If you’re looking for the perfect non alcoholic green drink for St Patrick’s Day or any other occasion where the go-to color is green – you’ve come to the right place!
For those of you of a certain age (and perhaps ancestry), the idea of drinking anything but Guinness on St Patrick’s Day may seem laughable.
But there’s many reasons you may choose to avoid alcohol – for example, your physical and mental health, you simply don’t want to, you’re pregnant or you want something child-appropriate.
Whatever the reason or season, yay you.
When I first stopped drinking, coming up 20 years ago now, there was very little in the way of non alcoholic beverages. Think juice extracted from a limited range of fruits, and lemonade, coke and Fanta.
(I’m sure there were more options, but these were the crux of them).
Now there are so many delicious choices that even in this collection here you’d be hard-pressed to try them all. There’s Shamrock Shakes, green smoothies and matcha everywhere you look. There’s mocktail options too.
There’s even a peppermint concoction there if you want a non alcoholic green drink for another season.
Enjoy!
