There is a lot of drinking that takes place on holidays, and especially St. Patrick’s Day.
For those who want a non-alcoholic alternative, Elizabeth Gascoigne joined “News All Day” to share fun options.
She’s the founder of Absence of Proof, hosting pop-up booze-free events so you can take a night off of drinking.
Gascoigne stopped drinking about a year ago due to health reasons.
She realized there were few social options in the city that didn’t involve alcohol, so she set out to change that.
At her events, she “tries to curate the same atmosphere as a bar” with fun music and good energy.
Here are two of the booze-free recipes that she made for NY1’s Ruschell Boone and Sally Ann Mosey.
Spicy margarita:
One slice of jalapeno
1/2 oz agave
1/2 oz lime juice
2 oz non-alcoholic tequila
Top with Mingle Mocktails Margarita Can
Garnish with lime wedge and jalapeno
French 75:
1 oz non-alcoholic gin
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz simple syrup
Top with Surely non-alcoholic wine
