Read on for these healthy holiday mocktails!
Sparkling Cranberry Orange
For this, you’ll need:
1.5 oz sparkling water
2 oz cranberry juice
2.5 oz apple cider or juice
10 cranberries and an orange wedge
To make this one, muddle the orange and cranberries in the cranberry juice and then stir in the water and cider. Serve over ice with a few cranberries or an orange slice for garnish. You can also use ginger ale instead of sparkling water!
Ho-Ho-Holiday Mule
Who doesn’t love a good mule? This one takes:
1 oz cinnamon or simple syrup
1 oz lime juice
1 oz cranberry juice
Ginger ale or ginger beer
To make: Mix all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and then strain into a glass with or without ice. Top with the ginger ale or ginger beer. You can garnish with a lime wedge.
Virgin Sangria
This one is a crowd pleaser! You’ll need equal parts of:
Orange juice
Apple Juice
Pomegranate juice
Sparkling water
1-2 cups of chopped fruit (we like apples, oranges, grapes, peaches, pomegranate seeds)
Mix together the juices and fruit and top with the sparkling water to taste. No garnish necessary, this drink is festive enough!
