cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, central market blood orange, over ice mixed to your tastse, w lemon garnish. when in season you can put blueberries and raspberries in the drink for infused loveliness, i love these in the summer too by the pool.

otherwise a Virgin Blizzard- hot cocoa, with a pump of peppermint, garnish with chocolate covered gram cracker or Oreo i let them float for the kids

Take a look at shrubs and sipping vinegars. Pok Pok makes some and you can find others at fancy liquor stores, usually next to the mixers. These are super flavorful and add back in some of the bite and tang that alcohol provides in a full-strength cocktail.

Making ginger syrup is surprisingly easy. Look for recipes online, then add the syrup to lemonade (my favorite), soda water, or create a mixture of your own using cranberry juice, limes, whatever sounds good. :)
