Dry January and Beyond!

Hey there,

Marissa here from Yes to Dessert wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

I cant believe we are nearing the end of January, If you’re like me, ‘dry January ‘often turns into February, and beyond. If you’re looking for substitutions for some of your favorite libations, no worries. I got you covered. 

If you like a mojito try a ‘Nojito’.

Nojito

This mocktail version of a strawberry mojito was from Lolita in Boston, MA.

If you like a green tea shot, try floral tea. 

Floral Green Tea

This green tea from Jonquils in Boston takes the floral element literally. Both elegant, and tasty, this drink is a highly recommended in the winter months.

If you like a Paloma, try this mocktail version with fresh lime juice, agave and grapefruit juice. 

Mocktail Palomas

I enjoy cocktail making. Though, pulling out the shaker doesn’t always include a trip to the liquor cabinet. This mocktail has all the makings of a classic paloma with out the booze.

If you’re looking for something sweet try pineapple apple juice.

Apple Pineapple Juice

Sweet and simple. The mocktail can be made with two easily accessible ingredients.

If you like a Moscow Mule, try this ginger beer mocktail with pineapple juice (for an extra razzle dazzle).

Ginger Beer Mocktail

Quick and easy is the name of the game with many of the options on this list. With just three ingredients, you may have found your Moscow Mule replacement.

If you like Boba Pops- the popping boba liquor, try making your own boba at home.

Boba

Boba for the win! Making Boba at home with a kit from “O’s Bubble” was so much fun and easy to do.

If you like a lemon drop, try this strawberry lemonade. 

Strawberry Lemonade

Lemons, water, sugar and ice… a recipe that has stood the test of time gets an upgrade with the addition of dried strawberries.

If you like a dirty Shirley, go back to the classic version.

Shirley Temple

I don’t think I could ever outgrow a Shirley Temple… extra cherries please!

If you like a blueberry vodka soda, try this blueberry mocktail. 

Blueberry Mocktail

Attended a mocktail class at Dray, a non alcoholic bottle shop with locations in Boston and Cambridge, MA. Had so much fun stirring up this drink.
