Virgin Vegan Eggnog Recipe

Virgin Vegan Eggnog Recipe - zero-proof-shop
Along with being suited for vegans, this zero-proof vegan eggnog is great for those who find classic eggnog overly rich and hard to stomach.

A virgin vegan eggnog is delicious. Yes, it isn't technically eggnog since it contains no eggs, but this version has all the qualities we love in the traditional holiday beverage. Full-fat coconut milk combined with almond milk and blended cashews give this eggnog richness and mouthfeel, maple syrup (a naturally vegan sweetener) brings the sweet and the spices add complexity and warmth. Along with being suited for vegans, this zero-proof vegan eggnog is great for those who find classic eggnog overly rich and hard to stomach. This recipe is very easy to make. To save time, soak the cashews in advance and make the eggnog well before you plan to serve it. The colder it gets, the better it tastes. Lastly, do not forget to finish each glass with a cinnamon stick, if you have them on hand, or a light dusting of your favorite ground spice to make this "eggnog" super festive.

Café du Monde Non-Alcoholic Martini

With espresso martinis all the rage, we wanted to look to other regional coffees for inspiration. This bittersweet non-alcoholic drink is named after the 24 hour café in New Orleans famous for serving piping hot beignets buried under drifts of powdered sugar alongside distinctively bitter chicory coffee.

Kristin’s tribute to A Tribe Called Quest, Electric Relaxation is a delicious, non-alcoholic Boulevardier. The Boulevardier is a Negroni variation that substitutes bourbon for gin. Still bitter and bracing, but with a smoky roundness that eases you into cooler weather.

Non-Alcoholic French 75 Recipe

The cocktail of choice in the movie Casablanca, the flirtatious French 75 looks glamorous but is easy to make. The original was named after a field gun used by the French army in World War I, as it was so strong you'd feel like you'd been shelled the night before. This non-alcoholic version packs all the flavor punch but won't leave you with a concussive headache.
