Have to usher into the New Year sober?
Cutting down on alcohol has many health benefits. However, many people struggle with the change.
For that reason I have made up a list of beverages to substitute to that favourite bottle of wine, beer or cider, the selection is also great for non-drinkers:
• Sparkling water is a great alternative to alcohol, especially if you are a fan of bubbly.
• Club soda with flavoured syrup or herbs.
• Spiced apple cider.
• Water with a slice of lemon or mint.
• Pomegranate juice, rich in fruity flavour. Its flavour and aroma are comparable to red wine and can be used in cooking.
• Ginger ale.
• Red or white grape juice, excellent alternative to wine.
• Apple juice.
• And everyone’s favourite, cranberry juice.
Cheers to a sober holiday season.
