Drinks - Without Alchohol

Heat apple cider in a crock pot and add cinnamon sticks and cloves.
Eggnog in the carton from the store, hot or cold.
Ginger ale mixed with any fruit juice.

We love cranberry fizz - 2 parts cranberry juice, 1 part 7up, and a scoop of raspberry sherbert. you can make in a pitcher or a punch bowl. If in a pitcher just mix the juice and soda and add the sherbert to each glass. MY kids love this too!

Now that most of the nation is trying harder to eat healthy I've been impressed at restaurants that use clear glass pitchers with colorful fresh fruits on the bottom under the ice. I've been preferring water with my meals lately.... and as full as we all get at Thanksgiving I'd stay away from anything carbonated. A pitcher with bright yellow lemons and berries will be festive and probably appreciated by many of your guests.

My kids love this.... equal parts of cranberry cocktail, orange juice and gingerale. You can make as much as you like or individual drinks.

I love this recipe for Herbal Iced Tea, I always serve it at my parties for those who want something tasty without the alcohol. Its a beautiful shade of red and would look great in a clear pitcher for thanksgiving. You could even throw some fresh cranberries in there for effect.

I like to make punch. I take two different kinds if fruit juice blends that are compatible, such as cranberry- raspberry and a berry blend. Frozen works, (use the large cans that would make about a half gallon) make one can as you normally would with water, pour in the other one without water. Add a 2 liter bottle of lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Use a ring mold or a shaped cake pan ( I have a star shaped pan) fill with sliced orange pieces, or berries, fill with water freeze over night. Run under hot water to loosen ice and place in punch.
You can also use one can of limeade and one can of pink lemonade with ginger ale, then orange slices in the ice.
I found my punch bowl at Goodwill with the cups and little hangers for about $5. I place a large plastic tray under the punch bowl to catch any drips or condensation.

I like to add sparkling cider to juiceto add that fun "cocktail" effect without the alcohol. You can add it to any kind of juice or a mixture of some. Plus the kids like it and it's not soda!

Cranberry and 7-up is a favorite. Also, hawaiin punch with sherbet and 7-up is a hit in our house with both adults and kids. Oh, they also make a non-alcoholic wine, my in-laws always have that around.

i think a lot of pregnancy magazines have recipes for creative drinks for non-alcohol drinkers. i dont drink ANY alcohol, so i relate.

otherwise, there should be those bottles of non-alcoholic sparkling beverages in your local grocery store. ;) look in the snack food aisle or drink aisle depending on how your store organizes things. ask the people working in the store. they would know! :) :)
good luck.

I always like Cranberry Juice and Sprite or any other clear fizzy drink, even just carbonated water if the pop and juice is too sweet for you.

They all look very good!!!!

You can make "virgin" versions of any drink! Piña Coladas, Margaritas, etc....or just put a spoonful of orange sherbet into Sprite or orange juice--yummy!

There are a few easy ones that I have made for pregnant girlfriends at parties on the skinnygirl(Bethany Frankel's website

mango juice (the Naked brand is the best)
lemonade
sprite or some other carbonated lemon-lime beverage.

Mix together equal parts mango juice and lemonade. Add a splash of sprite at the end.... admittedly, this drink is really summery, but man, is it good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I make a punch for most of our family parties... goya strawberry juice, can of frozen lemonade and a 2 liter of gingerale with frozen raspberries and lemon slices and ice but you could switch it to cranberry juice and frozen cranberries and orange slices for thanksgiving. Very quick and easy. Cranberry juice with raspberry seltzer water is good too.
