    Whether you’re taking the first month of the year off from alcoholic beverages after an indulgent holiday season, or enjoy an alcohol-free lifestyle year round, these delicious mocktail recipes will ensure you always have tasty drink options in the new year.

    The health benefits of cutting back on or eliminating alcohol, even if only for the month of January, are well documented and were the original basis behind the creation of Dry January. And while the reasons for skipping the liquor are wide and varied, many people enjoy the challenge of changing up their usual bar sips for something less alcoholic.

    A mocktail is simply a non-alcoholic cocktail, and even with copious amounts of mocktails showing up on restaurant menus lately, they are still often associated with a kid’s drink. 

    But make no mistake, there are no Shirley Temples on this list. Instead we’re relying on fresh herbs and citrus, fruit juices, homemade simple syrups, and fizzy mixers to create delicious non-alcoholic drinks. We’re skipping non-alcoholic spirits (a.k.a. zero-proof spirits) for these 10 recipes since they can be pricey and most people don’t have them readily on hand.
