For many, January 1st signals more than just the start of a new year — it also means the start of Dry January, an alcohol-free month after the boozy holiday season. But just because you’re doing Dry January doesn’t mean you have to be stuck drinking plain seltzer all month. The non-alcoholic beverage industry has exploded with innovation over the last few years, offering unique flavors to delight your taste buds and functional ingredients to ease your mind. With these 12 non-alcoholic brands replacing your liquor cabinet this January, you just might find you don’t miss their alcoholic counterparts at all.
