As more and more people are decreasing or eliminating the amount of alcohol they consume, it is always a good idea to have tasty non-alcoholic alternatives on hand for yourself or others. This is handy whether you're entertaining a group or providing a beverage for a neighbor who drops by. With St. Patrick's Day quickly approaching, there is no better time to broaden your beverage choices.
It is always good to have these non-alcoholic standbys available:
Variety of soda pop
Bottled water
Sparkling water (flavored or plain) or Club soda
The Non-alcoholic Bar
You may want to have these items on hand for a party:
Non-alcoholic Beer: There are many domestic and imported low alcohol beers with rich flavors. Remember, many of these have a small amount of alcohol; if you're trying to completely abstain from alcohol, these would not be good choices.
Sparkling Grape Juice: Looks like wine and adds elegance and taste to any gathering. Serve in a wine glass.
