Ahh, the holidays. Tis’ the season for lots of festive fun and of course, loads of seasonal foods and drinks. But, if getting into the holiday spirit involved one too many holiday spirits, you’re not alone. In fact, research has shown that on average, many Americans report consuming nearly double the amount of alcohol per week between Thanksgiving and the New Year. 

This year, if you’re feeling a bit burnt out on booze (and the unpleasant day-after effects of one too many cocktails), why not give dry a try? If you’ve ever found yourself feeling dry-curious, we’re here to help you take the plunge with a roundup of our favorite must-make mocktails to enjoy during Dry January (and anytime you’re feeling a “five o’clock somewhere” refreshment, without the tipsy side effects).
