Each beverage features delicious fall produce like apples, beets, cranberries and pumpkin. With recipes like our Ginger-Beet Juice and our Turmeric Latte, these tasty drinks are perfect for anyone looking for options for Sober October. 01 of 17 Herbal Chamomile Health Tonic Immunity-boosting ingredients—ginger, lemon and rosemary—are steeped with soothing chamomile tea and honey for a homemade health tonic. While the drink may help when you're sick, it's not a quick fix. Drinking wellness tonics, like this one, regularly over time may help boost your immune system. Serve hot, room temperature or cold.

View Recipe 05 of 17 Apple-Ginger Moscow Mule Mocktail Jacob Fox Legend has it that the Moscow Mule was created when three entrepreneurs—a vodka businessman, a ginger-beer maker and a copper-mug saleswoman—were down on their luck. The copper mug may seem decorative, but some argue it's the key to keeping your mule colder longer, or that it even adds a bit of flavor. We love this zero-proof version all the same in any ol' glass.

View Recipe 07 of 17 Elderberry Elixir Mocktail This effervescent mocktail features immune-boosting elderberry syrup alongside anti-inflammatory turmeric and a dose of vitamin C from orange juice. Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor. Depending on the sweetness of your elderberry syrup, you may want to use more or a little less.

Spinach is rich in vitamin A, folate, calcium and iron, and pairing it with vitamin C-rich lemon juice helps your body absorb the iron from the leafy greens.
