This is I think my seventh Dry January? Can’t say it changes the other 11th months but it works well for me and I like figuring out alternatives. I always recommend kombucha and Lyre’s. Mocktail martini that isn’t just olives up next

Will probably get back to my dirty martini reviews in February (after Dry January) but honestly not expecting to be wowed until I visit a nice hotel again. Hotels always have the best dirty martinis.
