Dry January doesn’t have to mean dull drinks or missing out on the social fun. Restaurants and bars are embracing the sober-curious movement with zero-proof cocktails that deliver just as much flavor, creativity, and flair as their spirited counterparts. Here are a few spots to satisfy Dry January cravings:
At George & Gather, wellness-forward mocktails take center stage, each designed to feel indulgent while offering functional benefits. The Golden Grove Spritz blends Seedlip Grove 42 with vanilla, bergamot, orange, Mionetto, and a touch of All the Bitter Orange for a drink that supports digestion and heart health while remaining light and celebratory. The Spiced Moonflower leans into cozy warmth with passion fruit, ginger, cinnamon, and citrus, ideal for winding down while supporting digestion and relaxation.
For something bright and refreshing, the Agave Oasis mixes Seedlip Notas de Agave with cantaloupe, bergamot, lemon juice, and All the Bitter New Orleans, offering a hydrating, skin-loving sip that feels like sunshine in a glass. Crimson Garden rounds out the lineup with pomegranate, blood orange, ginger, lemon, basil, and agave for a vibrant, antioxidant-rich mocktail that tastes as good as it looks.
At Clever Koi, the Lemongrass Refresher delivers a clean, crisp take on a fan favorite. Inspired by the Lemongrass Swizzle, this non-alcoholic version combines house-made cucumber water with lemongrass syrup, fresh lime, yuzu, and soda water. Light, cooling, and beautifully balanced, it’s finished with a ribbon of cucumber and served over crushed ice for maximum refreshment.
The Little Woody brings playful personality to its zero-proof lineup with drinks that don’t take themselves too seriously. The Tongue in Cheek blends Seedlip Notas de Agave with strawberry purée, fresh lemon, and grapefruit soda for a bright, fruity refresher, while Spritz & Giggles pairs Lyre’s Italian Orange with watermelon Red Bull and sparkling water for a fun, effervescent twist.
At Postino, the mocktail menu is as thoughtful as its wine list. Guests can sip on creations like the Airplane Mode, featuring Italian orange, non-alcoholic amaro, lemon juice, and honey, or the Ginger Drit with NA amaro, lemon, ginger beer, and mint.
The Glow-Up combines cucumber, mint, and lime with a zesty ginger beer finish, while the Espresso Flirtini brings bold coffee notes together with spiced cane and hazelnut. The lineup is rounded out with options like the Mockingbird, Naked Ranch Water, alcohol-free sparkling rosé, a zero-proof Negroni, and craft non-alcoholic beers from Athletic Brewing and Best Day Brewing.
At Uchi, the zero-proof menu mirrors the restaurant’s refined approach. Standouts include the akabanaa, made with ritual zero-proof agave and hibiscus-lime, the sangria with non-alcoholic red blend and tropical fruit, and the mitsu mitsu featuring rosemary, yuzu, and honey. The feragaia mule and G&T spritz deliver familiar cocktail structure without the alcohol, while the phony negroni offers a classic bitter finish for purists.
Mastro’s is joining the Dry January celebration with three mocktails crafted to mirror the indulgence of their signature cocktails. The Sea Salt N Caramel Espresso No-tini blends espresso, Lyre’s Dry Gin, and caramel notes for a decadent treat. The French 6’7 offers citrusy brightness with lemon, non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and a touch of sweetness, while the Immunity Boost combines ginger, turmeric, citrus, and botanical notes for a wellness-forward sip that still feels luxurious.
For something lighter, the White Grape Cooler blends non-alcoholic Pinot Grigio with peach, pineapple, and citrus for an easy-drinking refresher, while the Grapefruit Mock-Jito delivers crisp mint, lime, and ruby red grapefruit soda for a zesty finish.
Hash Kitchen is launching a lineup of lattes, cold-pressed juices, and wellness shots, available beginning January 7. Highlights include the Ube Matcha Latte and Ube Latte, cold-pressed blends like Sassy Greens and Spicy Ginger, plus wellness shots Glow Up and Immune AF. Guests can also boost any drink with Electro Boost for added hydration and energy.
The Sicilian Butcher is celebrating Dry January with a curated lineup of mocktails and low-ABV drinks, including several non-alcoholic options. Standouts include the spicy Don’t Call Me Shirley (house pomegranate grenadine, lime, ginger beer), the herbal Rosemary Pomegranate Soda (pomegranate grenadine, rosemary simple, yuzu), the Sorrento Spritz, the Limoncello Spritz (.5 percent ABV) with lemon zest, white grape juice, sparkling wine, and sorbet, and the Pimm’s Cup featuring Giffard aperitivo, lemon, strawberries, honey, and ginger beer.
At The Montauk, guests can sip refreshing options like the Lavender Haze, with lavender, blueberry, lime, and soda, or the tropical Sunset Sail, with pineapple, peach, and guava.
Finally, HULA’s Modern Tiki proves that Dry January can still feel like a getaway. With bold, tropical flavors and thoughtfully crafted zero-proof spirits, their mocktails – from the Prickly Pear Mock-a-Rita to the Designated Driver Mai Tai – bring island vibes without the hangover. It’s a reminder that great flavor doesn’t require alcohol, just a little creativity.
Whether you’re fully committed to Dry January or simply looking to mix things up, these Valley spots are redefining what it means to raise a glass – no alcohol required.
