We spend so much time picking wines out for the big holiday meals that we forget about those folks at our table who don’t imbibe. Usually we stick the kids with the same old stuff – juice, water or milk. Then there are the adults who don’t drink and are stuck with a can of soda or some ice water. Don’t they deserve something special, too?
Celebrate with sparkling juice
One suggestion is serving sparkling juice drinks like R.W. Knudsen Family® brand of celebratory beverages, which come in champagne-style bottles. The bottle don’t have corks, just screw tops, but that makes it easier to store an open bottle in the refrigerator.
These non-alcoholic, sparkling beverages help you celebrate in style, and like all R.W. Knudsen products, they don’t contain added sugar, artificial flavors, or preservatives. They even have two organic flavors, Sparkling Organic Apple and Sparkling Organic Pear, a Kosher variety Sparkling Kosher Grape, and several others to choose from like:
This time a year, they’re also on sale and may be cheaper than buying Martinelli’s brand of sparkling juices. My supermarket (King Soopers, a Kroger store) had a BOGO sale on them, so I stocked up and may go back and get more. Not only are they good to serve guests who don’t drink, but they’re delicious to have for a weekend brunch or holiday breakfast as well.
R.W. Knudsen recently released a Sparkling Pomegranate variety, which is delicious. My daughter, Lucie, and I shared a bottle last night with dinner. (We have colds and need all the healthy juice we can get.) It was sweet enough for kids but not so sweet that adults would get turned off. Lucie and I agree - more please!
