Holidays & Occasions Baby Shower 17 Festive, Non-Alcoholic Drinks For A Baby Shower By Southern Living Editors Updated on November 30, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Greg DuPree; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Styling: Christine Keely A baby shower is a fun, tender celebration that warrants an equally festive baby shower punch or drink. We love these non-alcoholic drink recipes and are sure your guest of honor will too. Ginger-Orange Mocktails are ideal for a mid-morning shower and might just be our easiest shower punch recipe. No one will be missing the mimosas when this fresh sipper is served. We absolutely love the color of Berry Splash and the fresh mint makes it even more refreshing. Punch recipes like Lemon-Lime-Rosemary Punch and Cran-Raspberry-Vanilla Punch are Southern shower classics—you'll recognize them once you see the mounds of floating sorbet or sherbet on top. Our Sparkling Cherry Limeade is just the fix the mama-to-be needs if she's missing her favorite margarita on the rocks. Choose any of these 17 recipes as a signature drink, but also have a batch of our Classic Sweet Tea to offer guests as well. 01 of 17 Ginger-Orange Mocktails Jennifer Davick This refreshing drink is perfect for shower brunches or luncheons. Mix together a container of orange juice, a bottle of chilled ginger ale, and a can of chilled pineapple juice and you'll have a delicious mocktail ready for sipping in less than 5 minutes. 02 of 17 Sparkling Cherry Limeade Iain Bagwell; Prop Styling: Annette Joseph; Food Styling: Cynthia Groseclose If your soon-to-be mama of honor is missing margs, she's going to love this virgin drink.

Lemon and basil keep things light and refreshing, making this a menu must for warmer weather. 04 of 17 Classic Sweet Tea Alison Miksch You can't go wrong with a classic. This recipe is perfectly sweetened with simple syrup. A pinch of baking soda prevents a bitter taste. 05 of 17 Strawberry-Mint Tea Alison Miksch; Food Styling: Torie Cox; Prop Styling: Ginny Branch Though it has no tea leaves, this drink quenches with muddled strawberries topped with sparkling water. Before adding the mint, slap the leaves between your hands. This will release the oils into the drink. 06 of 17 Lemonade Iced Tea Jennifer Davick Think of this as a big-batch version of the Arnold Palmer. Made with two Southern favorites, it's guaranteed to be a hit. Garnish with fresh mint and lemon slices. 07 of 17 Bourbon-Peach Iced Tea Antonis Achilleos; Prop Stylist: Kay E. Clarke; Food Stylist: Karen Rankin You can have classic iced tea and everyone will be happy. Add fresh peaches, and everyone will be raving. For summer baby showers, this tea sweetened with fresh peaches is the sipper you need. Simply leave out the bourbon to celebrate the mom-to-be. 08 of 17 Berry Splash Beth Dreiling Hontzas This pretty, not-too-sweet drink is full of berry flavor. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking. We didn't mention this in the recipe, but we love garnishing each glass with a few blueberries. 09 of 17 Vanilla-Rosemary Lemonade Ralph Anderson This isn’t your ordinary lemonade. Vanilla and rosemary add an unexpected, sophisticated touch. Though it might take time to squeeze all those lemons, you’ll notice the effort. Trust us—it's worth it. 10 of 17 Big-Batch Mulled Cider Victor Protasio; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Styling: Christine Keely This party-perfect mulled cider will keep guests warm and in good spirits during cold weather.

White cranberry juice creates a sweet-tart taste. Club soda adds fizz. 15 of 17 Tarragon-Hibiscus Gin Spritzer Greg DuPree; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Styling: Christine Keely Make this recipe without alcohol for a refreshing spritzer.
