Virgin daiquiris are super easy mocktails to customize. Start with ¾ ounce each of lime juice and a flavored syrup (any flavor you want), then add 2 ounces of either nonalcoholic white rum or white grape juice. Shake with ice and garnish, and you've got your own customized daiquiri mocktail. If you want to pump up the fruit flavors, muddle an ounce or two of any fruit you like with the syrup in the cocktail shaker before you add the remaining ingredients.
