Alcohol-Free Winter Drinks
24 recipes
An alcohol-free winter drink should be built as its own recipe, not as the same drink with the alcohol removed. Take the wine out of mulled wine and you are left with hot juice, which is exactly what makes people stop asking for it.
What the alcohol was doing was providing structure: a little bitterness, a little tannin, and enough length to stop the sweetness dominating. Strong tea, hibiscus, fresh ginger and citrus peel all do that job, which is why they turn up repeatedly below.
Every drink here works on a table where other people are drinking, and looks like it belongs there.
