must-try mocktails to start the month 🍹

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hey there, Reader,

Mocktails — cocktails without alcohol — are gaining in popularity, and it's easy to see why! With complex flavors and stunning presentation, you don't even miss the booze.

If you're partaking in Dry January or simply cutting back after the holidays, then these recipes will help get your month off to a strong start.

My cocktail besties and I love these recipes and know you will too:

piña colada mocktail

Insanely delicious, this creamy piña colada mocktail is perfect for sipping when you're skipping the booze. It's non-alcoholic and served over ice, so it's quick to make with no messy clean up.

virgin espresso martini

If the espresso martini is taking over your local bars, don't miss out if you're not drinking booze! Coffee lovers will love this incredible virgin espresso martini. It’s so tasty, it’s hard to believe that there’s no alcohol in it! (And it’s not just coffee in a martini glass, either.)

grapefruit spritzer

A grapefruit spritzer is perfect as a zero-proof drink, especially during winter made with fresh citrus juice. Combined with mint syrup and lime sparkling water, this makes for a great and refreshing drink!

tropical mimosa mocktail

A tropical mimosa mocktail is the tropical twist on the classic mimosa, made non-alcoholic with the addition of the Sprouts Vitamin C Fizzy Orange Packets. It’s bubbly, fruity, and full of bright flavors! You’ll feel like you are sitting on tropical island beach after your first sip.

If you are planning on a booze-free month and need a little extra encouragement, join me for Dry January. I'm sharing tips, tricks and recipes all month long!

Cheers!
