cóctel sin alcohol; coctel sin alcohol; móctel; moctel; coctel virgen: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que tanto la expresión "cóctel (o "coctel) sin alcohol" como el término "móctel" (o "moctel") son alternativas válidas a la voz inglesa "mocktail". [...] Este tipo de bebida se ha conocido habitualmente como "cóctel sin alcohol", que expresa claramente en qué consiste, o "coctel virgen". [...] Asimismo, igual que el plural de "cóctel" es "cócteles" y de "coctel" es "cocteles", los correspondientes plurales de estas nuevas voces son "mócteles" y "mocteles". 1, record 1, Spanish, - c%C3%B3ctel%20sin%20alcohol
