LITTLETON, MA – November 09, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
As home cooks prepare for holiday gatherings, Cestari is highlighting simple, alcohol-free beverage combinations that can be prepared at the table using a single tool already in its catalog. With many guests seeking festive options beyond cocktails and wine, the company is drawing attention to easy infused drinks suited for both warm and chilled service.
The centerpiece of these seasonal suggestions is the Cestari glass infuser pitcher, which accommodates hot or cold beverages. A removable tube inside the pitcher holds fruit, herbs, cinnamon sticks, or vanilla beans, allowing flavors to steep gradually. The reservoir can be refilled without taking out the tube contents, and the pitcher’s tall, slim profile is designed to fit inside a refrigerator door for cold storage between servings.
Three straightforward combinations illustrate how the pitcher can be used throughout the holiday season. The first pairs cranberry, orange slices, and a sprig of rosemary in cold water for a tart, fragrant option that complements savory meals. The second warms apple cider with cinnamon sticks, offering a comforting drink for colder evenings. The third combines sliced pear, fresh ginger, and vanilla beans in either hot or cold water, producing a mild, aromatic result that suits a range of palates.
“The holidays bring together guests of every age, and not everyone wants an alcoholic drink,” said Susan MacDowell, founder of Cestari. “These combinations give hosts something interesting to offer that still feels festive, and the pitcher does the work by letting the flavors develop on their own.”
Infused water and warmed cider require no special skills, which makes them practical for busy hosts managing multiple dishes. Because the infuser tube separates the solid ingredients from the liquid, guests can pour a clear drink without loose fruit or herbs in their glass. The same pitcher moves from countertop to refrigerator and back, reducing the number of containers needed during a gathering.
“A single tool that handles both hot cider and chilled fruit water simplifies entertaining,” MacDowell added. “Hosts can set it on the table, refill it as needed, and keep the focus on their guests rather than on constant preparation.”
These holiday drink recipes reflect a broader interest in beverages that are easy to assemble and adaptable to individual tastes. The combinations can be adjusted based on what is already in the kitchen, and the same approach works well beyond the holidays for everyday hydration or weekend meals. Cinnamon, citrus, and seasonal fruit remain widely available during the colder months, making the suggestions accessible to most households.
