Want To Stay Sober In 2024? How To Host A Teetotal New Year’s Party
Has it been a bit of a mad 2023? Are you trying to take it a bit easy? Perhaps you’re looking at a healthier you, a richer you, or simply a lifestyle that doesn’t lean so heavily on the boozy drinks. You might be worried about what going sober could do to your social life – but there’s no need to panic! Teetotal events are on the rise and more and more people are saying no to alcoholic drinks without having to fear missing out at all. If you are planning on hosting a New Year’s party this year, here’s how you can do it without alcohol.
Invite The Right People
The “right people” doesn’t mean other non-drinkers, necessarily. Rather, the right people for your teetotal New Year’s party means people that respect that this is an alcohol-free party. Anyone that tries to sneak beers or a bottle of vodka into your no-alcohol zone is probably better off at a different party. No matter the reason you want this party to be a sober one, there may be some people who just don’t accept that, so it’s vital that you are open about this beforehand and make sure that everyone on the guest list is onboard.
Mocktails And Other Delicious Drinks
Now onto the fun bit – the drinks themselves! No alcohol doesn’t mean no fun and it certainly doesn’t mean no taste! If you are a fan of mocktails, you can recreate virtually any cocktail and the options are limited. You can go all out on the fresh ingredients for a Mimosa or a Mojito and no one will even notice the difference. But if you feel as if drinks that too closely resemble the real thing might make you uncomfortable or upset some of your guests, you can stay away from mocktails and instead have fun with any other kind of drink, including lemonades, colas, throwback fizzy drinks like Cherryade – the sky is the limit.
Amazing Food!
Who are we kidding? No party is complete with a great selection of snacks! Not only should your sober New Year’s party mean everyone makes it into 2024 without a horrible hangover, but it should also be a fantastic opportunity to give your guests a great meal while they’re having fun with their colleagues or friends. So go all out on the crisps and dip, get in some cold meats and chocolates, and make sure there is something for everyone.
With the right attitude, nice drinks, and fabulous food, your alcohol-free New Year’s party is bound to be a massive success!
Get In Touch
If you, a friend or family, or a colleague is teetotal, a sober New Year’s party is very doable – you just need to swap out the cocktails for mocktails! For non-drinkers, parties can be tricky to navigate and they can end up feeling left out, but you can make sure this doesn’t happen by hosting a totally sober celebration.
