Whether you’re newly pregnant, breastfeeding, or just skipping alcohol this year


You still deserve something that feels special in your glass. These Thanksgiving mocktails bring all the cozy, festive vibes—with none of the morning regret.

Perfect for hosting, sharing, or sipping quietly while everyone else argues about football.

‍

1. ☕ Apple Pie in a Mug — Warm & Comforting

‍

This cozy drink tastes like dessert in liquid form. It’s the ultimate post-dinner treat (or, honestly, before-dinner treat).

You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup warm apple cider
  • 2 teaspoons caramel sauce or maple syrup
  • Dash of cinnamon + nutmeg
  • A splash of oat milk or cream
  • Whipped cream + crushed graham crackers for topping

Make It:
Warm cider and spices on the stove. Stir in caramel and a splash of milk. Pour into a mug, top with whipped cream and graham crumbs, and pretend it’s pie.

🧡 Bonus: Add a cinnamon stick for a little extra “hostess energy.”

‍

2. ✹ Cranberry Sparkle — Fresh & Festive

‍

Crisp, tart, and beautiful on the table—this mocktail feels like something you’d order at a fancy restaurant (but takes 30 seconds to make).

You’ll Need:

  • œ cup cranberry juice
  • œ cup sparkling water or ginger ale
  • A squeeze of lime
  • Fresh cranberries or rosemary sprig for garnish

Make It:
Combine juice and sparkling water over ice. Add lime and garnish with cranberries or rosemary for a pop of color.

đŸ«¶ Tip: Make a pitcher version for the dinner table—just multiply the ingredients and toss in a few orange slices.

‍

3. 🍼 Pumpkin Cream Float — Sweet & Silky

‍

For those who love a little drama (and dessert) in their drink. It’s basically a PSL meets root beer float.

You’ll Need:

  • œ cup pumpkin purĂ©e
  • 1 cup milk or oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Dash of cinnamon and vanilla
  • Scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional but highly encouraged)

Make It:
Blend everything (except the ice cream) until smooth and frothy. Pour into a glass and top with a scoop of ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream.

đŸ„§ Mom hack: If you’re making pie anyway, use a spoonful of leftover filling—it’s the same flavor magic.

‍

Final Sip 🍂

‍

Thanksgiving is about gratitude, comfort, and connection—not cocktails. Whether you’re sneaking sips between diaper changes or hosting the whole family, these drinks make the moment feel special (and totally pregnancy-safe).

Share them, toast with them, or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here.
