You can still eat, drink and be merry this festive season. Without the booze.

<p>There are countless great things about not drinking &ndash; waking up without dry-mouth and a throbbing head is just one. If you're cutting out (or cutting down on) booze for whatever reason this Christmas, it's a good idea to have a few easy mocktail recipes up your sleeve, so you don't feel like a kid in a room of adults at your next party.</p><p>While we do love a Shirley Temple (lemonade and grenadine) or a Roy Rogers (cola and grenadine), there are so many more adult-appropriate (and Christmas-appropriate) beverage choices out there. From festive mulled juice to non-alcoholic bellinis. Here are our favourite recipes &ndash; sip sip, hooray!</p><h2>No-alcohol Christmas pudding old fashioned</h2><p>This is a <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/no-alcohol-christmas-pudding-old-fashioned" target="_blank">delicious no-alcohol Christmassy twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail</a>. Typically, this muddles together sugar, bitters, water and whiskey. It's then garnished with an orange slice or zest. To make this just as special, without the alcohol, we've including Ceder's Classic Non-Alcoholic spirit and a cinnamon stick for good cheer. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="mocktail_old_fashioned__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/mocktail_old_fashioned__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>berry slush </h2><p>This summery <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/berry-slush" target="_blank">berry slush</a> works just as well come Christmas time!
