Festive Gut-Friendly Mocktails for the Holidays

Holiday cocktails may be fun in the moment—but they’re tough on your gut, sleep, and energy. Alcohol irritates digestion, disrupts the gut microbiome, and leaves you drained the next day.

Mocktails, on the other hand, are festive, delicious, and can even support your gut health—especially when you add in functional nutrients. Here are three gut-friendly holiday mocktails featuring The Miracle Worker, Gut Soother, and Sunshine Vitamin D + K.
