Who Says You Need Booze to Celebrate? ??

Okay, okay—I know it might seem a little rebellious to share party drink ideas that don’t involve alcohol, especially during celebration season… but hear me out. Whether you’re the designated driver, expecting a baby, cutting back, or just prefer your beverages booze-free, there’s no reason you shouldn’t sip something festive and fabulous. That’s where the magic of mocktails comes in!

Mocktails are more than just alcohol-free versions of your favorite cocktails—they’re a celebration in a glass! With vibrant colors, fresh herbs, juicy fruits, and fun garnishes, these drinks are anything but boring. You can still enjoy the art of mixology, layering flavors and textures into something that’s just as satisfying (if not more so!) than the spiked versions.

Personally, I’m all about those minty blends—think mojitos and sparkling limes—or rich, dessert-style mocktails with creamy chocolate and crushed ice. Whether you love something fruity, fizzy, tropical, or tangy, there’s a mocktail recipe here for every taste and occasion.

Why Choose Mocktails?
Kid-friendly for family events
Perfect for pregnant or nursing guests
A thoughtful option for sober friends
No hangover!
Still super Instagram-worthy

These mocktails are perfect for weddings, baby showers, brunches, BBQs, or just an ordinary Tuesday night when you want a little sparkle without the buzz.

Here are some other great ways to serve drinks.

Punch bowl – It’s a little 80’s but get’s the job done.

Inflatable Ice trough – If you are serving individual drinks this is great for keeping them cool

Drink Dispenser with tap – Allows you to make your own drink recipes

Vintage Drink Dispenser – Decorative and saves the environment on the packaging.

Mason jars with straws – Great for on the go smoothies for school too.

Lighted Punch bowl – I have this exact same one and it is lot’s of fun, we use it for different occasions.

One of the subjects that’s often covered in preschool is learning about the five senses. Understanding our senses helps us describe the world around us and our experience in it, and it’s fun to explore the senses in different ways.

Rock Your Homeschool has a great free printables pack having to do with the five senses. I love the foldable activity shown above because it emphasizes that the way we really experience our senses is through our brains. They also have a sensory scavenger hunt printable, which doesn’t include taste but has the rest of the senses included.

Of course we don’t really want kids tasting things they find outside (unless you happen to have fruit or vegetables growing nearby) but I like the way Hands on Teaching Ideas handled it by including “something an animal would eat” on their five senses scavenger hunt.

Sea of Knowledge has lots of ideas for things to do with preschoolers to learn about the five senses, as well as this free with email signup template for making a five senses craft (you could also trace the child’s hands instead of using the hands in the template if you like).

Use a potato head toy you probably already have to play a five senses game with the download from A Little Pinch of Perfect. You could do the same thing on paper with a potato (or human body) shape and color on the different sense organs.

Simple Everyday Mom has a cute set of senses puppets you can print and play with, or use for different projects and crafts.

Preschool Packets has a whole set of posts dealing with teaching the five senses (the one linked here is for hearing but the rest are linked within that post), which includes a great idea for making shakers with kids to explore the sense of hearing.

Tim’s Printables has some cute five senses printables where kids can match the image to the sense you’d use to explore it. There’s also a body to label but I think there’s only a male version.
