DRY JANUARY INSPO 2026

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 12/22/25

Looking for dry or alternative alcohol options this new year? We got you.

No Pour Decisions at Vesper This Dry January

Long before Dry January became shorthand for sober curiosity, Vesper was already shaping what a night out without alcohol could look like. As one of Atlanta’s early leaders in non-alcoholic cocktail culture, the Glenwood Park favorite approaches zero-proof drinks with the same care and creativity as its classic cocktails, from the Not So Stormy to a velvety alcohol-free Old Fashioned and a spirit-free Mai Tai made with Ritual Zero-Proof Rum. Paired with shareable American tapas like Parmesan Truffle Tots, Chips with Queso or Guacamole, and Birria Melts, the experience feels intentional rather than restrictive, proving that a spirited evening doesn’t actually require spirits. Located along the Atlanta BeltLine in Glenwood Park, Vesper is at 924 Garrett St. Suite D, Atlanta, GA 30316. For more information, visit www.vesperatl.com and follow along on Instagram at @vesperatl.

Guests can enjoy handcrafted sips minus the hangover, from the coconut-forward Perdigiorno and zesty Pineapple Fizz to the passionfruit-infused Niente Spritz, crisp Lapo’s Spritz, and bold Zero Proof Negroni.

Forza Storico is located at 1198 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA 30318. For more information or reservations, visit forzastorico.com. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook at @forzastorico.

Dry January, Done Differently with The Georgia Hemp Company

Inside its shops, the focus is on flexibility and flavor, whether that means stocking the bar cart with elevated mixers, exploring alcohol-free alternatives for a night out, or discovering hemp-derived drinks that offer a different kind of unwind.

At Kitty Dare, the month is an open invitation to drink a little differently, with zero-proof options that bring just as much to the table as anything else behind the bar. Among the standouts are the Kian, a bright mix of Amethyst Blueberry Ginger Mint 0.0% Spirit, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ginger beer, alongside the Farhad, featuring Amethyst Lemon Cucumber Serrano 0.0% Spirit, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a fresh mint finish.
