So, we have compiled a list of the top mocktails for everyone to enjoy.
It's pumpkin season, so what could be better than sampling the Smoking Pumpkin mocktail, which contains pumpkin puree, lychee nectar, fresh passion fruit, tobacco syrup, coconut milk, and of course, smoke. With a toasted marshmallow on top, this fruity mocktail has the ideal amount of sweetness and a little smoky flavor.

Tomati-NO, LPM
This drink often makes people smile, because its essence seems to belong on a plate, not a glass... Until they try it! Tomato is another must try end of summer fruit. To highlight the varied flavors of sun-ripened tomatoes, it is a mixture of clear tomato juice and cherry tomato shrub. The mocktail is finished off with an aromatic touch of freshly ground pepper, placed directly onto the beverage when served on the table using a theatrical big pepper grinder. It is light, refreshing, and delivered with a statement.
LPM Riyadh, King Fahd Road, Street No. 38, Al Motassem Street, Al Olaya From Sun to Thurs 12.30pm to 3.30pm, 6.30pm to 11pm, Fri & Sat 1pm to 4pm, 6.30pm to 11pm For more information, Visit @lpmriyadh

Calypso, Meraki
The Calypso drink topped with caviar foam for theatrical flair will transport you to the end of summer vacation on a Greek island. Botan Juniper Garden, a complex herbal mixture of thyme, rosemary blooms, and wild juniper berries, is used in this elegant mocktail along with sea salt, wild basil, elderflower, and yuzu. Calypso is fresh, sophisticated and effective at cleansing the palate.

Hinohana, Myazu
Myazu is the place to be if flaming drinks is your thing. Hinohana, which translates to "flower of fire," is a flaming mocktail. It's a tart and elegant beverage with a well-balanced blend of peach soda, lavender syrup, hibiscus tea, and a dash of yuzu juice. There is no better time to combine two ingredients than in the autumn when peaches are in season and lavender is reputed to have a third flush of color.

Gin Mule, Yauatcha
As the days get shorter and cooler ginger begins to go dormant, so hurry up and order your Gin Mule to kiss your summer goodbye. This recipe contains fresh ginger, as the name suggests, and ginger ale, a tart soda that gives the drink its fizz and distinctive taste. The drink's flavor provides a cooling contrast combined with lime juice and syrup. Imagine a very gingery, zingy ginger beer.
