15 Refreshing Mocktail Recipes

Many people choose to go alcohol free in January as a way to reset, refocus and just cut back on booze for a bit.

My husband and I shared our reasons Why We Decided to Participate in Dry January this year. I put together this list of refreshing a delicious mocktail recipes for those days when we want something a little festive and fun to drink without the alcohol.

What We Drink During Dry January

Besides the typically daily beverages – water, coffee, tea, etc we find that sometimes having a cocktail or special drink helps fill the void that alcoholic drinks can leave.

One of our favorite drinks is simply to take sparkling water, pomegranate juice and add a squeeze of fresh lime. It’s simply but tasty and putting it in a fancy glass makes us feel fancy too.

Another drink we love is this Whiskey Sour Mocktail using Ritual Zero Proof Whiskey Alternative.
