12 Days of Christmas NA∙WAY

This December we shared 12 festive drinks to enjoy NA∙WAY. While these drinks have festive names and were poured in festive glassware, we think these are worth sipping year-round.

3 ounces of NA Whiskey 
1/4 tsp of Triple Sec
Dash of Blood Orange Bitters

Garnish with an orange peel, rosemary (off our rosemary tree), and serve over ice. The more festive the ice the better the drink. We included cranberries in our ice tonight.

Sip and enjoy! We included the blood orange bitters and the triple sec (instead simple syrup) to bring forward the hints of orange. Feels like (and better yet tastes like) a holiday twist on this classic. Hope you enjoy. Cheers NA∙WAY!

This is such a refreshing and festive option for the season. We made ours extra merry with a hibiscus ginger beer, festive cubes, a sprig of rosemary and a fun straw.

    7.5 oz hibiscus ginger beer

    2 oz Seedlip Spice 94

Mix hibiscus ginger beer with Seedlip Spice 94 and garnish away. The bite of the Seedlip 94 perfectly cuts through the sweetness of the hibiscus ginger beer for a really well-balanced cocktail NA•WAY.

This is a twist on a traditional margarita with a splash of pomegranate juice. We also made pomegranate iced cubes which were a real game changer (highly recommend)!

Really enjoyed using Lyre's Agave Blanco to create this margarita NA•WAY. Best tequila substitute we have tasted.

Recipe:
3 oz Lyres Agave Blanco

1 oz Lyres Orange Sec
1/2 oz simple syrup
2 oz lime juice
Splash pomegranate juice (less than 0.5 oz)

Mix all these ingredients and pour over ice.

Garnishes (optional but highly encouraged):
Salted rim (reminds us of snowflakes)
Pomegranate iced cubes (must try!)

The Grincharita packs the punch just like it’s namesake, Mr. Grinch, who reminds us in the final days of holiday shopping and families starting to gather, that “maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more” 

Recipe:
2 oz NA Tequila
1 oz NA Orange Sec
Cucumber
Jalapeños (optional of course)
Mint
1.5 oz Lime juice
splash of simple syrup/agave/honey (we didn’t have so used a splash of elderberry syrup)

• muddle slice cucumber, jalapeño, and mint (really muddle this so you get the juice of the cucumber)
• pour in lime juice, NA tequila, orange sec, and a splash of simple syrup
• add ice and shake, shake, shake
• fill a glass with ice cubes (preferably garnishes) and pour in

Add more garnishes for full Grincharita enjoyment.

This is our take on a bubbly Poinsettia cocktail NA•WAY. We will absolutely be making these again to celebrate with family and friends. They look, smell, and taste festive. (And they are super simple, using just four ingredients.)

Recipe:
1 tsp Lyre's Orange Sec
1/2 tbs of pomegranate or cranberry juice
Favorite bubbles (ours is Chateau DelISH by ISH Spirits)
3 drops of orange bitters (we used All the Bitter)

Add a festive ice cube or two to your glass pour in Orange sec and juice of choice (we went with pomegranate juice). Mix together. Top with your favorite bubbles. Add 3 drops of orange bitters. Garnish away!
