Not only is it the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also the most social. As cocktail parties, holiday dinners, and secret santa exchanges abound, it’s hard to pencil in much else these days. But here’s the honest truth- while these are moments of great joy and celebration, they can also feel very strange if you’re in the middle of reevaluating your relationship with alcohol. It always seems like drinks play such a central, inescapable role in holiday functions. Maybe you’ve been sober for a long time, maybe you’re curious about what your life would look like if you were to start, or maybe you just want to reduce your alcohol consumption for any number of reasons- all of these scenarios are indisputably valid and require no explanation to anyone else. However, during this time of year we can find ourselves in situations where others may knowingly or unknowingly question our choices. Whether it’s a family member trying to pour you a drink or a friend telling you that it’s a special occasion, these are moments that feel awkward or uncomfortable. Nonetheless, the bottom line still remains the same: you drink when you want - not for the sake of doing so, not because of social pressure or second glances, but because you genuinely desire it. Drink or no drink, you don’t owe anyone a justification about your relationship with alcohol. That belongs to you alone, so don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. A simple “yes I’d love one” or “no thanks, I’m good” is always enough and that’s it. It’s a territory that takes time to master, but the more you do so the more confident that you will become. And for when you want to have something to sip on that’s alcohol free, we’ve rounded up five holiday mocktails that are just as delicious as they sound. Enjoy them at your next gathering or all year round- the choice is always yours!
