Delicious, delightful and alcohol free

(NC)—Sipping wine or champagne may be a holiday tradition, but times are changing. Whether you’re watching your waistline or acting as designated driver, finding delicious alternatives to alcoholic beverages is becoming increasingly important to many Canadians.

The next time you’re the host of a festive get-together; offer guests some non-alcoholic drinks that are delicious and cheerful. When it comes to festive beverages without alcohol, iced teas can be a perfect solution. Iced teas are available in green, red and white varieties and garnished with exotic fruit, they truly take on the holiday spirit.

If you’re looking for something a little fancier, a Pineapple Green Tea Caipirinha is a classy addition to any holiday party. This Brazilian drink is a showstopper and poised to be the next “it” libation. Impress your guests by being ahead of the trend. The recipe below is easy and delicious.

Party hint: To keep the Pineapple Green Tea Caipirinha cool without diluting its flavours, make it ahead and then freeze a portion of it in an ice cube tray. Just before serving, drop the Pineapple Green Tea Caipirinha ice cubes into glasses or punch bowl.

11/2 cups fresh pineapple juice

6 cups Nestea Natural Lemon Flavour Green Tea

6 lemon wedges

fresh pineapple wedges for garnishing

4. Garnish each glass with a pineapple wedge

Quick tip: Use an iced tea made from real tea leaves so you’re getting those natural tea antioxidants. Antioxidants are a factor in the maintenance of good health – an important consideration when you’re running around at this busy time of year.
