With the holiday season upon us, and your social calendar is filling up! From cookie swaps to midnight countdowns and everything in between, there’s plenty of opportunity to party down. We’re loving mocktails as an option for these festive occasions — here's why you should, too:
What's New with Mocktails?
Mocktails have come a long way from the Shirley Temple (ok, we still love that one). Drinks like shrubs opens in a new tab and switchel opens in a new tab, which are vinegar based, are on the rise and are perfect choices for holiday gatherings. Try our Apple-Molasses Switchel opens in a new tab, flavored with winter-favorite ginger.

We want to be a part of all of the ways you celebrate. Whether you're cooking for Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah (or, hey, all of the above!), snap a picture of your favorite memories and moments and share on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #MyHolidayTradish. We'll be following along and sharing some of them on our holiday website opens in a new tab and social media channels.
