With the holiday season upon us, let's share some ideas for fun non-boozy cocktails that we can all enjoy this year!

I had some fun this summer pureeing different fruit blends and using muddled mint and seltzer to make no-jitos.

I usually just mix fruit juice with 7up, Sprite or Ginger ale.  Voila.

I love seltzer. Twist of lemon or lime or both. You can also add cucumber and a splash of ginger beer.

Is a virgin margarita gross since its just mix? Is there anything else you could mix it with. I would love one so bad. The lime taste and salt sounds amazing.

I just bought a Welch's Sparkling Mocktail from the store. I got Sangria and poured it into a wine glass. It just isn't the same...

@charlestonchew I never make margaritas with mix. They’re so much better the “authentic” way - fresh squeezed lime juice, agave, tequila, cointreau, and salt. Throw in a shaker with ice. You’d probably have to add something to replace the tequila and triple sec and to cut the acidity, like club soda or seltzer, but I think you’d get the feeling of a margarita.

That's too much work for me haha. I've always just had it with mix. Maybe we'll head out to a restaurant with a bar and see if they can make me a virgin one or not. Salty acidic things sounds amazing.

@lincbeesmom A sangria sounds amazing, too... this is torturous.

All I'm trying to add is non alcoholic ginger beer.
And if you add lime and some basil or mint to it, it's like a moscow mule

I bought a case of ginger beer from Costco (its non-alcoholic). I mix it with soda water and lime juice. Tasty and great for an upset tummy.

I was just talking to my SO about ordering cherry syrup from Amazon so I could make Shirley temples

+1 for ginger beer.  I like to add lime juice and frozen berries and if I'm feeling fancy I'll muddle the berries with honey.  

@charlestonchew I ordered a virgin margarita once and the waitress literally laughed at me.

That's really rude. Why? Because it's just mix?

fraufarbissina

@charlestonchew yeah.  I guess she thought I was joking?  I dunno.  I ended up just getting a virgin pina colada instead so I can't tell you how the mix is on it's own

Yesss to virgin mojito. Had one this week. Wasnt my glass of wine or margarita, but it was pretty good!
