Mocktails for the Holidays to Support Sobriety

The holidays are here!

Here are some non-alcoholic drink ideas that can be festive if your son or daughter is newly sober or if you are having other guests who don’t drink alcohol.

Not all people want a mocktail, non-alcoholic beer, or wine when sober, so it can help to ask your child what they would prefer. Some non-alcoholic beers still have .05 percent alcohol, so read the label to know if there is any amount of alcohol in the drink if that is an issue.

Non-alcoholic drink options continue to grow, which is helpful.

Here are six options for mocktails, non-alcoholic beer, and wine.

1. Thanksgiving Mocktail

“Blood orange, thyme, and ginger beer (it’s non-alcoholic) make this mocktail light, bright and refreshing. If you’ve never tried it, ginger beer is a spicier, more intensely flavored alternative to ginger ale and is delicious.”
