Celebrate National Mocktail Week with these 9 Tasty Mocktail Recipes

We sure did love getting down on some sweets and treats over the holidays. If you’re anything like us, you also enjoyed yourself a glass (or three) of wine. The first month of a new year is an excellent time to take a break from alcohol and check yourself for any other bad habits that may have snuck into your routine. A great way to ween yourself of the sauce is to replace your normal go-to adult beverage with a mocktail. Whether you’re on day 14 of the Whole30 (hang in there!), celebrating a Dry January or just taking a little alcohol break, check out our our favorite tasty mocktail recipes from around Instagram. Cheers to a healthier body and mind! *hiccup*
