15 Autumn Mocktail Recipes For Your Fall Break From Alcohol
Before long, yellow school buses will be making their rounds, temperatures will begin to decline, and the sun will set earlier and earlier. Autumn is just around the corner, and with it comes cozy evenings, pumpkin patch outings, and warm colors transforming the views around you.
Perhaps this fall you’re thinking of taking a break from drinking. It’s always nice to have a reset for your gut health and a rest for your liver. Or perhaps you are newly pregnant, or sober-curious, or don’t drink at all. Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice flavor or fun this autumn while stepping away from alcohol. Here are 15 autumnal mocktails to enjoy this fall.
These recipes are derived primarily from a leading recipe book on cocktails and mocktails called The Art of Mixology, and I’ve adjusted some classic recipes to make them non-alcoholic while adding a few recipes of my own. Enjoy!
