Refreshing Booze-Free Drink Recipes

We love cocktails. The boozy kick of spirits is a welcome addition to every drink. But sometimes you want to lay off the bottle, and there's no reason that cutting out alcohol has to mean sacrificing flavor. To that end, we've rounded up a collection of refreshing, warming, and rich nonalcoholic drink recipes for the whole family to enjoy.

Mexico is home to all sorts of great nonalcoholic drinks. Horchata is a milky cooler made with various types of ground grains and seeds. A classic version is made with toasted rice and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. For a richer version, try fortifying the drink with coconut water and milk.

India has a long history of making nonalcoholic drinks that provide relief from the country's heat. If you’ve been to an Indian restaurant in America you're likely familiar with the lassi—a creamy drink made with milk or yogurt often blended with fruits like mangos or strawberries. A lighter choice is nimbu pani, a bubbly limeade enlivened by coarsely ground black pepper.

Rich, creamy milkshakes are a drink and dessert all in one. The general recipes is simple—ice cream, flavorings, and milk if you want to thin it a little. Try spiking your milkshake with maple syrup or, if you're feeling decadent, a whole slice of blueberry pie. For something a little different but totally addictive, avocado and mint is a delicious combination.
