Let’s be honest—holiday cocktails are fun… until they’re not. The late nights, sugar overload, and alcohol-induced sleep sabotage can leave even the healthiest among us feeling foggy and wide awake at 3 a.m. And for many women in perimenopause or menopause, sleep is already a precious commodity.
Here’s the good news: you can keep the festive vibe without the hangover and without sacrificing your ability to wake up rested. The modern mocktail trend isn’t about missing out; it’s about feeling good the next morning too.
Here are a few ways to sip smarter so you can celebrate and still wake up feeling like yourself, your best self that is!
Five Hangover-Free Mocktails to Try
1. Ginger Mint Fizz
Ingredients:
- 2 oz fresh ginger juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 4 oz sparkling water
- Squeeze of lime
- Fresh mint
Why it works
Ginger eases digestion and can help with that “holiday dinner” bloat. Mint makes it feel festive without needing any alcohol.
2. Berry Unwind Nightcap
Featuring Tattersall Unwind
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Tattersall Unwind
- 2 oz tart cherry juice
- 2 oz. sparkling water
- Rosemary + frozen berries
Why it works
Tattersall Unwind uses hemp-derived cannabinoids in precise, controlled amounts to gently support relaxation. Unwind also contains adaptogens like reishi and passionflower to help you naturally relax. Tart cherry juice contains melatonin to help you optimize your circadian rhythm. Together they’re a modern twist on a calming nightcap.
For adults 21+ only. Remember, to start low and sip slow.
3. Citrus Uplift Spritz
Featuring Tattersall Uplift
Ingredients
- 1 oz Tattersall Uplift
- 1 oz fresh orange juice
- 3 oz sparkling water
- Orange and mint
Why it works
Tattersall Uplift has a clean citrus flavor and helps you get into that upbeat social mood thanks to the THC and lion’s mane and rhodiola rosea combo. Tattersall Functional Beverages use nanoemulsion technology for a faster, more predictable outcome. Great for brunch or early evening social time.
4. Spiced Cranberry Cooler
Ingredients
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz lime
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 oz. Sparkling water
- Cinnamon + cranberries
Why it works
Antioxidants plus cozy holiday flavor with zero next-day headache for all that holiday shopping. Win-win.
5. Coconut Calm Mocktail
Ingredients
- 3 oz coconut water
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- Lime
Why it works
Natural electrolytes in coconut water help to keep you hydrated which is key in winter (as much as summer) because many of us forget to drink when we don’t feel hot. This is key for keeping your cortisol levels calm.
Why sleep matters even more right now
Alcohol may help you fall asleep at first, but it blocks the deep, restorative stages of sleep your body so badly needs. That’s why so many people in midlife are rethinking alcohol during holidays.
A functional mocktail, calming ingredients, and a gentle wind-down routine support real rest.
Try pairing your nightcap with:
- a warm lavender shower or bath
- magnesium-rich snack
- putting your phone (and all screens!) to bed an hour before you put your head on the pillow
Bottom line
Whether you’re managing your hormones, supporting your sleep, or simply wanting to feel energized the next day, sipping smarter really is the new holiday ritual. Keep the celebrations coming, and enjoy each and every flavorful sip, just skip the hangover.
