25 Mocktail Recipes That Aren't Just Juice

This lineup of colorful, creative mocktail recipes offer a more exciting route to festive adult beverages. The boring old standards—juice, fountain soda, or, uh, water—are out, and these nonalcoholic drink recipes are in. We’re talking about this zippy turmeric tonic that moonlights as an immunity-busting wellness elixir. The green tea toddy spiked with mint, honey, and lemon. And the beet and sumac soda that’s as refreshing as it is beautiful. Just because you might be looking to cut back this holiday season, or opt out altogether, doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the kids’ menu. These mocktail recipes are delicious, thoroughly adult, and a serious upgrade from what you’re used to thinking of as a non-alcoholic alternative.
