Countdown to Pride: Mocktails in Every Color of the Rainbow

It’s two days until Pride, and I’m here to give you some beverage ideas and things to add to your grocery list ahead of any Pride gatherings where there might be sober folks! Whether you’re sober yourself or just have people in your life who don’t drink or go through periods of not drinking, there’s no reason the only nonalcoholic options on hand have to be canned seltzer! Sober pals will appreciate a little extra effort. And if you’re headed to a friend’s place and unsure if they’ll have anything fun for you to drink as a sober person, you should feel empowered to bring your own ingredients for a great mocktail or suggest alternative options to your friend! I love doing mixology at home, and any time I come up with a new elixir, I also think of an N/A version in case anyone requests! Below, you’ll find an array of mocktail recipes that fit different flavor profiles but are mostly made with simple ingredients you can pick up at the grocery store. They’re organized by color, with drinks in every shade of the rainbow, because listen, sometimes I just have to lean into being corny when it comes to Pride. Live laugh lesbian, and cheers queers!!!!!!!!
