Mocktail Recipes to Sip During Dry January

All that drinking over the holiday season...it's time for a break! Dry January, which is the act of giving up alcohol consumption for the month of January, was started by Alcohol Change UK in January of 2012. As this British charity has stated, Dry January is a great opportunity to "ditch the hangover, reduce the waistline and save some serious money by giving up alcohol for 31 days"!


Unfortunately, due to the social drinking nature of society today, giving up alcohol can trigger major FOMO. Don't miss out on sipping on fun drinks this January by trying out some of these delicious alcohol-free beverages. You'll enjoy these mocktail recipes so much that you won't even mind that they don't contain alcohol!

This virgin sangria is just as good as the real thing! The author of this recipe states that, "the liquid [in this recipe] is a combination of black tea and pomegranate juice, which approximate the sweetness, acidity, and tannins of red wine. It’s a beautiful substitute both flavor- and color-wise".
