktail like the Gin Fizz or Ramos Fizz. In this non-alcoholic drink you're going to combine orange, lemon and lime, shake it up with an egg and top with soda. Combine 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 6 Tbsp orange juice, powdered sugar and 1 egg yolk in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled Collins glass. Top off with the sparkling water. Stir gently. Garnish with the orange slice.
Berry Sweetheart

Stir the ingredients with a bar spoon. Pour the contents of the mixing glass into the highball glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
