Celebrate the Holidays Sober With This Holiday Punch NA Cocktail Recipe
My husband put together the menu and did all the cooking for our Thanksgiving dinner this year. I’m usually in charge of the cocktails, but he found this recipe for a punch, a riff on the Moscow mule. The ingredients sounded wonderful and would allow us to create something non-alcoholic that our guests could ‘fuel’ if desired. However, no one felt the need to add anything to this, and our family loved this punch! Jesse Szewczyk created this in Bon Appétit magazine, and I’m passing it on to you for your upcoming holiday gathering.
