Dry January – Roses
I was intrigued by Mizudashi Sencha tea through an ad by Yoshien. So, I came up with a recipe using Sencha Sakura rose tea. On top of that, I had some Muri Yamilé left, so I combined those.

Dry January – Cherry Picking
At the last minute I changed the recipe I had written down. Basically, I built this alcohol free drink around the sour cherry syrup. Yet, I threw out the lemon juice.
Dry January – Muri Yamilé

Dry January – Portraits
You can say and think about Dry January what you like. At least for me, it is a welcome break from alcohol. Do not get me wrong, I am all for reducing your intake over the whole year. Alcohol should always be enjoyed in moderation. Nevertheless, here is a new non-alcoholic highball I am quite […]
Dry January – Olive Hearts
I discovered the Dr. Jaglas Dry Hibiscus when looking for high-quality San Bitter alternatives. This hibiscus flavoured aperitivo just sounded perfect for a little NA-highball.

Dry January – Coffee

Last, but not least, I am featuring a non-alcoholic cocktail I came up with last year, but only got around to try now. The drink features some trending ingredients and also sticks to the theme of this year’s Dry January – tea.
Dry January 2024 – Careful You
Dry January would not be complete without a drink using San Bitter. I know that it is artificially coloured and contains a lot of sugar, but I just love the bittersweet taste. In this case, I paired it with milky Oolong syrup and grape juice for a Negroni-esque drink.
