These drinks can be mixed up in batches of any size—making them perfect for a major family get-together (oh hi, Thanksgiving!) or a casual girls' night in.
Non-Alcoholic Apple Cider Sangria
This refreshing take on sangria makes the most of seasonal fruits like apples and pears. After mixing, pop it in the fridge for an hour or so to really let the flavors mingle.
Spiced Kombucha Moscow Mule
Looking to upgrade your kombucha habit? This dry take on a Moscow mule includes fresh-pressed ginger juice and holiday spices like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
