Being alcohol free is a superpower, and if you’re sober, these drink ideas are for you! They are also for any hosts or hostesses looking to provide those free selections for their non- drinking guests. Indulge and enjoy, without the chaser of regret and shame. Cheers!

  1. Cranberry Sparkler: Refreshing and tangy, perfect for toasting. It’s a beautiful festive color too.
  2. Hot Apple Cider: Warm and comforting, ideal for chilly evenings. The spices bring a cozy holiday aroma.
  3. Peppermint Hot Chocolate: Decadently rich and soothing, with a refreshing peppermint twist that’s especially delightful during the holidays.
  4. Gingerbread Latte: Captures the essence of holiday flavors, combining the warmth of coffee with the sweet-spicy flavor of gingerbread.
  5. Spiced Pomegranate Spritz: Antioxidant-rich and visually stunning, it’s a health-conscious and elegant choice for any festive gathering.
  6. Non-Alcoholic Eggnog: Creamy and traditional, it offers the classic holiday flavor without the alcohol.
  7. Pumpkin Spice Smoothie: Nutritious and satisfying, it’s like a slice of pumpkin pie in a glass.
  8. Honey-Lemon Ginger Tea: Soothing and healing, perfect for a cold day or when feeling under the weather.
  9. Virgin Mojito: Refreshingly zesty and minty, it’s a classic cocktail turned into a non-alcoholic delight.
  10. Chai Latte: Spicy and sweet, a comforting beverage that’s like a warm hug in a cup.
  11. Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade: Sweet, tart, and fizzy, it’s both visually appealing and deliciously refreshing.
  12. Virgin Mary: A savory option that’s rich in flavor, perfect for those who prefer a non-sweet drink.
  13. Warm Vanilla Milk: Simple yet comforting, it’s like a liquid vanilla cookie, great for relaxation.
  14. Cucumber-Mint Cooler: Incredibly refreshing and light, ideal for a palate cleanser or a cool sip on a warm day.
  15. Non-Alcoholic Sangria: Fruity and festive, it allows everyone to enjoy the fun of sangria without alcohol.
  16. Lemon-Lavender Mocktail: Floral and zesty, it’s a sophisticated option that’s sure to impress guests.
  17. Turmeric Latte: A health-boosting beverage known for its anti-inflammatory properties, with a comforting, earthy taste.
  18. Virgin Pina Colada: Tropical and creamy, it brings a taste of the tropics to your holiday festivities.
  19. Apple Pie Smoothie: A healthy treat that’s like drinking a dessert, great for satisfying a sweet tooth.
  20. Iced Herbal Tea: Customizable and hydrating, it’s a perfect everyday drink with endless flavor possibilities.
  21. Hot Cocoa with Orange Zest: The classic winter warmer with a citrus twist, adding depth and brightness to the chocolate.
  22. Shirley Temple: Sweet and fizzy, a timeless mocktail that’s always a hit, especially with kids.
  23. Watermelon Slushie: Hydrating and refreshing, it’s like a mini escape to summer in a glass.
  24. Berry Hibiscus Cooler: Vibrant and tangy, it’s not only delicious but also visually stunning, perfect for a sunny day.

For recipes, a quick search with the name of these beverages followed by “recipe” in your preferred search engine should yield numerous options. Enjoy creating and savoring these delightful drinks! 🍹🌟🎉


HAPPY EVERY HOUR: We know we mix a mean mocktail. HAPPY EVERY HOUR will keep you updated on the latest and most significant trends in NA craft beers, mocktails and zero-proof beverages.

TRIGGER WARNING: People in early sobriety may want to proceed with caution. Always read labels. Please hydrate responsibly … because drunk never looks good.

THE BEVERAGE CATEGORIES:

Do you love Non-Alcoholic Craft Beers and the 90s? Then you’re in for a treat! Sober Curator Justin Lamb is dedicated to tasting great (sometimes not so great) NA beers and showcasing his fantastic collection of memorabilia from the ’90s.

NA Bevies & Mocks brings you mocktail recipes, NA beverage reviews, along with NA wine & spirit alternatives

Manic Monday got you in a panic? Fear not! Tonix Mocktail’s brings you Just a Merry Monday MOCKTAIL recipe, review, and how-to section bring fun and clever mocktail treats and tips to customize your at-home zero-proof bar.
