It’s a trend that more and more people are embracing each year: Kicking off the Enero by cutting out alcohol for the entire month. After indulging over las fiestas, it’s no surprise that so many people want to hit the reset button in January. Among other new year’s resolutions related to health specifically, refraining from consuming alcoholic beverages is top priority for many these days.

What is Dry January?

The origin of this initiative is not entirely certain. Everything seems to indicate that it emerged as a spontaneous proposal in the United Kingdom, first partially popular, but in 2014 was already so well known that it was supported by government public health bodies.

​​”Dry January” is widely practiced in other countries, with remarkable results. The idea is that a month without drinking prevents you from returning to engaging in particularly harmful alcohol-related episodes. Surprisingly, it makes some people stop drinking completely. 

So, if you wanna take a chance at Dry January without feeling FOMO, here are some beverage options to have in mind that are so delicious you won’t miss the taste of your favorite vino.

Alcohol-Free drinks to try in Dry January

Karuna UNWINED

Healthy juices and smoothies Karuna, has just released a new wine alternative–Karviva Unwined. Carefully blended with tart and powerhouse fruits, this burgundy-colored drink tastes like the well-loved Malbec, minus the alcohol. It has its iconic smoky aroma, sophisticated layers of fruit, and a delicate balance of sweetness and tannin. This drink pairs well with meat, fatty fish, dark meat poultry, and aged cheese.

Psychedelic Water 

This tastes like the hype it got on TikTok. Psychedelic Water’s mild psychoactive blend is non-alcoholic and lightly carbonated without any unnatural ingredients. It tingles your tongue but won’t leave you hungover or jittery.

Mingle Mocktails

Mingle is the brainchild of Laura Taylor, a busy working mom who decided to stop drinking several years ago.  These festive ready-to-drink sparkling libations are inspired by popular cocktails like the Cosmo, the Moscow Mule and the Mojito – and they have everything their counterparts do, minus the booze and calories.  They come in bottles or cans and bring everyone to the party with sophisticated fun flavors, and they look as good as they taste.
