30 Best Mocktail Recipes and Creative Nonalcoholic Cocktails

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Versatility is the name of the game with these mocktail recipes. Our collection of nonalcoholic cocktails includes everything from summery sippers to mocktails fit for holiday parties.

Whenever I throw a party, I always make an effort to offer nonalcoholic cocktails. Preparing mocktail recipes is a wonderful way to ensure that sober friends and non-drinkers feel welcomed and fully included in the festivities. I never want anyone to feel like their only option is a glass of water or a can of soda from the kid’s cooler!

This list has something for everyone, including spritzer recipes and “virgin” versions of classic cocktails. The booze-free drinks will be appreciated by designated drivers, dry January participants and anyone who just can’t deal with a morning hangover anymore (ahem, me). Made with creative ingredients and sophisticated garnishes, these mocktails are so interesting that your cocktail-loving friends may even request a glass.

If you’re wondering where start, try making alcohol-free margaritas or slushy nojitos. If you’re running short on time after prepping your party food, try making a big-batch recipe like punch and pairing it with store-bought nonalcoholic canned cocktails.

13 Hearty Ham Soup Recipes

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

These ham soup recipes will help you make the most of a holiday ham. Here’s how to transform those leftovers into ham and potato soup, creamy ham chowder or a brothy soup packed with vegetables.

A whole smoked ham is a beloved celebration food. Whether your family serves a big Easter ham, makes a holiday ham instead of turkey for Thanksgiving or adds a sweet touch to the holiday spread with Christmas ham recipes, there’s no wrong way to enjoy this smoky, savory main. Ham is such a large cut of meat that there are always leftovers, and that’s where ham soup recipes come in.

You can combine leftover ham with hearty vegetables like potatoes or pack your soup with beans to create a filling dish that’s up to the task of feeding a crowd. Ham soups tend to be hearty, so they’re perfect for chilly nights, but they taste great anytime you want to use up leftover ham from a holiday feast.

When it comes time to serve ham soup, whip up a batch of soft dinner rolls or buttery cornbread to serve on the side. The slight sweetness pairs beautifully with any ham soup.
