What do you serve to drink for your holiday meals? We always drank wine but things have changed this year and alcoholic beverages are out. Any suggestions other than just water? All I can come up with is water with limes, lemons, or oranges but looking for suggestions. We drink iced tea but the family is divided and some want it sweet, some with no sweetener at all.

How about Tonic water with juice of your choice - Cranberry, Orange, Limeade (my kids favorite), etc. You get Fizz and can put in a wine glass if you want.

When i was a child, my mother served fresh apple cider from a local orchard. I could drink gallons of it.
Now, we have iced tea. My husband drinks it unsweetened and I put Splenda in mine. You can always serve unsweetened iced tea and offer sugar or sugar substitutes on the table and everyone can customize it to their taste.

Wassail
We would make one version warm with alcohol , red wine brandy, orange juice cranberry juice and mulling spices . Some would add ice and drink cold.
The wassail mixes that are premade are extremely sweet so we would make our own .
We would make a non alcohol version or Chai ice tea.

We serve Martinelli's Sparkling Cider at holiday dinners, as well as iced tea. For those who want their tea sweet, we provide sugar and also have lemon on hand. Also, our ice cubes for the tea are made with Fiji or other bottled water because they freeze so much clearer than even the Brita water cubes. The adults often have coffee with dessert.

If your family enjoys iced tea I would make that, one sweet one unsweetened. If you do not have time to make it on Thanksgiving Milo's is a good brand of tea.

Everyone gets to choose their beverage of choice (within reason) I have a selection including sparkling cider, sparkling flavored and unflavored water, ice tea, ginger ale, assorted soft drinks, wine etc.
