New Year’s Eve Mocktails

Hosting a New Year’s Eve celebration but want to stay healthy? Pass on the alcohol this year with a fun mocktail drink. Healthy mocktails taste delicious and will allow you to feel better, without the alcohol! Whether you simply want to avoid sugary drinks or want to cut alcohol out of your life, mocktails are the perfect solution.

Using all-natural ingredients with nutrient value, you’ll love the taste of these healthy recipes. Below are some of my favorite recipes for New Year’s Eve mocktails to inspire you:

Ingredients Used in Mocktails

Sparkling water or seltzer makes the perfect base for a variety of mocktail recipes. It’s free of sugar and has a bubbly and fizzy taste. The basic nature of seltzer gives you so many options for different add-ins.

Iced tea is another great base to use in mocktails. Plus, there are many health benefits from the antioxidants and polyphenols contained in tea. Also, there are so many varieties to choose from! For probiotic benefits, try kombucha, a fermented tea with amazing benefits for your gut health.

Cold-pressed juices also make for delicious mocktails. You’ll get nutrient-dense ingredients by using real fruit or veggie juices in your mocktails.
