I've tried a LOT of Thanksgiving mocktails over the years...and these are the ones I keep coming back to! These drinks are gloriously festive, and I've even included instructions in most recipes for scaling them up into batch mocktails for easy holiday hosting.
Every November I am asked for the same thing: non-alcoholic Thanksgiving drinks that are easy to make, taste amazing, look pretty enough for the holiday table, and don't send you hunting everywhere for hard-to-find ingredients...so that's exactly what this list is. Almost every recipe uses ingredients from your regular grocery store, and many take just 5 minutes. Have fun!
