5 Non Alcoholic Cocktails for a Hen Party

Today the term “Hen Party” automatically conjures up images of drunken debauchery, naked butlers and over the top fancy dress. Although this is still the case for many hen events, there has been an increasing shift towards a more chilled environment, with the onus more on a female bonding session – an opportunity to catch up with old pals and talk about childhood or those fun college days.  Although alcohol is often the pivot around everything else revolves, the steady recent increase of people who have decided to abstain from alcohol has seen hen organisers seeking an alternative range of beverages, with little or no alcohol content.
