Robin Roberts and Amber Laign are shaking things up ahead of their upcoming nuptials with a live bachelorette celebration complete with two tasty mocktails inspired by their favorite cocktails.

Celebrity chef Carla Hall joined the "Good Morning America" co-anchor and her longtime partner in studio on Wednesday to demonstrate how to make and serve the two non-alcoholic beverages.

Since Roberts loves spicy margaritas and Laign prefers espresso martinis, Hall concocted a zero-proof option of each.
