6 Fun Mocktail Recipes for Fall

Another fall is upon us ushering in Pumpkin spice lattes and plaid everything. Fall is an amazing season full of magical colors, smells, and flavors. The time of holiday gatherings has begun! Bonfires, date nights, holiday parties, Friendsgiving, pumpkin decorating parties, Halloween, Thanksgiving! There are so many reasons to get together with family and friends to celebrate at this time of year. Wine and festive cocktails will always be a part of many holiday gatherings, but don’t forget about the partygoers who’d rather sip a non-alcoholic beverage at your Fall soirée. How about a fun mocktail recipe?

Give your guests an option other than soda if they are deciding to avoid alcohol at your get together. Fruit juices and flavored sparkling waters have opened up new doors for creative Mocktail mixing. With the surge in sparkling water brands and flavors, the sky’s the limit for creating fun, flavorful, festive drinks for those looking to avoid alcohol for any reason this season. Adding fresh citrus and other fruit juices along with cranberries, lemon peel, and cinnamon sticks can really add some visual appeal for those thinking it’s “just water.”
