Today I have a little secret to share with you.
It has everything to do about holidays and drinks.
Can you guess what it is?
The secret is that I have the biggest love-hate relationship with any drink that’s spiked with alcohol.
I love the taste or red wine, but I find that even just a few sips can give me an awful headache and make me feel sick all through the next day.
I believe in eating healthy food as much as possible and anything that makes me feel so sick and miserable the next day can’t possibly be healthy or good for you.
The difficult thing about this is that I often feel left out during the holidays, when everyone is enjoying warm wine, hot punch, or tons of spiked cocktails.
I find that just raising my glass with water or juice to toast feels a bit lackluster.
Can you relate to this?
If the answer is yes, I have some very good news coming your way!
This year I decided to play around with mocktails so that I can actually enjoy drinking something special during the holidays and without risking a potential hangover waiting to happen the next day.
All of these mocktails are also fairly healthy and made with clean ingredients, so you can truly sip on guilt-free!
I’ve been trying out lots and lots of different recipes and I’m happy to report that I have gathered quite the collection of delicious, festive drinks.
From mock sangria and margaritas, to non-alcoholic cinderellas and mojitos, I’ve found the perfect recipes for whatever healthy mocktail your heart desires.
Here is my list of the top 10 non-alcoholic cocktails you can enjoy this holiday season.
