Drinks on Me! 15 Refreshingly Healthy Mocktail Recipes

These healthy mocktail recipes are a festive & delicious way to celebrate & stay hydrated, without a lot of extra calories. 

Although I definitely love a good cocktail, like my favorite Triple Citrus Rosemary Pomegranate Margarita, there are times I’d rather not imbibe, but still want something festive, yet healthy too. Enter these 15 Refreshingly Healthy Mocktail Recipes I’ve wrangled up with the help of my food blogger and dietitian nutritionist friends.

All of these recipes are gluten free, vegetarian {most are vegan too}, and are no/low in added sugars. Bonus! Some of them get an antioxidant boost from fresh herbs and spices, or give your belly a dose of microbiome friendly kombucha. Win-win!

So, without further adieu, let’s get this mocktail party started!
