So I’ve rounded up 10 mocktails to put the Jolly in your Holly Jolly Holiday this year. Use it as inspiration for your next party or mix up a batch and bring it to the next soirée. People appreciate a non-alcoholic option!

Drinking Glasses

I abstain from drinking because I’m an alcoholic. And the holidays are tricky, especially the first year of sobriety. Having a signature drink, even if I had to bring it with me and leaving parties early both helped me stay sober during the holidays. You can have a holiday filled with cheer — hold the hangovers.

Cheers!
