The holidays can feel, well, a lot. Between jam-packed schedules, late nights, rich meals, and endless social obligations, it’s easy to feel drained before the season even really begins. And what we drink often gets overlooked. Most holiday beverages fall into one of two categories: too sugary or too strong. Neither does your body any favors when you’re already running on empty.

That’s where these mineral-rich mocktails come in. Minerals like magnesium, potassium, and sodium are small but mighty. They support hydration, steady energy, digestion, and even help calm your nervous system when things feel overstimulated. These drinks are simple to make, gentle on your system, and don’t require perfection.

They are also perfect for those nights when you want to skip alcohol or when it feels like there’s just one too many opportunities to pour a glass of wine. Whether your digestion is a little off, your sleep feels patchy, or your energy dips faster than you’d like, these mocktails offer hydration, trace minerals, and a sense of calm without adding more stress.

The recipes aren’t fancy, but they work with your body instead of against it, giving you a small, nourishing pause in the midst of holiday chaos. A simple sip can help you feel steadier, more grounded, and a little more nourished, even on the busiest of evenings.
