Move over cocktails – make way for mocktails 

<p>Did you begin the New Year feeling completely Prosecco-d out? Going 'dry' for the month of January should help that liver recover. Of course, cutting anything out of our diets seems particularly challenging at the beginning of the year, with three seemingly (longer than usual) months of winter stretching ahead of us. </p><p>So why not make sure you've got a few good mocktail recipes (or a glass of <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/low-or-no-alcohol/be-free-merlot/1000005550558" target="_blank">low-alcohol wine</a> or <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/sparkling-wine/nosecco-spumante-alcohol-free/1000018541297" target="_blank">bubbly</a>) up your sleeve?  Here are a few of our favourite non-alcoholic cocktails that will bring some sunshine into your life. </p><h2>No-alcohol Christmas pudding old fashioned</h2><p>Want to hold onto Christmas just that little bit longer? Try this rather tempting <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/no-alcohol-christmas-pudding-old-fashioned" target="_blank">no-alcohol Christmassy twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail</a>. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/no-alcohol-christmas-pudding-old-fashioned" target="_blank"><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"></a></p><h2>Ginger beer, blood orange, rosemary tonic fizz</h2><p>When it looks this good, who cares if it's not got any alcohol in it? The <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/ginger-beer-blood-orange-rosemary-tonic-fizz" target="_blank">classic mimosa</a> has had a no-alcohol makeover and we're so here for it. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/ginger-beer-blood-orange-rosemary-tonic-fizz" target="_blank"><img alt="mocktail_mimosa__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/mocktail_mimosa__square_GL?scl=1"></a></p><h2>Mulled juice </h2><p>Sure, Christmas is over, but spring is ages away. If you fancy a cold weather-appropriate drink, try <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/christmas-mocktails" target="_blank">mulled juice</a>. Throw a cinnamon stick, cloves, ground nutmeg, sliced orange and lemon peel in a pan with a litre of apple juice, heat, and you've got yourself a very moreish seasonal beverage. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="mulled-white-wine__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/mulled-white-wine__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Cosmo-not</h2><p>Considering it's made from a mix of cranberry, orange and lime juice with a dash of pink lemonade, how could <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/cosmo-not" target="_blank">this drink</a> not be delicious? Serve in a martini-style glass and you might fool yourself into thinking you're slurping the real deal.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="cosmo-not__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/cosmo-not__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Pink grapefruit & bramble winter spritz mocktail</h2><p>Super refreshing, super tasty and super pretty.
