Serve These Festive Non-Alcoholic Drinks at Your Next Holiday Party

As a host, you may be used to asking all of your invited guests about their dietary restrictions or preferences—but asking about beverage preferences is a bit trickier than that. While you certainly might curate a menu specifically for your attending guests, making a wider selection of festive drinks is the best way to make all of your guests feel welcome and at ease this holiday season. Keep the bar well-stocked with mixed drinks and cocktails, as well as the ingredients necessary to make a few of these specially crafted non-alcoholic drinks that all guests of all ages can enjoy.

Some of these mocktail ideas are direct translations of their alcoholic counterpoints, including the collection of sparklers and ciders on this list. One way to ensure there's a myriad of options for everyone in your party is to create a big batch of one of these non-alcoholic drinks and then divide it in two; one will remain free of alcohol, while you can add your choice of spirits into the other. All of these drink ideas are deliciously rich and refreshing both with and without hard liquor.

Other recipes in this collection have been specially designed to please some of your pickiest guests, including small children. They feel just as refined and fun as classic holiday cocktails, and they're tasty enough that everyone will want a glass. From pomegranate to cranberry, there are plenty of seasonal flavors harnessed in these drinks—plus, we've added a few classics (cider included!) for those who love tradition. Regardless of which sips you choose to serve, they all pair well with one of our curated holiday menus perfect for entertaining a large crowd throughout the festive season.
