Your Alcohol-free New Year's Celebration

New Year's celebration is a great time of rejoice the end and beginning of a new year, and we love to celebrate with a bang, but we often tend to go overboard and drink our nights away with alcohol; not this year! This year, you want to start fresh, alcohol free, healthy, and responsible. You don't' want to go wild and puke on your friends cat or break your host's prized possessions. How wild as that all sounds and stories that will result for years ahead beginning with 'be careful, remember the year you...' Where is the fun if you wont of the unexpected? Well, this year's New Year's celebration will be different, alcohol free.

First, you need drinks! Drinks are always fun. I do not mean buy some cans of soda from the store, I mean real mixed drinks that have no alcohol. Here are a few great recommendations to look into. Virgin piña colada is a sweat drink to have at the party. These take some time and are more difficult to make, so it is best for a small party. For larger parties, mix something up in a punch bowl. Here's a common recipe:

• 2 cups Water
• 2 cups Sugar
• 2 cups Grape Juice
• 1 cup Orange Juice
• 2 quarts Ginger Ale

This recipe gives a nice bubbly feel like champagne. At the strike of midnight, pop open that classic apple cider from the bottle for that great feeling of the bottle to celebrate.

This party now needs to add the entertainment. You have people and you have drinks, now you need some interaction with people. Your guests may enjoy talking to other members of your party, but let's break up social circles and close friends. The best way is with a party game. Mafia is a great party game. The game is complex enough to have fun with party members, but simple enough that everyone can participate. The rules can be found available with a quick search. This game roughly lasts an hour, and this is just enough time to get people deeply involved in the party and mixing with new people.

By creating a social atmosphere, you will have a great party. Keep people social! The key is to make people interact with new people and share new experiences and it can be done without alcohol to create a great experience for the new year.
