    25 Dairy-Free Holiday Drink Recipes to Make the Season Special

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on November 14, 2020 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes, In The News, News

    We’ve talked a lot about holiday food, from our Classic Dairy-Free Thanksgiving Menu to our ginormous collection of Dairy-Free Pie Recipes. But what about the drinks? Every year, we like to whip up a special beverage or two, and do a toast to the season. It’s created quite a collection. So I’ve gathered them together into this round up of dairy-free holiday drink recipes. They include both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

    Dairy-Free Holiday Drink Recipes with vegan and alcohol-free options - eggnogs, martinis, lattes, ciders, and more

    25 Dairy-Free Holiday Drink Recipes to Make the Season Special

    This list includes dairy-free nogs, seasonal lattes, warm ciders, and so much more. Most of these drinks can be made with or without alcohol – it’s your choice!

    Downward Facing Dairy-Free Eggnog

    This is traditional, from-scratch, eggnog, made with spices, eggs, and coconut milk, instead of dairy. If you need egg-free, don’t worry, we have more nog options in the round up!

    Downward Facing Dairy-Free Nog

    Dairy-Free Coquito 

    It’s a bit like eggnog, only better! This rich, coconut beverage can be made with or without eggs. We chose no eggs, but lots of warm, delicious, creamy flavors.

    Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte (Starbucks Copycat!) (alcohol-free)

    This is it. A homemade version of Starbucks’ infamous PSL, made dairy free. The recipe includes an easy pumpkin spice sauce that you can use for other recipes.

    Cranberry Moscow Mule

    Nothing says the holidays like ginger beer, cranberry juice … and a splash of vodka!

    Classic German Glühwein

    This hot wine holds a special place in my memories, from the time I spent in Austria. It’s served at ski resorts, Christmas markets, and all the cafes around town during the cold seasons.

    Classic German Glühwein Recipe to Warm the Soul this Winter Season - a naturally dairy-free, vegan, allergy-friendly hot mulled wine. Great for holiday parties or a cold weather warmer! Traditional to Austria and Germany

    Cranberry Fizz Cocktail

    I love the look of this Santa-inspired drink. The “fizz” is from pasteurized egg white, so it’s dairy-free, but not vegan.

    Spiced Cider Punch (alcohol-free option)

    For a big infusion of flavor, try this delicious punch. It’s made with fresh apple cider, ginger beer, citrus, spices, and more.

    Dairy-Free Gingerbread Latte (Starbucks Copycat!) (alcohol-free)

    Our list of dairy-free holiday drink recipes would not be complete without a gingerbread latte! Sarah created this last year, and it has been VERY well received.

    This is a decadent dessert nog that’s best served cold.

    Butter Pecan Iced Coffee (alcohol-free)

    You can actually enjoy this beverage hot or cold. The key is the easy, homemade, buttery pecan creamer that you’ll whip up to make it.
