Though hosting during the holiday season might look a little \u2013 or a lot \u2013 different this year, there are still fundamental principles of being a good host that can apply to a gathering of any size. With inclusivity in mind, below are some holiday hosting ideas to elevate the cocktail experience for all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stock your bar cart with Seedlip (or other non-alcoholic options)<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While the holidays are synonymous with indulgence, it\u2019s just good hospitality<\/em> to have options on hand. Stocking your bar cart with Seedlip, the original distilled non-alcoholic spirit designed with the cocktail experience in mind. It offers guests who may want to avoid alcohol for an hour, an evening, or longer, an alternative beyond plain soda water.<\/p>\n

    Serve 2 oz Seedlip over ice with premium tonic so everyone is offered the flavour and enjoyment of a proper cocktail, without the alcohol.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Shop locally for ingredients <\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It\u2019s something we recommend doing year-round, but plan to purchase as many ingredients (high-quality garnishes, pressed juices, shrubs) from farms and independent businesses near you. Create a stunning garnish station with herb bundles (mint, sage, and rosemary), DIY dried limes and oranges, and mini spice jars of star anise and cinnamon sticks to really wow your guests.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Bring low-alcohol cocktails into the mix<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        For the guests who prefer alcohol, a bottle of dry sparkling wine is a great addition to the party. Adding a splash (1 oz) to a non-alcoholic cocktail transforms it into a quick and easy low-alcohol option, especially for those looking to moderate throughout the evening.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Provide sweetener alternatives<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Natural sugars like maple or date syrups, agave nectar, and coconut sugar add interesting dimensions and weight to non-alcoholic cocktails and are flavourful processed choices. Try the Apple Highball or healthier Alt Nog recipes below.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Make it easy!<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Pre-batch non-alcoholic cocktails, like the Seedlip Grove CosNOpolitan, in mason jars or serve an alcohol-free punch bowl for low-maintenance entertaining.<\/p>\n
