Fall Mocktails

The fall season is synonymous with warm, cozy scents and flavors. Not only is autumn a great time for delicious food and drinks, but beverages as well!

Personally, I love a mocktail. I have a very distinct memory of being out for my 24th birthday and noticing that the more I drank, the more congested I felt. What followed was years of my sinuses reacting negatively to alcohol. Though allergy tests continued to come up negative, it was clear that drinking was no longer agreeing with my body. Since then, I have tested different types of drinks - ciders, cocktails, wine, etc. - to see what my body could and could not handle. Eventually, I started choosing more non-alcoholic options as mocktails allow me to enjoy a fun beverage without the physical symptoms that come along with alcohol.

So, in that spirit, I wanted to try out some fall-themed mocktails that are perfect for any gathering and get-together!
