Staying sober is the new seasonal sensational

Who knew Christmas mocktails would become so popular? People are looking for festive non-alcoholic holiday drink options and Christmas mocktails are all the rage.

Luckily, whether you’re always alcohol-free, pregnant, planning a healthy holiday season or trying to avoid a hangover these non-alcoholic Christmas drinks are perfect.

You might even just want something bright and sweet for everyone — including the kids — can enjoy.

The Grinch Float

It takes all of five minutes to make and looks absolutely awesome.

Inspired the grumpy character from the famous movie, line up the festive flick and get the little ones lined up.

It’s bright, light, sweet, tangy, tart, zingy, creamy, and more.

Take 500ml of green Hawaiian punch juice (you can also use green juice if you want to make it healthy).

Add 500ml of lemon and lime soda. Place 3-4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, or matcha green ice cream, on top.

Watch it bubble, press play and enjoy!

Candy Cane Festive Mocktail

Cool, creamy and perfectly pepperminty, grab 250ml of half and half cream and a can of cream soda; peppermint essence or extract and four tablespoons of agave syrup.

Follow these simple instructions and you'll be ready to wow your guests with Christmas cheer in a glass.

1. To prepare the martini rims, lightly coat the rim of your martini cup in simple syrup on a plate
2. Crush a few of the candy canes. On another plate, place the crushed candy canes then rim the glasses by dipping the glasses that have been coated in simple syrup into the candy canes
3. To make the drink, simply stir together the half and half, and the cream soda, 2 tsp of the syrup and 2-4 drops of peppermint essence in a small pitcher.
4. Pour mixed drink into the candy can rimmed martini glasses.
5. Top with a candy cane.

Don't forget your candy canes, available in lots of different colours and flavours at Choithrams.com
