  • January 11, 2021
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

By Anika Nayak

It’s the New Year, and whether you are taking the sober month challenge or making the resolution to drink less, there are plenty of alcohol-free options. “Mocktails” are basically booze-free cocktails that are generally made with fruit juice or soda. It’s the perfect drink for party hosts to make ahead of time and give their guests the option of adding alcohol or not. If you are at a restaurant, tell the bartender you want a mocktail and he can take it from there. If in the comfort of your home, here are three recipes that show ditching the booze can be just as delicious not just for Dry January, but the New Year and beyond.
