Chinotto is a citrusy, cola-colored Italian soda made from a small sour orange of the same name. Derek Brown likes using the soda in mocktails because it’s both bitter and sweet. The aromatic bitters in the drink are alcohol-based; they can be left out of the drink. Slideshow: More Delicious Soft Drink Recipes
