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.”

2. Tuscan Fresco
“Light and fresh with a few woodsy citrus notes from the rosemary, make the Tuscan Fresco mocktail something you and your guests will enjoy.”

3. Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri
“This virgin strawberry daiquiri is probably the best drink I have ever had! Easy to make with strawberries, sugar, lemon-lime soda, lemon juice, and ice. You can substitute red cream soda or your favorite flavor for the lemon-lime.”
