As Halloween approaches, BOSSIP wants those who celebrate “Sober October” to still celebrate (spookily).
Drinking with friends or at a celebration is always good for the soul, but sometimes dry weather is a much-needed reset. Around the world, many people have begun observing “Sober October” as an anthem to encourage dullness among friends and communities. Many observers don’t realize how exciting “Dry October” can be when you try out contextual options.
This guide will help you enjoy Halloween without alcohol and even bring non-alcoholic options to your event.
BOSSIP’s Sober October Non-Alcoholic Beverage Guide
Elysian Brewing’s ‘Oud Water’
There’s water, and there’s “Odd Water,” a refreshing, gluten-free option with no calories, no alcohol, and artistic packaging. The brand’s Citra and Amarillo Hops Water deliver floral and citrus notes to your taste buds.
HOP WTR Variety Pack
HOP WTR offers a non-alcoholic variety pack that includes Classic, Blood Orange, Mango and Lime. Of the three options, I recommend the Mango, which goes into normal rotation after one sip.
The brand boasts that the drink contains 0 calories, 0 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 grams of sugar.
Rockaway Soda
ROCKAWAY reinterprets soda by adding real fruit juice and real sugar to its four original flavors: Berry Hibiscus, Lemon Lemongrass, Watermelon Guava, and Pineapple Ginger. Each can is 12 oz of soda with 7 grams of organic cane sugar and a pinch of sea salt.
Starbucks ‘Glinda’s Pink Potion’ & ‘Elphaba’s Cold Brew’
Maybe it’s easier to just stop by Starbucks for a sober October snack and they offer two products that feel like snacks.
Glinda’s Pink Portions include Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refresher Drink hand-shaken with creamy coconut milk, ice, and a scoop of real freeze-dried dragonfruit.
Elphaba’s Cold Brew Starbucks Cold Brew features a custom blend of coffee beans steeped cold for a long time to create a very smooth cold brew coffee. The cold brew is sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup and topped with soft, smooth non-dairy matcha cold foam and colorful green candy sprinkles for a magical Oz dusting.
