We do not necessarily need alcohol to make the holidays more crazy. Zoom on the 'mocktails' trend, (or 'mock' for fake, in English) or tasty, exotic or warm cocktails without a drop of alcohol.

4 good reasons to love non-alcoholic cocktails

  1. Because they are not hyper caloric . And yes, in addition to having a real impact on our health, alcohol is full of calories. So, by focusing on the 'without' we limit its consumption of sugar ... provided you do not replace the alcohol with a soda too sweet! We prefer to bet on still or gaseous water.
  2. Because we can drink all the time. It can not be repeated enough: to be well hydrated you must drink at least 1.5 L of water a day. And if you're not a fan of the taste of water, mocktails are a tasteful alternative!
  3. Because there is something for everyone ... Whether you like sparkling water, still water or fruit juice, tea , milk, etc .. there is necessarily a mocktail that fits your tastes. Especially since we add all the flavors we like: fresh fruit, spices, honey ...
  4. ... and for all seasons. Especially popular in ice-cold version to cool in summer, the alcohol-free cocktail is also available in hot version. Just like the traditional mulled wine, some fruit juices, milk and (of course) tea can be drunk hot, with some spices or lemon zest.
