      Many of them would work just as well without alcohol – the Very Cherry punch was actually non-alcoholic to begin with, we just added some rum 😉

    These sound good, but without alcohol – since I don’t drink. But fruity mocktails sound right up my alley!

      It was super yummy! And I even had pear vodka in my house already from another recipe, so I had to put it to good use!
