Hey, Reader!

How's your month going? January is a bit of a mixed bag for me. It's hard to let go of the holiday festivities, but I'm also ready for the clean slate of a new month (and a new year).

January is also an opportunity many seize to cut back on their alcohol consumption. With so many non-alcoholic cocktails, zero-proof spirits and alcohol-free wine and beer, you won't be stuck sipping just soda.

Whether you're participating in Dry January or just looking for something on the lighter side after the holiday season, these drinks are for you:

ginger beer mocktail

Bright, zesty, and refreshingly spicy, this citrus ginger beer mocktail is a vibrant twist on non-alcoholic drinks. Featuring the bold flavors of fresh orange, lemon and lime juice paired with the warmth of ginger beer and a hint of orange bitters, it’s a mocktail that feels just as special as any cocktail.

non-alcoholic spritz

I don't know about you, but I love a bubbly sip any time of year. When you don't necessarily want to have alcohol all the time, this refreshing spritz is light and full of great fruit flavors — plus, it's bubbly. A must make!

sparkling arnold palmer

A sparkling Arnold Palmer drink is the ultimate easy refreshment. This recipe uses homemade lemonade and iced tea concentrates combined with sparkling water for a bubbly twist!

cinderella mocktail

This versatile Cinderella mocktail is a tart and tasty tropical mocktail made with a mix of citrus juices and other simple ingredients. It's the perfect choice for anyone who’s a fan of mimosas or wants a less-sweet, fruity cocktail but looking to skip the alcohol.

I hope these recipes hit the spot this month. Cheers!

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! After weeks of heavy holiday fare, I'm more than ready for a reset. With a new month (and a new year) kicking off, it feels like the perfect time to lighten things up in the drinks department. I’ve been enjoying a more intentional approach to drinks this week. Not in a strict way, just choosing things that feel good and fit the moment. That can look like: Savory, spirit-forward classics that don’t rely on sweetness Low-sugar, refreshing staples that...
