If you (like me) are craving a moment of clarity (especially after Christmas celebrations), participating in Dry January is the way to go. The month-long challenge invites you to temporarily bid farewell to alcohol in hopes of self-discovery and improved health, which are both very beneficial to your general well-being.
Though serviceable to yourself, Dry January can become even more of a challenge to not feel left out when all your pals are drinking. Mocktails can be great, but the non-alcoholic beverages scene is growing in popularity, meaning you don’t have to actually bartend your own sips each round.Check out these 9 non-alcoholic canned drinks that are great for toting to your friends’ places or seasonal parties!
Aura Bora x Graza Olive Oil Martini
This non-alcoholic canned drink presents an unconventional infusion of olive oil and citrus. It passed our taste test with flying colors because it is oh-so flavorful, but still balanced. We love that it's not marketed as a 'mocktail,' either – it doesn't leave anyone out, making it the perfect companion for Dry January.
