20 Healthy Holiday Cocktails - Sharon Palmer, vegan nutritionist

If you’re looking for inspiration for your party with plenty of ideas for Thanksgiving cocktails, Christmas cocktails, and New Year’s cocktails, this collection of 20 healthy holiday cocktails is perfect! Each vegan recipe is lighter in sugar, alcohol, and fat than many standard alcoholic beverages.

Looking for a special liqueur for your holiday cocktail list that’s packed with flavor and intrigue, but is a little lighter in sugar, alcohol, and fat? We’ve got you covered here with our collection of 20 healthy holiday cocktails that are 100% vegan and 100% delicious. I know I’m not a huge fan of heavy cocktails, which are loaded with added sugars, sweet ingredients, cream, calories, and lots of booze. I prefer those healthy-feeling liqueurs, including ingredients like herbs, fruits, citrus, vegetables, and sparkling water to give them a feather-light finish. And this collection of healthy Christmas and New Year’s cocktails will definitely not weigh you down!

Some of my favorite bloggers have contributed to this collection of light cocktail recipes, and my favorite recipes are also included here. There are cocktail recipes for all holiday occasions, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s gatherings, whether it’s for brunch, parties, toasts, or dinner.

Cheers!

Sharon
