Cranberry-Ginger Shrub

Here’s a party drink that’s adult enough to please the grownups, but without the headache-causing alcohol. It’s ideal mixed with just a little club soda.

Slow Cooker Pear Cider

This from-scratch recipe uses a variety of kinds of pears for a super delicious, comforting, and well-balanced warm winter drink.

Cranberry-Basil Spritzer

This spritzer combines the tastes of the cooler season with the refreshing fizz of warmer weather drinks.

Sparkling Pear & Orange “Champagne” Punch

A non-alcoholic sparkling cider, such as Martinelli’s will sub in all the fizz and flavor you need when making this recipe alcohol-free. But it’s the iconic fruit-filled bundt-pan ice ring that really makes it festive.

Warm Tea-and-Cider Punch

This combo of tea steeped in hot cider is both comforting and reviving. To keep it family-friendly, simply skip the suggested bourbon. If you like, add a teaspoon of alcohol-free vanilla extract to the pot, to replace.

Slow-Cooker Apple Cider

Sometimes the best drink is the simplest. Steep this easy apple cider in your slow cooker and let guest scoop out a cupful on their own.

Citrus Spritzer

This easy-but-elegant drink can be tossed together out of ingredients you might have on-hand. But it’s also just a little classier than a can of soda water. Don’t forget the garnish!

Sparkling Honey Vanilla Blood Orange Mocktail

This combo of honey, alcohol-free vanilla, and fresh-squeezed blood orange is guaranteed to brighten any evening, no matter how dark and cold outside it is.

Peppermint Julep

By swapping the classic mint julep with peppermint, you can whip up a party-ready and kid-friendly drink with only a handful of ingredients.

Sparkling Berry Apple Mocktail

Mocktails can be just as pretty as cocktails—take this drink, for example. Plus, with as hectic as the holidays can get, you’ll be thankful this drink only requires three ingredients.

Gingerbread Latte

Pumpkin spice may take fall lattes by storm, but once the holidays roll around, gingerbread is the way to flavor your coffee. This recipe is made in a slow cooker, so you can toss in the ingredients in a few minutes and let the Crock-Pot works its magic.
