While hot chocolate, eggnog and punches often have lots of calories and not much else going for them, we’ve lightened up some of winter’s favorite beverages and created twists on others to pack an antioxidant punch. So impress your guests and mix up a new cocktail—or mocktail—at your next winter gathering.

Healthy Winter Beverage Tips

• Bottled ginger juice (pressed gingerroot) adds the taste of fresh ginger without the work of mincing or grating. Use it to flavor drinks, stir-fries, marinades or anywhere you’d use fresh ginger. Find it in specialty stores or online at gingerpeople.com.

• Citrus fruits at room temperature give the most juice. Before juicing, roll the fruit on the counter, pressing down with your hand. If the recipe calls for both zest and juice, grate the zest before squeezing the juice.
