Non-Alcoholic Mulled Wine

Let’s start with a non-alcoholic wine alternative that is both delicious and easy to make. All you need is to mix sugar, blackberries, pomegranate, and apple juice in a saucepan. Add spices whichever you like, we recommend going with cinnamon, cloves, star anise, peppercorns, and orange. Heat until it starts to simmer. If you want a sweeter drink, add more sugar. Strain and serve!

Italian Blood Orange Soda

You won’t believe that you only need 6 ingredients and 15 minutes to make this Italian soda. You will need blood oranges, unsweetened coconut milk, sugar, water, sparkling water, and red gel food colouring if you want a brighter colour. First, make a simple syrup by adding sugar to water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and start stirring while adding blood orange juice. Add red gel food colouring (optional). Then add sparkling water, then coconut cream. For garnish use basil or mint.

Grinch Punch

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a classy Christmas movie and for its fans, we have a great and tasty grinch punch recipe. you’ll need lemon-lime kool-aid, sugar, pineapple juice, thawed frozen lemonade concentrate, sprite, and ice. First, dip the glasses in water and rim them with red sanding sugar. Pour water into a pitcher, add the Kool-aid mix and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the pineapple juice and lemonade and stir thoroughly. Before serving, add ice and Sprite to the glasses and enjoy. Keep in mind that you should trim your glasses only before serving the punch, otherwise the sugar will dissolve. You can also use corn syrup instead of water for rimming. Add Sprite right before drinking because the drink may lose its carbonation.

Raspberry Cream "Mimosa"

The original Mimosa recipe requires spirits, but you can easily switch the alcohol for sparkling white grape juice. For the Raspberry Cream Granita, pour frozen raspberries into a pot and heat over medium heat until they look mushy. Add the sugar and keep stirring until it is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let it cool. Puree the raspberries either with a blender or a masher and strain them. Throw them into the freezer and let them cool slightly. Then add the cream and stir well, cover with a lid, and put it back into the freezer for a few hours. As soon as the raspberry cream granita is frozen, scoop a nice ball of it with a spoon and put it into champagne flutes. On top, pour the grape juice and stir gently to combine.
