Dry January Drink Ideas

Discovering tasty alcohol-free drink options is a delightful journey, especially during Dry January or for the sober curious. If you’re familiar with The Five-Bottle Bar concept, you’ll be thrilled to find a plethora of virgin alternatives. While classics like soda and citrus are always a hit, Jessica Schacht has curated a collection of recipes to elevate your booze-free drinks game. With the rising availability of non-alcoholic gin, you can easily craft Gin Sours, Tom Collins, and Gimlets—adapting any gin-based recipe. Just a friendly tip: when using non-alcoholic gin in sours, it’s best to skip the egg whites. Additionally, Crodino, a wonderful non-alcoholic substitute for Campari, is readily available in Italian delis. Its charming packaging and versatility make it perfect for crafting a fantastic spritz or enjoying it on the rocks. Embrace the zero-proof alcohol experience with these delightful alternatives.
