With Dry January now fully underway we wanted to give you all a blog to inspire you to either keep it up or join in – it’s never too late! However, Dry January aside, it is worth considering that some of your guests will not be drinking alcohol for a variety of reasons on your big day but they will still want something special to drink. Mocktails are a great way to create fun, pretty but also tasty alternatives to boozy cocktails!
Here are a few of our favourite handpicked mocktail recipes that all your guests will want!
