Dry January inspires many of us to reconsider our drink choices. While there are many alcohol-free options, non-alcoholic cocktails are just prettier and much more enjoyable to make, plus Market Liquors has some fab recipes to share with you.
What is Dry January?
Dry January is an alcohol-free month which means no drinking whatsoever! Whatever reason you choose to do it, you will reap the benefits; a fatter wallet, improved sleep patterns, better moods, less bloating, and best of all no hangovers! Let’s give it a go.
So, depending on our family and friends the minute we stop drinking we are deemed different. We have all heard the jokes at an event where someone chooses not to drink, irrespective of the reason behind it.
But never fear when Market Liquors is near! Not only do we have a fantastic variety of alcohol-free beers, but we also have some killer non-alcoholic cocktail recipes that will make your choice a lot easier. Let’s have a look. Cheers!

Our Top 5 Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
#1 Queen Pineapple Mocktail
A delicious alcohol-free rendition of a Piña Colada. Quick and easy. Throw everything in the blender and blitz. Make it look like the real thing with a piece of pineapple as a garnish or a festive paper umbrella. Find the recipe here.
#2 Classic Mojito
Mojitos are the perfect summer drink as they are just oh-so-festive! While the recipe does call for rum, just ignore that. Your drink will be perfect without it. A classic cocktail that is tasty and classy.
#3 Mango Virgin Mojito Cocktail
Why stop at the classic mojito? And especially when Dry January and Mango season come together. Try our fantastic and delightful mango mojito! Perfect for sipping alongside the pool. Or better yet, make a batch to enjoy at the beach or on a picnic. Perfect for all the mango lovers out there.
#4 Sarah Graham’s Lime, Cardamom and Blueberry Fizz
A flavourful and fancy take on the classic gin and tonic, with added Sarah Graham flair. Super simple and super pretty. Just remember to exclude the gin and to add lots of ice. Sit back and enjoy. What’s great is, this is easy to enjoy in company, and no one will be any wiser that you didn’t add any gin to yours!
#5 Sparkling Cranberry Eyeball Punch
This drink is a lot of fun, and you can chop and change the recipe to suit your occasion! Punch with an eyeball in it? We are taking full advantage of the January seasonal fruits. It’s just litchi. The litchis can be excluded if you would prefer a tamer drink. The flavours will not be affected.
