Dry January 2025: This Not That

Dry January is upon us! Need some inspiration to swap out your usual alcohol-bearing beverage? We’ve sought out non-alcoholic options from our community to get you started. Looking for friends to do Dry January with? Join us on January 14th for our Dry January Community Zoom Mixer. Register here!

CABERNET SAUVIGNON ➡️ BUZZKILL WINES

Drop the cab, and grab a can instead. Buzzkill has removed the alcohol from Cabernet Sauvignon, with wine produced in California by a fifth-generation family-owned winery. Pinkies up. Use code DRYJAN at buzzkillwines.com for 25% off.

MARGARITA ➡️ PARCH

Tequila? Never heard of her. You won’t need to either when your lips taste Parch’s Desert Margarita. Replace the buzz of alcohol with the benefits of adaptogens by drinking Parch.

MAI TAI ➡️ !MPROV

Canned cocktails are all the rage, but !MPROV is proving canned mocktails are too. The Tropical Mai Tai might just be that summertime twist you need for smooth sailing into Dry January.

SOUR BEER ➡️ GO BREWING

Sour beer lovers, this one’s for you. A mix of citrus, strawberry, and blueberry, bring the sweetness and tartness to your palate without the booze.

PILSNER ➡️ NONNY

It’s a weird and wonderful day for a pint, as Nonny says. With less than .5% ABV, you can sip on Nonny any time, and still have the look and feel of drinking a classic beer.

ESPRESSO MARTINI ➡️ MODICA

Rejoice! Less sugar and zero alcohol – espresso martinis are here to stay with Modica. Swap the vodka for your favorite club soda, and you’re in business – superfoods and all. Take 20% off all products (excluding subscriptions) + Free shipping on orders $50 or more. Use code: DRYJANCPG at drinkmodica.com

GIN & TONIC ➡️ BETTER THAN BOOZE

Cali sober peeps, where you at? We think a booze-free Snoop Dogg would love sipping on Better than Booze’s CBD and THC-infused Elderberry Gin and Tonic. How about you?

ARNOLD PALMER ➡️ HAZARD’S HOP WATER

Aiming to steal the hearts of golfers, Hazard’s Hop Water is a great way to ditch booze and stay on your A game on the green. We know a spiked Arnold Palmer honors the famous golfer with an addition of alcohol, but with Hazard’s you can still enjoy an AP, and take it to the NA level. 

ROSÉ ➡️ JØYUS

This rose was the first non-alcoholic wine to win Gold in—not only a completely blind tasting—but one of the biggest and oldest wine competitions in the world. She’s gone on to additional Double Gold and Best in Class honors. Need we say more?

ANGOSTURA ➡️ ALL THE BITTER

Without the unnecessary colors, flavors, and preservatives, All the Bitter is “top shelf” with all natural ingredients and zero alcohol. Perfect replacement for classic bitters or a great addition to a soda for a simple, tasty beverage. We’re hyped about their latest collab with Zero Proof Nation featuring decaf coffee, cherry, and vanilla bean – which won’t be sold on Amazon in an effort to support small retailers!

DRUNK TEXTS + HANGXIETY ➡️ DAPPY

Ok, so we’re not really replacing an existing beverage with this one, but can we agree that we can do without the drunk texts and hangxiety that alcohol might deliver? We think so. Dappy’s putting a tongue-in-cheek twist on their beverages by naming them exactly that: Hangxiety Not Included (cucumber, ginger, yuzu) and Don’t Text Your Ex (tangerine, grapefruit, jalapeno). Drink up without getting yourself down!
