Hey, Reader!

There's nothing to take you from holly jolly to bah humbug like realizing you have nothing special to serve guests that prefer to skip the booze.

While non-alcoholic options used to be limited to soda and water, we're way past that now. Mocktails are fun to drink and still bring the sparkle.

If you'll be hosting this holiday season, here is some menu inspiration:

sparkling pine cranberry mocktail

A festive pine cranberry mocktail is a must make for the holidays. Pine syrup and cranberry juice combine with either ginger beer or ginger ale for a bite of ginger. A refreshing sip for everyone!

ginger beer mocktail

Make the holidays spicy with a ginger beer mocktail. Add a splash of cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, or even rosemary simple syrup to make a festive version! Ready in minutes and always refreshing.

holiday cherry mocktail

Made with simple ingredients, like tart cherry juice and cinnamon syrup, this sparkling cherry mocktail is perfect for the holiday season and a non-alcoholic drink the whole family can enjoy. Make them by the glass or by the pitcher for all of your guests.

non-alcoholic mulled wine

Festive and full of flavor, this non-alcoholic mulled β€œwine” mocktail tastes surprisingly like the real thing. Made with fruit juices and not a drop of wine (or even non-alcoholic wine!), this cozy, warm punch serves a crowd at the holidays and all winter long.

Inclusive holiday hosting never looked better. Cheers!
