You won't miss the liquor when sipping this tequila mocktail

You don't have to be drinking alcohol to have a good time this summer. Give this virgin lime-and-pineapple cocktail a try!

MOLINE, Ill. — Good Morning Quad Cities at 11 a.m.'s Cocktail of the Week segment usually features a boozy beverage, but this week, we're switching it up with a mocktail.
