Have you tried serving mocktails at your Christmas party? Well, there’s a lot of reasons why you should. Here’s a list I know you’ll enjoy:
1. They are fizzy and bubbly – Sparkling wines are perfect for happy occasions such as Christmas because of all the fizz and bubbles they make as you pour in your glass.
2. They are healthy and non-alcoholic – Looks like it’s alcoholic but it’s not. Both kids and adults can enjoy drinking sparkling wines and even pregnant moms too! Heart-healthy and delicious, Welch’s Sparkling Juices are pressed from the freshest Concord and Niagara grapes across America by farmer-families. This 150-year tradition of Real Grape Goodness has made Welch’s one of the most loved beverages in the world, especially by Filipinos who enjoy organizing great moments with friends and families.
3. Can be mixed with other beverages to make unique bubbly mocktails. You can check out so many easy mocktail recipes here.
4. Can be mixed with favorite juices to make fruity and fizzy drinks.
Here’s my own recipe of what I call Tweelselmom’s Fruity and Sparkly Holiday Mocktail. I’m sure you’ll love this as it only requires Sprite and melons!
You will need:
1 bottle Welch’s Sparkling White Grape Juice Cocktail – chilled
1-2 cans of Sprite – chilled
1 cup each of frozen watermelon and melon balls
mint leaves
sliced limes as garnishing
Mix Welch’s Sparking grape juice with Sprite in a glass 1:1 ratio
Add in frozen watermelon and melon balls
Add 1-2 mint leaves
Garnish with fresh lime

5. Perfect to pair with appetizers or main dishes. Sparkling juices are perfect with pastries, tapas, sushi or salmon. I find savory dishes taste better when I eat them with a glass of chilled sparkling juice.
6. They look good on the feast table. Any table will look good with some festive wine bottles on it. It’s the perfect time to bring out your mom’s or grandma’s precious champagne glasses.
7. They are easy on the budget. A bottle of wine costs only P268 last time I saw it in Shopee, very affordable compared to alcoholic drinks.
8. They don’t expire for a very long time. You can store unopened sparkling juices even for a year so if you got more than enough this year, you can still store them for next year!
9. They can be used for cooking. There are cakes that use sparkling grape juice as ingredient like in this cake recipe.
10. They can be given as gifts.
Each bottle of Sparkling Juice is tastefully prepared and packaged, making for an excellent and convenient Christmas gift.
