Christmas Mocktail Recipe

A simple and festive Mocktail recipe using three colorful fruit juices for Christmas! Perfect for kids.

Mocktail

I need a drink… a mocktail. I went Christmas shopping yesterday.

This basically means I got pushed around by a bunch of shoppers all day long only to get 1/3 of what was on my list.

People are seriously legit about getting the right kind of toys for their kids lemmetellyou. The aisles in Target were filled to the max. Pretty sure there was a fire code violation happening in aisles 14-17. Of course all these parents were out to get the one doll my daughter wanted too. And of course they were all sold out. Completely. Also, the exersaucer I was going to get my son only came in pink. #killmenow #yarightyouhavenoneintheback #LIARS #conspiracy 

In other news, I got my husband some deodorant for his stocking. —>I’m a lame gift giver.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

He’s told me he wants a big fatty flat screen tv for Christmas and athletic socks. Umm….I got the socks, but there’s no way I’m spending $1200 on a brand new tv that we will never use that the kids will probably break in the next year or two. Have I mentioned we never watch tv? We only have netflix and struggle to find time to watch that!

Ugh. MEN.

So, if you have any ideas of what I could get my husband for Christmas, please let me know.

Mocktail

ANYWAYS, last week when I was visiting my sister, I made her and her kids a mocktail… because I’m not a drinking woman. {Although through these failed shopping attempts I have considered making it a new hobby.}

I had a version of this drink when I was in Park City for the Inspired Retreat. {You probably saw a bunch of photos on my Instagram feed from this event last weekend.} It was so refreshing and yummy that I had to make myself a whole pitcher.

The ingredients for this mocktail include: cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice and ice. The ice is key and makes this cold and wonderful to sip. I thought a little club soda or sparkling water would have made this perfect, but didn’t have any on hand. I added that to the printable recipe below, but it’s totally optional. Overall, this takes 5 minutes or less to throw together and is the most festive fruity drink this December 🙂 Enjoy!

  2. I’m definitely making this for Christmas. It look delish. And everyone deserves at least one glass of wine or cocktail after holiday shopping. People are NUTS!

  7. Love the looks of this drink!! It was so fun having cocktails at Riverhorse and it made the dinner extra special! This would be a perfect addition to any Christmas spread. And good luck with the husband gift situation!!! That’s so hard. Maybe you could buy him a DVD tv series instead of a tv??!

  11. That cocktail looks so good it almost makes me forget there’s no rum in it! lol
    My husband is super hard to buy for too! This year I lucked out and Sting is coming, so I got him tickets. However his birthday is 2 weeks later, so I don’t know what I’ll come up for that. But I find fun things to do is a great gift… Like concerts, comedy shows, rock climbing, go-karting, etc.

  20. These are DELICIOUS! On a whim, I made these right after Christmas. I ended up making them almost every day over the next couple of weeks. I kept telling myself that they are really healthy because the juices all have lots of vitamin C. Lol. Thanks for sharing this simple, delicious drink!
