Delicious Holiday Mocktails

Kristin Taylor
Holiday drinks

A growing trend is choosing to go alcohol free at social events and celebrations with drinks called mocktails. Mocktails are cocktails without alcohol. The growing demand for alcohol-free beverages is driven by younger drinkers who are focusing on a more healthful lifestyle. Everyone can enjoy holiday mocktails, which feature seasonal flavors like apple, cinnamon, sage, and more.

This month’s featured recipe is Pomegranate Ginger Mocktail, a flavorful, festive beverage that gets its fizz from sparkling water and zing from ginger. Other delicious holiday mocktails are the Cranberry-Orange Punch and Apple-Ginger Moscow Mule Mocktail. These drinks are so tasty they are sure to become a regular part of your annual holiday get-together.
