How to Make a Simple (or Sophisticated) Kratom Mocktail at Home
You don’t need a mixology degree or a shelf full of bitters to make a great mocktail. With a little creativity—and a bottle of Antidote Extract—you can craft everything from a 10-second refresher to a full-on shaken botanical beverage right at home.
Whether you’re keeping it simple or going full bar-cart mode, here are three easy levels of mocktail-making anyone can master.
1. The 10-Second Classic: Just Add Lemonade
The easiest way to enjoy Antidote? Mix it with a good lemonade.
Pour one teaspoon(5ml) of our kratom extract into a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade, stir gently, and enjoy. The citrus helps mellow out the bitterness, and the flavor is familiar, bright, and refreshing.
You can use store-bought lemonade or squeeze your own lemons for a fresh twist. Either way, this is the ultimate no-fuss botanical drink.
2. The “Just a Little Fancy” Two-Ingredient Trick
If you want to step it up without breaking out tools, try a two- or three-ingredient blend.
Some of our favorites:
-
Lemonade + Iced Green Tea
-
Pineapple Juice + Coconut Water
-
Ginger Beer + Lime Juice
-
Sparkling Water + Cranberry + Orange Zest
Pour over ice, stir in a teaspoon(5ml) of Antidote extract, and sip slow.
Pro tip: Fresh herbs like mint, basil, or rosemary aren’t just for garnish—they can totally change the mood of your mocktail.
3. The Craft Mocktail: Shaken, Stirred, and Garnished
Ready to go full mixologist?
Break out your cocktail shaker, a citrus juicer, and a handful of fresh garnishes. Here’s a starter recipe to play with:
Citrus Lion
Ingredients:
-
1 teaspoon (5ml) Antidote Extract
-
2 oz fresh lemon juice
-
2 oz sparkling water
-
1 oz honey or agave
-
Pinch of sea salt
-
Optional: dash of cayenne or muddled mint
Shake everything (except sparkling water) with ice. Strain into a glass over fresh ice, top with bubbles, and garnish with a lemon twist or fresh herb.
The Takeaway
Mocktails don’t have to be complicated—but they can be. Whether you’re winding down after work or elevating your social ritual, Antidote plays well with citrus, teas, herbs, and anything that makes you feel good in a glass.
Grab your favorite mixer, pour a shot of extract, and create something that feels like you.
