Tips and tricks for Dry January

Tired of syrupy-sweet soft drinks? can offer the depth and complexity that alcohol usually provides – tryto a glass of tonic water for a grown-up tipple. Bitters are alcoholic but the tiny amounts you add won’t be noticeable. is a great swap for prosecco and cava – brands such as Fortnum & Mason and Saicho make elegant varieties. Having a ‘damp’ rather than a dry January? Try such as vermouth sherry or white port mixed with tonic, as well as wine spritzers and beer shandies. If you’re craving a full-strength drink, try using to reduce your intake. Alternatively, if you’re out socialising, it can be a good idea to pick – perhaps a negroni or old fashioned – to sip slowly all evening.
