“Dry January” has become somewhat of a challenge over the years with the movement finding its start in Finland of all places thanks to the program Raitis Tammikuu (“Sober January”), which aided in the war effort against the Soviet Union.
While we may be saying farewell to January and hello to the month of love, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a few delicious non-alcoholic cocktails every now and then.
Here are a few delicious mocktails to try then next time you need a little detox.
