It helps to know that there are other people out there who don’t let their drinking choices flatten their fun.

Blake Lively, for instance, loves to party but doesn’t necessarily like to get boozed up.

As the actress says, “I don’t drink because I don’t like the effects of alcohol, but I like being a part of it.”

Especially now as the silly season approaches, choosing not to drink can leave you feeling a little alienated and like you’re “not really a part of it”.

That’s a big reason why Lively created her own line of non-alcoholic mixers, dishing out advice about the perfect mocktail-making for any occasion as well.

The craft of a good mixer, which Lively totally backs, is a flavourful drink that can be enjoyed on its own or with alcohol mixed in if someone so chooses.

That’s why we are such big fans of local bespoke mixer provider, Fitch & Leedes, which carries a range of drinks that are perfect on their own or as a delicious cocktail mixer.

For the non-alcoholic drinkers out there, it is nice to know that there is something a little more elevated than just a Sprite to drink on a fun occasion.

That’s where Fitch & Leedes Moments come in, which are non-alcoholic versions of a few favourite cocktails:

There’s the Blushing Mimosa without the zing, the Pink G&T without the G, the Shirley Temple as-is, or the Island Fish Bowl without the boozy punch.

For something more mixable, there’s the Classic range, which includes the zesty Classics Lime Twist, the tropical Classics Passionade, the spicey Classics Ginger Beer, and the bittersweet Classics Rock Shandy.

Taking a page from Lively’s mixologist book, she makes sure she is in control at the party with a few elegant tips, per PEOPLE:
