It's coming up quick! Thanksgiving is just under a month away, Monday, October 13!
Its the perfect time for gathering with friends and family around the table, while you load up on turkey and pumpkin pie, but what are you drinking? More consumers are rethinking their relationship with alcohol, and offering non-alcoholic alternatives isn't just being considerate, it often can be the highlight of the evening.
Non-alcoholic drinks bring all the flavour, complexity, and celebration as their traditional counterparts, allowing everyone to fully enjoy their meal, conversation, and the long weekend ahead. You may be surprised at how many of your guests will happily choose a glass of alcohol-free sparkling wine, zero-proof cocktail, or a Canadian pressed apple cider. In fact, you may just discover your whole table is quietly embracing moderation!
Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, or heading to family or friends, here is our list of non-alcoholic drinks that we are bringing to Thanksgiving Dinner this year.
TÖST
Shop TÖST
TÖST is one of those bottles that makes people smile as soon as it’s poured. The crisp white tea base keeps it light, while cranberry and ginger bring a festive feel that's just right for the season. It has a way of cutting through the heaviness of a long meal, keeping things bright and lively at the table. This is a sparkling drink that doesn’t need to be compared to wine, it’s in a category of its own, and that’s what makes it fun.
