Non-Alcoholic Drink Ideas

There’s something about celebrations that call for toasting with friends and family with a beverage in hand. So whether you’re celebrating the Yuletide with a cheery drink or enjoying a chilled refreshment during those hot summer months, drinks are a common way to socialize throughout the year.

Just because you’re in recovery doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy tasty drinks. Of course, it probably won’t be mojitos, Bloody Marys or Eggnog, but there are plenty of delicious non-alcoholic drink ideas out there, so you can raise a glass no matter the occasion.

Mocktail Recipes

When you’re recovering from drugs or alcohol, your sobriety is your top concern. Whether it’s the holidays or a birthday party, you may find a lot of temptation coming your way when the spirits start to flow. With this list of mocktail recipes, you’ll have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks to choose from.

Keep them in your fridge or bring them along to get-togethers, so you can take part in toasting life’s special moments. They may not have alcohol in them, but they are thoroughly enjoyable and downright tasty.
