Just a few more days before we reach the halfway point of January! So we must ask: how are those Dry January resolutions going? Still going strong? Congrats! Even if you fell off a bit, we are rooting for you, too. Whether you've subscribed to the driest part of the year or are just looking to cut back a bit, we’ve got a few non-alc options to help you breeze through the rest of the month in stride.
RECOMMENDED: These NYC bars officially serve the best non-alcoholic drinks in the city
That's right, Time Out Market New York, Brooklyn, offers five spirit-free sips to get you through Dry January. Even better, they all hit under the $10 mark, so you can save while you sip.
First up is the Fleure Spritz ($8). The Aperol spritz-like dupe stirs in the herbaceous and citrusy Fluère Bitter alcohol-free aperitif as a base, giving it that telltale color and bite. A bit of lemon and club soda are added for a sparkling finish. The Fluere Naked & Famous ($10), however, blends the bitter Fluère varietal with a splash of Fluère Smoked Agave. Distilled from real agave, the mocktail has hints of honey and smoke on the nose, thanks to the incorporation of smoked hickory. And, much like the classic Naked & Famous cocktail, the drink gets its citrusy notes from a pour of fresh lime juice.
Behind the bar, we’ve also got a flight of non-alcoholic bottled cocktails from the Brooklyn-made spirits company, St. Agrestis. You can choose from the classic ready-to-drink alcoholic Phony Negroni ($10), with notes of Tuscan juniper and sweet, herbally florals, or go for the bright and citrusy route with the Phony White Negroni ($10). The brand also makes a coffee-infused Phony Espresso Negroni ($10). Made with house-brewed espresso beans, this cocktail scratches that espresso martini itch, so you can indulge all year long.
So head to the market and enjoy the rest of Dry January in style. Cheers!
