Black Manhattan
I was eager to mix a cocktail after receiving Pathfinder, a non-alcoholic Amaro alternative. I started with a Black Manhattan, which is one of the best non-alcoholic cocktails I’ve had yet. To make this version, I used: 2 parts Lyre’s American Malt 1 part Pathfinder 1-3 dashes of bitters (I used Angostura Orange but you… Continue reading Black Manhattan

This kombucha-based zero-proof cocktail has all of the flavors of Fall with added gut health benefits. While I leaned in heavily to some items I found at Trader Joe’s, this could easily be modified using other easily accessible ingredients.

Get a Free Drink Coaching Session from Lyre’s
Lyre’s is one of my hands-down favorite non-alcoholic spirit brands. I am a repeat buyer of their Italian Spritz and their pre-mixed cans, and recently purchased their Sazerac set, comprised of non-alcoholic Absinthe and Rye.

The 15K- Easy Tropical Refresher
This creation is a byproduct of “what’s laying around”. I was trying to fit in some last-minute hydration after drinking water all day in preparation for the Drumstick Double, a 10K followed by the 5K Turkey Trot through Detroit before the Thanksgiving parade. It’s pretty simple, not overpowering, and extremely refreshing! 5oz Knudson Pineapple Juice… Continue reading The 15K- Easy Tropical Refresher

Drink Trackers- Yay or Nay?
I am not a person who typically does well with tracking. During my 3rd year of college, I took a Fall semester off (after going to school full time all summer) and came home and worked retail. I found out that I was a top seller for an entire region including the Mall of America,… Continue reading Drink Trackers- Yay or Nay?
Who to Follow- The Sober Barkeep
One thing I’ll be doing on this blog is paying homage to others who do what I do, and spoiler alert, most of them do it better!

All About Straws
If there’s one thing I want in a mocktail, it’s a straw. There’s something about drinking from a straw that makes it feel like a “real” drink, plus I have terrible eye hand coordination, so straws ensure I don’t miss getting the drink into my mouth and end up with it all over my shirt.… Continue reading All About Straws
