See how these trendy cocktail bars are embracing the no-alcohol wave
BeefBar_AlexStaniloff_112124-022

With so many people getting on board for Dry January, cocktail bars around the world and getting in on the non-alcoholic action too. Two NYC bars have embraced this trend with challenging, interesting mocktails which keep the sensory pleasures of a cocktail but ditch the booze.

“As a teenager who grew up in Flatbush, Brooklyn my preparation for my driver's test involved two traditions-- practicing my K turns on the slow cobblestoned streets of Red Hook Brooklyn and grabbing a celebratory slice of Steve's Key Lime Pie for not crashing!" said Rob Giles of Beefbar NYC, creator of one of the drinks. "This non- alcoholic cocktail is an homage to that using coconut cream, Thai coconut milk, and topped with Fever Tree lime and yuzu soda.”
