Happy non-alcoholidays! This is the time of the year for little get-togethers and dinner parties. More often than not, these occasions contain several things: good food, laughter, awkward conversations and booze — lots of booze. But just because you’re underage, or if you decide not to consume alcohol, it doesn’t mean you have to stick to water. Try these festive mocktails — cocktails but without the booze — for an equally satisfying beverage this holiday season!

Sparkling Pomegranate Screwdriver

Not the tool, but the cocktail — or should we say, mocktail! This one’s a festive spin on your traditional screwdriver — an orange juice and vodka concoction. Bubbly and sweet, this drink’s definitely a refreshing treat!

San Pellegrino (Tangerine LaCroix works really well here too!)

Fresh orange slices and pomegranate seeds for garnishing
