It’s the 2nd drink up from my For Bitter For Worse Holiday Trio sampler. Had I purchased any full size bottle of this based on description alone, this would have been the one. I love smoky, sweet cocktails, especially in the Fall and Winter, but this one fell short for me. The nose is liquid smoke, which carries through to first sip. Other than that, … Continue reading For Bitter For Worse- Smoky No. 56
My husband’s out to dinner with friends, the kid is at a friends, and I am working “late” catching up on some things and drinking. What’s in my glass? The Saskatoon by For Bitter For Worse, which I’ve been wanting to try for a very long time! The Saskatoon is a non-alcoholic cocktail with flavors of Tart Berry, Black Pepper and Tannic Douglas Fir Finish, … Continue reading For Bitter For Worse- The Saskatoon
Aplos is a hemp-based liquor alternative that had me intrigued to try it. I like the idea of some calming side-effects without the booze, and the flavor description of citrus-led with notes of ginger and rosemary sounded delicious. It has 20mg of broad-spectrum CBD per 2oz. serving. Based on the taste, 2 ounces in one drink would be a lot for me, so I’d generally … Continue reading Aplos- CBD Liquor Alternative
It’s a holiday head-to-head! Most of my sober and sober curious friends are starting to chat about what alternatives they will be bringing to holiday gatherings, so I figured it would be a good time to put some mulled wines to the test.

It’s a mix of mulling spices and … Continue reading Mulled “Wine” Head to Head- IKEA Vintersaga vs. Belvoir Farms Mulled Winter Punch

I was able to find it at my local grocery store. It has all of the delights of a real beer and none of the funk. The balance of hoppiness and juiciness is perfect, and there’s no … Continue reading Two Roots Brewing Co- New West IPA
Oh you guys, this one is just divine. One of my favorites. Let me count the ways: It realistically tastes like a mixed drink. It has the aftertaste of an old fashioned and the crispness of an Americano or Aperol Spritz. It’s in a CAN! So I can bring it to gatherings or parties and have a “drink” without carrying my entire bar around. It’s … Continue reading Lyre’s Amalfi Spritz
I have tried many of Athletic Brewing Company‘s beers, and have been surprised by how much I really like them. Their Free Wave Hazy IPA is one of my favorites. I picked up a few 6-packs of this gem after seeing that it took 2nd place at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival in the Non-Alcoholic Beer Category The downside? This beer is a limited … Continue reading Athletic Brewing- Closer by the Mile
