Mocktails

Getting fruity this silly season – Countdown with our 12 mocktails of Christmas advent calendar

The silly season is now upon us and the diary is jam packed with function after function, family gatherings, parties and catch-ups – all featuring lots of food, drinks and alcohol.

For those who are pregnant or taking a break from alcohol, Christmas often means trying to fend off the constant offers of alcoholic drinks while making the most of your sparkling water.

Pregnant Pause and the National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (NOFASD) Australia want to ‘rock the mock’ this Christmas and have compiled the best mouth-watering mocktails for their 12 Mocktails of Christmas advent calendar.

When mocktails taste this good, who needs alcohol? Ice-cold, fruity and delicious, these handpicked cocktails sans the booze are easy to make and ideal for all occasions. Save the plastic cups for picnics, these liquorless libations need to be served up in proper glassware – going alcohol free doesn’t mean being demoted to the kiddies table.

12 Mocktails of Christmas will help you countdown to the big day with an interactive advent calendar slowly revealing a new recipe during December. So, whether you’re on a health kick, the designated driver, planning a pregnancy, already expecting, or want to be the hostess with the mostest, why not beat the heat this Christmas and mix it up with these tasty mocktails?
