    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 with Vita Coco’s fresh coconut juice.
    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.

    Amy Liz Harrison is a Harvard Medical School–certified lifestyle and wellness coach with a master’s degree in publishing from Western Colorado University. Having first earned her B.A. in communication at azusa Pacific university, she is now the bestselling author of 20+ books and the founder of A-Team Press, LLC. Additionally, Harrison is the mom of eight biological kids and the wife to one Australian airline executive. Harrison’s material is semi geared towards Gen Xers, but like “We Are the World,” it’s really for everyone, because she’s a lover, not a fighter. Sober since 2011, she used to like pina coladas. But as a native Californian, she has never liked getting caught in the rain.
