Are their "smart and clean" cocktails?

[Kierstin]

Hi friends. I'm wondering about adult beverages. Holidays are coming and I wanted to prepare festive alcoholic cocktails for friends. Are there any concoctions that are cleaner than others?

Something like fresh juiced cucumber or melon with Hendrick's gin and maybe a little lime. :) Anything with fresh juice is better than a processed sugary alternative. Mulled cider wines are nice too, a mix of red wine, apple cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange slices simmering on the stove or warmed in a crock pot - makes the house smell yum too.

The mulled cider wines sound delightful. Thank you for sharing, Michelle.
