<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, you\u2019re planning out what beverage to serve during your wedding reception. Well, most couples usually opt for the traditional booze party \u2013 but this isn\u2019t necessary, especially in today\u2019s wellness-obsessed society. Whether you\u2019re leaning towards supplementing alcoholic offerings<\/a> or completely replacing it, non-alcoholic drinks should be included in your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you\u2019re on a tight budget, this would be your best option \u2013 since serving alcohol can be a bit pricey. In addition, if you think about it, most of the guests will be driving and others just might not want to drink alcohol for medical or personal reasons. So be considerate, and offer alcohol-free drinks so that everyone can toast and be happy \u2013 without getting wasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-Alcoholic Drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of our recommendations of drinks to include in your sober reception:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Flavored Seltzers<\/strong>: Seltzers are also called soda water or carbonated water. There is a variety of store-bought soda water that is flavored but you can also make your own flavored seltzer. The flavor can be anything from berries, citrus, etc. You can just buy plain seltzer and make it to any flavor you want. <\/li>
2. Fruit Juices & Smoothies<\/strong>: What could be more healthy than making fresh fruit juice and smoothies for everyone. A very refreshing drink for any age.<\/li>
3. Limeade<\/strong>: A very easy and hydrating drink. Just mix water, limes, and sugar. Don’t forget lots of ice to make it more tasty and refreshing. <\/li>
4. Floats & Milkshakes<\/strong>: For the guests that want to satisfy their sweet tooths. A bit of ice cream won’t do any harm and perfect for young guests.<\/li>
5. Sodas<\/strong>: It is better to include the usual favorites or a variety for the guests to choose from. <\/li>
6. Iced Tea & Hot Tea<\/strong>: You can either buy ready to drink iced tea or make your own. On the other hand, some guests like some tea after a hearty meal. Make a corner that is available for them to make some hot tea. <\/li>
7. Coffee & Hot Chocolate<\/strong>: Best served during cold weathers especially if you’re planning on holding your wedding during winter. <\/li>
8. Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer<\/strong>: Sounds alcoholic but it’s actually not.<\/li>
9. Water<\/strong>: This is probably the safest, cheapest and healthiest drink that you can serve at your wedding. Although there are more choices that are fancier, water should always be available during the reception.<\/li>
10. Mocktails<\/strong>: You can just pick out your favorites and serve it or have it available at the bar. Below are some famous mocktail drinks that you can try out.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
