refreshing alcohol free drinks FRE Wine #shop

When I think Spring, I think warmer weather, sunshine, and the perfect ice cold cocktail to go along with my freshly grilled dinner. This year, however, I’ll be skipping the cocktails and grabbing a delicious “mocktail” instead, as this mama has a bun in the oven! If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding and still want to enjoy yourself at friend and family functions, I am really excited to share with you a few of the alcohol free drinks I’ve been making for our soirees with FRE Non-Alcoholic wines. 

I like FRE Wines because I can drink it on its own if I’m craving a glass or two of wine at the end of a gorgeous Spring day (and let’s be honest, what mother of a toddler isn’t craving a glass of wine by that time?!), but they also make great bases for some delicious non alcoholic beverages as well! 

 The only wine drink I had ever really made was Sangria. Which is great. It’s yummy and fruity and tastes delicious, but I wanted to experiment and discover some new drinks that would be great for the upcoming warm weather months. The following three FRE Wine “Mocktails”: a Chardonnay based Mojito, a Red Blend based mixed berry slushy, and a Chardonnay based Ginger Lime Spritzer, are all approved by both my pregnant self, and my beer loving husband – so you know they’ve gotta be good!

mocktail mojito FRE Wine drink for spring #shop

FRE Chardonnay Mojito with Lime, Mint and Agave

This is a deliciously light beverage, and one of my very favorites to make. Though I’m calling it a mojito “mocktail”, it is very reminiscent of a wine spritzer and super refreshing!
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 c chilled FRE Chardonnay (although this is delicious with FRE White Zinfandel too!)
  • 1/4 c chilled club soda
  • 1 tsp agave syrup
  • 2 lime wedges
  • 6 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes
Directions:
  1. Combine the mint, lime and agave in a glass, and *gently* muddle with a spoon or muddler.
  2. Add the wine first, then club soda, then ice, and stir. 
  3. Serve!

wine mocktail slushies #shop

Raspberry & Blueberry FRE Wine Slushies

These are basically a delicious elevated smoothie, and they make me feel like I’m super healthy every time I make them, because, hello – so much fruit! This is such an easy recipe to customize according to your tastes. I made a Raspberry and Blueberry combo because those are the fruits I was craving at the time, but you can try any mix of fruits you can think of: strawberry and peach, blueberry and mango, raspberry and mango, peach and raspberry – the options are only as endless as your cravings and imagination!
You also have the option of mixing up the FRE Wine that you use for this Wine Slushy recipe. I really want to try this next with FRE Chardonnay, because I think the light apple and tart citrus notes, with a peach or mango combination would taste divine! 
Ingredients:
  • 2.5 cups frozen raspberries
  • 2.5 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1.5 c FRE Red Blend
Directions:
  1. In a blender, combine the blueberries with 3/4 c FRE Red Blend and blend until smooth. Feel free to add more FRE depending on if you like your slushy a little less thick. 
  2. Empty frozen FRE blueberry slushy into glasses, leaving room for the peach slushy to go on top, and place them in the refrigerator or freezer to stay cool. 
  3. Rinse the blender vessel to remove the blueberry slushy remnants.
  4. Combine frozen raspberries with 3/4 c FRE Red Blend, and blend until smooth. Again, feel free to add a little more FRE if the consistency is too thick for you. 
  5. Empty the raspberry FRE slushy into the glasses, on top of the blueberry slushy. 
  6. Top with a piece of fruit and a fun straw, and serve!

Ginger FRE Wine Spritzer

Ok, I admit it, I love me some old-school wine spritzers. Everything about them screams sunshine and warm weather, and they’re totally the quintessential “mom drink”. I was totally surprised at how delicious these Ginger Beer and FRE Chardonnay alcohol free “mocktails” turned out – the ginger elevates the tart citrus flavors of the Chardonnay, and the addition of the lime juice brings it all deliciously together.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 c chilled FRE Chardonnay
  • 1/4 c chilled Ginger Beer
  • Juice from half a lime
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Ice Cubes
Directions: 
  1. Combine the FRE Chardonnay, then Ginger Beer, then lime juice in a glass, and stir. 
  2. Add ice cubes and lime wedges to garnish. 
  3. Service please!
These three recipes are just a few of the ways I’ve found to enjoy a delicious drink in the evenings with my friends and family. Just because I’m not drinking right now doesn’t mean I have to miss out on the fun thanks to FRE Alcohol-Removed Wines. I still get to indulge in a glass of wine or a great “mocktail” and even my friends who do drink have complimented me on my “delicious drinks” – so you know FRE has to be good!
The reason FRE wines taste so good is because of their special de-alcoholization process, after which less than one half of one percent of alcohol remains in the wine. FRE has this revolutionary spinning cone column that removes the alcohol, while still preserving their rich flavors and delicate fragrances of FRE. So, the final product is a deliciously fresh alcohol-removed beverage, with all the wonderful aromas and flavors of a premium wine, but with less than 0.5% alcohol and half the calories of traditional wine. Guilt-free indulgence at its best!

    I love mocktails, they are a great way to enjoy drinks without the dangers of alcohol! These are amazing and definitely worth trying. I normally come up with a list of refreshments for the summer, for me and my girls to enjoy. Thanks for these!

      Hi Michelle! I can't drink alcohol because I'm pregnant, so this way I still get the taste with out the dangerous alcohol component. I also know many people who are trying to cut back on their alcohol intake and they drink alcohol-free wine or beer so they still 'feel' like they are drinking, but it's easier for them to quit. Alcohol removed wine is beneficial to many people when you really think about it.
