Five baby shower mocktails the guest of honor can actually enjoy: a pink lemonade punch, a color-changing pink-or-blue lemonade, a strawberry mint sparkler, and more. Pregnancy-friendly, with spiked twins for guests.
The guest of honor at a baby shower can’t drink, so the drinks should be built around her. These five baby shower mocktails are pretty, pastel, and pregnancy-friendly: pasteurized juices, caffeine-free tea, and fully 0.0% bubbles. There’s even one that turns from blue to pink. If other guests want a spiked version, each card has a twin one tap away (🍸 Cocktails at the top). Keep those on a separate, clearly labeled table.
The easy centerpiece: lemonade, cranberry, and raspberries, topped with a mix of lemon-lime soda and plain soda so it isn’t too sweet. It’s written for 8; tap Punch bowl · 16 for a bigger shower.
Freeze raspberries and lemon slices into an ice ring. It keeps the punch cold and pink as it melts.

The showstopper. butterfly pea tea brews a deep natural blue, and when lemon juice hits it, it turns bright pink. Serve everyone a blue glass with lemon on the side for a gender-reveal moment, or just for the magic.
It works because butterfly pea flowers are a natural pH indicator, and the tea is caffeine-free.

How the swap works: Butterfly pea tea is caffeine-free. The lemon is what makes the lemonade, so it gets a little more lemon and syrup.

Muddled strawberries and mint, lemon, and a mix of sparkling grape juice and soda. It’s fresh, pink, and not too sweet, with the bubbles that make it feel like a celebration.
For a crowd, muddle the fruit in the bottom of a pitcher and top each glass with the bubbles as you pour.

Mango nectar, coconut water, and lime with a splash of soda. It’s tropical, light, and hydrating, a welcome drink for a summer shower (and for a very pregnant guest of honor).
It’s perfect for a dispenser with a bowl of lime wheels and fun straws alongside.

Serve the toast in one drink, the same glass for everyone, so the mom-to-be is part of it, not the exception.
Label each drink with a small tag, and if you’re offering spiked versions, keep them on their own table in different glasses.

Saving this for your next project?
Pin it, so it's there when you pick up your hook.
Lead with mocktails the mom-to-be can enjoy: a punch for the crowd, one showpiece (like the Pink or Blue Lemonade), and one grown-up sparkler. Offer spiked versions for guests separately if you like.
They're made with pasteurized juices, caffeine-free butterfly pea tea, and fully 0.0% sparkling grape juice, with no kombucha or 'non-alcoholic' wines that can contain up to 0.5% ABV. As always, follow the parent-to-be's own doctor's advice.
Pregnancy mocktails →Butterfly pea tea brews deep blue and turns pink when lemon juice is added. Serve everyone a blue drink with lemon on the side, and pour at the reveal. Pink if it's a girl, or keep it blue for a boy.
About 2 cups per guest for a two-hour shower. The punch card here serves 8; tap Punch bowl · 16 to double it.
Batch drinks for a crowd →It's entirely up to the hosts and the parents-to-be. If you do, keep spiked versions on a separate, clearly labeled table, and make the mocktails the star so the guest of honor isn't left out.
