Should We Have Mocktails For The Holidays? We Say Yes!

Since cocktails and hard drinks are hard to come by, a Primo mocktail can add a little sparkle to our pandemic holidays.

Since the liquor ban caused by COVID-19, we’ve been trying all sorts of colorful drinks like coffee and fruit chillers to spark joy for the holidays. But it’s not the same without our favorite brand of mama and papa juice and the thought of our kids getting a swig of our alcoholic drinks when we’re not looking scares us. So, like in any situation, we choose the middle. Mocktails are perfect for drinks for both kids and adults during the holidays. We get the fizz and kids get the sweet juice with no alcohol included!

Making Mocktails with Primo

Mocktails still retain the fun and fizz but are non-alcoholic and usually use sparkling juice as the base. Primo has two: Red Grape and White Grape — both that have a smooth and natural fruity sweetness to them. Because of its sweetness and its being non-alcoholic, we can serve it during holiday dinners without the fear of kids suddenly getting drunk or allergic attacks (unless they’re allergic to grapes) if they accidentally drink it.

Kid-friendly Holiday Mocktail: Señor Primo

Since we can’t go out to experience the holiday sparkle, we’ll bring it home instead with Primo’s signature Mocktail recipe: the Señor Primo. Make sure you have the following ingredients:

2 tbsp pomegranate syrup
¼ glass Mango juice
Tube ice
¼ glass Primo Sparkling Red Grape Juice
Red grapes for garnish
Fresh mint for garnish

In a glass, mix the pomegranate syrup with the mango juice. Then, add some ice before adding Primo’s Sparkling Red Grape Juice. Make sure to mix it gently so it doesn’t splatter before garnishing it with the grapes and mint. The best part about the Señor Primo mocktail is that you can make one to treat yourself or you can make a whole carafe for the whole family to enjoy during the holidays.

Add some sparkle to your holidays with mocktails

Our long fight with the pandemic may have left us disillusioned and embittered, wondering if things will get any better. It’s why it might take a little more effort than usual to bring out the Christmas tree or to sing a few Christmas carols. But let’s try something small first so that we can slowly ease ourselves into the holiday spirit. It may not be eggnog but mocktails can be just as good too for the holidays.
