Orange Rosemary Ginger Tonic

A Fresh, Alcohol Free Festive Drink That Supports Digestion and Energy

If you want something festive but fresh, this orange rosemary ginger tonic is a beautiful alcohol free option. It has a gentle warming kick from ginger, a citrus lift from orange and that unmistakable festive feel from rosemary.

It feels celebratory without being heavy, sugary or sleep disrupting, which makes it a great choice during perimenopause and menopause when alcohol and sugar can hit harder than they used to.

Why this mocktail works so well

This drink is light and refreshing, but it still supports the body rather than working against it.

  • Orange juice provides natural sweetness and vitamin C without needing added sugar

  • Ginger supports digestion and gives a gentle warming effect

  • Rosemary adds aroma and a festive feel without sweetness

  • Sparkling water or tonic keeps it refreshing and hydrating
