Click here to read the full article.
Hard seltzers may have had their time in the spotlight last year, but this year, mocktails are all the rage. Not only does Nielsen list mocktails and low-ABV beverages among the top beverage trends for 2020, but searches for “mocktail recipe” have also surged on Pinterest — a whopping 1,241 percent. And with this month being Dry January — searches for “dry January quotes” on Pinterest increased 54 percent and searches for “dry January benefits” increased 36 percent — this trend couldn’t be better timed. But, what does one drink during Dry January?
If you’re feeling fancy, there are actually a few different “non-alcoholic spirits” on the market now, like those from Seedlip and Ceder’s. But if you don’t feel like going out of your way to splurge on a fancy bottle, it’s actually really easy to concoct your own mocktails from ingredients you can get at the grocery store.
