Raise a Glass This Season With These 12 Lightened-Up Cocktail Recipes

If you're planning on throwing back a few at the office holiday party (or any holiday party, for that matter), it can't hurt to partake in a healthier cocktail choice. These festive cocktail recipes that swap the syrups for fresh juice and all-natural sweeteners, the sugary mixes for superfood-charged ingredients, and the high-alcohol-content liquors for low-proof spirits will not only taste better but also prevent that dreaded next-day hangover. Cheers!
