Hey, Reader!
If you’re doing Sober October, you’re past the halfway mark. Congrats! If you’re not, there’s still plenty of month left to dip a toe in, and no one’s keeping score.
Or you can bookmark this email for Dry January (check the P.S. below if you're already thinking about it...)
Either way, I’ve rounded up some of my most popular non-alcoholic drinks. Mocktails should feel like a treat rather than a consolation prize. Full of flavor, homemade syrups and fresh ingredients, these are the drinks worth making between now and Halloween.
Want to give your favorite cocktail recipes a zero-proof twist? One of my homemade zero-proof spirits will make it easy.
Here are the most popular mocktails for fall that may just become your new favorites:
homemade ginger ale
Homemade ginger ale is more flavorful and spicy than its store-bought counterpart, making it delightful to sip on its own or as a great base for a more complex drink.
apple cider mocktail
This mocktail has spent weeks as the follower favorite! It's seasonal, elegant and easy to make — a total triple threat. Plus, it tastes like apple pie in a cup!
ginger beer mocktail
If you want something that feels as special as any cocktail, this one is it. With bold flavors of fresh orange, lemon, and lime juice paired with the warmth of ginger beer and a hint of orange bitters, you won't even miss the alcohol.
sunrise mocktail
Layered colors make this a drink that brightens any occasion! It's packed with tangy, sweet flavors and doesn't require any special tools or skills.
old-fashioned mocktail
This old-fashioned mocktail still has the woodsy, oaky undertones of bourbon, plus orange and spices from the faux whiskey and bitters, resulting in a spiced ice tea that's so tasty!
