If I’ve learned one thing from TikTok lately it’s that October is officially the new January. Selfishly, I’m super excited about this because it is way easier to feel motivated to ‘transform’ your life in the fall versus the dead of winter. The idea of a dry month floats around just about every month but if October is the new January, what better time to try it out?
The good thing about sober curiosity becoming a trend is the amount of mock-tails that have been created. Of course, you can always go to a restaurant and ask them to make a regular drink minus the alcohol but let’s be real, that is no fun. I absolutely love a good mocktail and I have gathered quite a large list of favorites over the years. From mock-tails you craft yourself to the ones that come in a can, I love them all.
BTW: the success rate of your mocktail is dependent on the glass you choose to serve it in, my favorites are from Anthropologie, Amazon, and Crate & Barrel. Another pro-tip is to gather your garnishes from mint to limes, we want it all!
My number one favorite mocktail in a can has got to be De Soi, a non-alcoholic apéritif. What originally drew me to them was the fact that they had a non-alcoholic aperol spritz but I ended up trying the Trés Rose flavor and fell in love. Another favorite would be from the brand Parch. Specifically, I love the desert margarita flavor and I add my own tajin rim which is just chef's kiss. Last but certainly not least, my list wouldn’t be complete without the Recess Zero Proof line. My personal favorite is the island spritz but they have everything from cosmos to mojitos.
