Living Juice Mocktails for Dry January and Beyond

New Year’s resolutions often start with the best intentions: eating better, feeling healthier, maybe cutting back on a few indulgences. But too often, we overpromise, go all-in, and burn out before January is even over.

This year, we’re taking a softer approach with small, doable changes that actually stick. And one easy place to start? What’s in your glass.

Whether you’re participating in Dry January, cutting back on alcohol, or simply looking for a refreshing non-alcoholic option to mix into your celebrations, these mocktails make it easy to toast without the sugar crash or next-day regret.

Made with organic, cold-pressed Living Juices, these drinks are hydrating, vibrant, and free from added sugars or sweeteners. They still feel festive and special, just without the alcohol.

Why Mocktails Make Sense for the New Year

• Support Dry January without sacrificing fun
• Lower sugar than traditional cocktails
• Hydrating and nutrient-dense
• Inclusive for everyone at the table
• Easy to customize (add spirits if you want, skip them if you don’t)

Think of these as celebration drinks you can actually feel good about!

Hosting Tip: Make It a Mocktail Bar

For Dry January gatherings (or to make any event more inclusive):

• Set out Living Juices, citrus, sparkling water, and garnishes
• Let guests build their own drinks
• Offer optional spirits, including non-alcoholic, on the side 

This keeps things inclusive, intentional, and low pressure, exactly the energy we want heading into a new year.

A Gentle Resolution Worth Keeping

Health doesn’t have to mean cutting out everything you enjoy. Sometimes it’s just about making small swaps that support how you want to feel.

Raising a glass (without alcohol, without added sugar, and without pressure) is a pretty great place to start!
