Cheerful alternatives to the usual champagnes and other cocktails, here is our list of new non-alcoholic drinks to try during Dry January.
Known for its indisputable health benefits, dry january (or the idea of not drinking alcohol during the whole month of January to counteract the excesses of the holidays), is gaining more and more followers. This is a good thing when you consider that many new non-alcoholic beverages are being created. Less sweet than the usual juices and sodas, but just as festive, they are fun alternatives to drink this winter.
French Bloom
Without sulfates or sugar, the French Bloom is a sparkling drink made of de-alcoholized wine, grape juice and lemon. Bottled in the South-West of France, it is available in White or Rosé version, in a Champagne 2.0 spirit.
Kin High Rhode
Led by Jen Batchelor, and recently Bella Hadid, Kin Euphorics is famous for its range of drinks made with GABA (a substance naturally present in the body with relaxing effects), tyrosine (which helps to manage stress) but also phenylethylamine and rhodiola rosea root, which could improve cognitive functions. And great news, the brand unveils a "euphoric" aperitif with plant and spicy notes to make cocktails with sparkling water, a touch of honey or a fruit juice of your choice.
Naka
Sparkling drink which includes 30mg of CBD, Naka seduces as much by its sweet notes as by its ingredients of natural origin between fruity and floral aromatic notes. A good ally therefore to relax in the evening, without drinking the slightest drop of alcohol.
Gimber
Concentrated with organic ginger, lemon, herbs and spices, Gimber is one of those energy drinks without alcohol and not too sweet. To dilute in carbonated water or to accompany mint and other fruits of use for a more worked mocktail.
