Low FODMAP, Low Effort…but High Glamour Party Drinks!

2 Dec

The party season is just around the corner, and for me, the secret to stress‑free hosting is simple: do the prep early, then kick back and enjoy the good company once the guests arrive.

These drinks tick all the boxes — festive, fuss‑free, and guaranteed crowd‑pleasers. Whether you’re raising a glass of bubbles or opting for something alcohol‑free, the ‘sparkling’ options bring all the glamour without compromise.

But if your inner host is more “Cocktail‑era Tom Cruise” than calm planner, you’ll love shaking things up with our low FODMAP cocktails and mocktails - find those recipes here.

**Ingredients (Mix and Match):**

**Fresh or frozen fruit:**
⅓ cup raspberries, 5 medium strawberries (halved if large) or ⅓ cup frozen cranberries
**Sparkling:**
Chilled sparkling water or 150 ml sparkling wine
**Herb:**
Rosemary stick or basil sprig

Method

The night before the party, add the fruit to glasses. Add tap water to cover - unless you want some colour (and flavour) from the fruit in your final drink then just fill to half the depth of the fruit. Stick in a sprig of Rosemary or Basil and freeze.

Rosemary looks most festive, the basil flavour combines well with strawberries.

Once guests arrive, top up with their choice of sparkling and let the bubbles and guests effervesce!

Note the maximum low FODMAP serving sizes of fruit are

Cranberries: ½ cup

Raspberries: ⅓ cup

Strawberries: 5 medium

If you are having a refill, just top up the sparkling, not the fruit.
