I’ve noticed that as I get older, even just one glass of wine can leave me feeling off—hello, “hangxiety.” But that doesn’t mean I don’t love a good drink, especially during the cozy winter months. So, I’ve started making winter mocktails that have all the flavor I’m craving but with ingredients that actually support my well-being. Think adaptogens instead of alcohol—ingredients that help, not hurt. So, I wanted to document and share the best winter mocktails I’ve come up with and tell you why I’m loving them this season.
Mocktails are often associated with Dry January, but I wanted to enjoy the holiday season with non-alcoholic drinks that still feel festive and indulgent. I love having something special to sip on that won’t leave me feeling like I’m recovering the next day. Instead of reaching for a classic cocktail, I’m creating mocktails that are loaded with ingredients I trust and love—like those from Apothekary and Organifi. These brands are rigorous about quality, using third-party testing to ensure everything is organic, non-GMO, and free of heavy metals and contaminants.
Winter, for me, is a time to recharge and embrace cozy moments. On chilly days, I love turning my living room into a sanctuary with a great movie and a delicious drink that feels like a treat but is actually good for me.
Here are the winter mocktails I’m making this season to celebrate without compromise.
