Perfect Mocktails for Christmas
People like to celebrate around the holidays and celebrations often lead to drinking alcohol. One quarter of all annual liquor sales occur between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just because the holidays are here does not mean you should reach for alcohol.
There are plenty of delicious mocktails you can enjoy that will help you celebrate the season. You will feel alert, happy and healthy when you opt for a mocktail instead of an alcoholic drink. You will also remember every detail of the holiday season that you spend with your family. This sounds like a much nicer Christmas!

Cranberry Basil Sangria – Refreshing Christmas Mocktail
Cranberry is a classic Christmas fruit. Cranberries ripen at the end of the fall putting them in stores right around Christmas time. The bright red color adds a pretty, festive color to the drink as well!
Our cranberry basil sangria is the perfect, refreshing Christmas mocktail. It is sweet and a little tangy. The flavor is sure to brighten up any holiday party! Red cranberries and green basil leaves will look gorgeous in your guests cups.
Peppermint Hot Cocoa – Most Popular Holiday Drink
Peppermint hot chocolate may be one of the most loved holiday drinks. A rich, warm mug of cocoa is something everyone wants. The zing of the peppermint is the perfect finishing touch.
Use crushed candy canes to garnish the toasty drink for an even more festive touch. Use white chocolate or dark chocolate in place of the semi sweet chips to create a whole new drink.
Orange Energy Juice – Tasty Energising Drink
Schedules can get pretty busy around the holidays. You may need a tasty drink to help give you the energy you need to power through the day. Our orange energy juice is exactly the drink for the job.
We love this fresh squeezed orange juice around the holiday’s when citrus fruits are in season. The pretty orange color looks fantastic with a mint sprig garnish. Start your morning with a big glass of energy juice every day this December and you will feel fantastic on Christmas morning.
Non Alcoholic Hot Toddy – Christmas in a Glass
End a busy December day with a warm mug of spicy non alcoholic hot toddy. Not only does this drink just taste like Christmas in a glass, but it will also help you from catching a cold this holiday season.
Fresh squeezed lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves all have antimicrobial properties. Honey is also known to help prevent illness. Make it part of your nightly routine to drink a non alcoholic hot toddy and you will definitely feel the benefits.
Non Alcoholic Apple Pie Punch – Perfect Christmas Mocktails
Why not mix up an apple pie in a glass instead of baking one? Our delicious apple pie punch mocktail is the perfect Christmas morning drink. It also makes a delicious dessert!
Apple cider, apple pie spice and white grape juice are mixed together. A little ginger ale is added to give the punch a nice fizz. Cubed apple pieces are mixed in to make the punch hearty and very tasty. Everyone in your house is going to want another slice...or another glass of pie!
