6 non-alcoholic drinks for Dry January that aren’t Shirley Temples

Brewed in Coors Edge is a North American-style lager. With fewer calories than a can of soda and 0.5% alcohol ABV, it's a light, easy-drinking non-alcoholic beer perfect for slaking your thirst without getting tipsy. A bonus? It's also available on Amazon.ca.

Kombucha is made from fermented and sweetened green or black tea, and has an appealingly tangy flavour. While all kombucha is ever-so-slightly alcoholic, most fall below 0.5% ABV, meaning they're not alcoholic drinks — but they're still gown-up enough to be interesting. Brewed in Montreal, RISE Kombucha comes in a variety of interesting flavours, including blueberry and maple, rose and schizandra berries, and ginger.

Non-alcoholic beers have been growing in popularity in Europe, which is where Heineken first promoted their new non-alcoholic beer. Dry and crisp, Heineken 0.0 is a blend of two different brews to help achieve a taste that's refreshingly close to traditional beer.

For Italians who want an aperitivo without the alcohol, Crodino is the way to go. It's bitter-sweet, citrusy and herbal — decent on its own, but even better mixed. Serve it with a twist of orange, a shot of club soda and de-alcoholized sparkling wine and some ice, and you've got a sophisticated mocktail to rival those snooty (and expensive) Aperol spritzes. Best of all? You can get it online through Walmart.

Radlers are already lower in alcohol than traditional lagers, but PC's version takes the alcohol out completely. Made with 50% lemonade, it's pretty much identical in taste to a traditional radler — and at 75 calories, it's a good alternative to having a soda.

Seedlip took a recipe book from the 17th century as the inspiration for its three distilled, non-alcoholic blends of herbs, aromatics, fruits and spices. If you love interesting cocktails, these blends are perfect — they're flavourful, interesting and miles away from sickly sweet traditional mocktails.
