12 Best Holiday Mocktails
I have recently quit drinking and with the holidays coming I know its going to be hard to be around everyone with their spiked eggnog, apple cider rum and of course my favorite, wine! So in an effort to prepare for all the parties and my family coming to town, I started looking into super fun and tasty holidays mocktails to obsess over while they squeal at the mention of mimosas.
To make it extra fun, match your 12 mocktails to our 12 days of LOUDmas Limited collection and make it the festive holiday you deserve.
Bonus- painting your nails sober is WAY easier than after a few too many.
Your nails will look so chic matching these drinks.
1. Sparkling Blood Orange
Not only is this Sparkling Blood Orange Mocktail visually appealing, but it’s also chock-full of vitamins. Who doesn’t need an immunity boost during the winter?
2. Candy Cane Mocktail
Five ingredients is all it takes to make this Candy Cane Mocktail. I love sugared rims, and this certainly puts one in the spirit.
3. Holiday Punch
Hosting a party? Create a Holiday Punch with three simple ingredients for everyone to enjoy.
4. Apple Cider Martini
Nothing like hot apple cider on a cold winter’s day. This Apple Cider Mocktail takes less than five minutes to make. Serve in these gorgeous Lustered Coupe Glasses.
5. Ginger Basil Grapefruit Spritzer
I love this flavor combo and the presentation is stunning. This Ginger Basil Grapefruit Spritzer could work as a Christmas or New Year’s Day drink. Serve in these swoonworthy flutes.
6. Baby Bellini Mocktail
No mimosas, no problem! These Baby Bellini Mocktails provide a brunch libation that’ll make you feel fancy.
7. Pepermint Julip
When I think of Juleps I envision big hats and racing horses, but this Peppermint Julep definitely invokes visions of sugarplum fairies dancing in my head. What I love about this recipe is it provides alternatives for any palate.
8. Cranberry Orange Punch
Looking for a punch (but hold the sherbet)? Try this Cranberry-Orange Punch. A feast for all senses!
9. Lamplighter Inn
For an after-dinner drink with a little caffeine, try the Lamplighter Inn. A tad more elevated, but you deserve it.
10. Sparkling Winter Berry
This Sparkling Winter Berry Holiday Cocktail puts me in a festive mood just looking at it. It’s easy to tweak for non-drinkers and drinkers, alike.
11. Italian Blood Orange Soda
Celebrate the in-season blood orange with this libation that's sweet and fizzy without, as Aubrie of The Blonde Chef says, any of the "scary ingredients" of soda pop.
12. Cranberry-Pom Bellinis
To whip up a glass of these dreamy drinks, start with a base of cranberry and pomegranate juice, then top with seltzer water and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Hope you enjoyed this list and don't forget to treat yo self by matching your nails to them. You can have a holiday filled with cheer — hold the hangovers.
