Top Non-Alcoholic Picks for Dry January

It's that time of year again...

Dry January is a great chance to blow away the cobwebs and start the year feeling fit, fresh and healthy. After the over-indulgence of the Christmas period (we all do it!) it's a nice chance to cut out alcohol for a while and give our bodies a break.

But that doesn't mean you can't find some delicious non-alcoholic alternatives to hit the spot. With the increased popularity of Dry January, there are increasingly more non-alcoholic alternatives, that act as a nice pick me up in the evening, minus the hang over! Some of our favourite brands have come out with their own versions, from Gordons to Heineken, and you can get non-alcoholic gins, wines, beers or whatever your tipple of choice is!

You'd think that by cutting out the alcohol you'd be cutting down the cost, but that's not necessarily the case. Lots of the non-alcoholic options are surprisingly pricey, and that's why I've made this run down of the best - and most importantly, the best value - picks for Dry January 2021.

There are options for a variety of budgets here, but make sure you download the LatestDeals app and use the Supermarket Price Comparison Tool to get the best price on these alcohol free goodies.

Best - Wine

Eisberg Sauvignon 75CI Alcohol Free - £3.00 at Tesco or Ocado

- Eisberg offer three alcohol free wines, a white, a red and a rose, so you can pick according to your preference. The Sauvignon gets the best reviews, so if you like a white you're in luck! It's £3.00 at Tesco and Ocado, so if you're tempted to try it, you've got a couple of options.

Best - Gin

CleanCo Clean G 70cl - Was £25 Now £16 at Sainsburys

- For all you gin lovers out there, there are a lot of different alcohol free alternatives. They can get pretty pricey, and often reviews are mixed, but this CleanCo seems like a good pick. Have a read of the reviews on Sainsburys, they're pretty convincing! And you can save £9.00 at the moment. It's also not got any sugars or sweeteners and is only 4 calories per serving - so you can drink it totally guilt free! If gin's not for you but you like the look of the brand, they also do a golden rum!

Gordon's 0.0 Alcohol Free70cl - £12 at Waitrose or In Store at the Co-op

- Because gin is such a fan favourite, I thought I'd include two on the list. You can't beat good old Gordon's for a G&T - even if the 'G' is alcohol free! As it's a new product it's on an introductory offer. You can get it for £12 at Waitrose, or in store at the Co-op.

Best - Beer

Heineken 0.0 Alcohol Free Lager 6X330ml - £3.50 with Tesco Clubcard

- If you're interested in trying alcohol free beer from a brand you recognise, Heineken comes highly recommended. The reviews for this are pretty much universally good and it's easy to get hold of at Tesco or Sainsburys. You can get 12x330ml at Sainsburys for £7.00.

Best - Cider

Kopparberg Alcohol Free Cider with Mixed Fruits 0.0% ABV - £3 at Asda

Known for their fun and fruity ciders, Kopparberg also have a non-alcoholic option, and it gets good reviews on the Asda website! If you like your drinks to have some flavour, this could be a good call. You can also buy them individually to start with, so if it's not for you you don't have to commit to buying a four pack! Other flavours include Strawberry & Lime, and you can get one bottle of this for £1.08 at Waitrose.

Best - Prosecco

Freixenet 0.0% Alcohol Free Sparkling 75Cl - £5.00 at Tesco

If you've got a weakness for prosecco and you're looking for something to fill that gap, Freixenet do a sparkling drink, and they also do a pink version. It's £5.00 at Tesco and £3.50 at Slurp, but you have to spend £100 for free delivery, so depends what you want to do! If you like the sound of the rose sparkling, you can get it for £4.00 at Sainsburys.

Best - Cocktails

Æcorn Bitter Non-Alcoholic Aperitif 50cl - Was £20 Now £16.99 at Ocado

- Who doesn't like a cocktail? And one that was so popular in 2020 was the Aperol Spritz. If you've got a hankering for one but you're committed to going alcohol free, this is your answer. Bitter and citrusy, this take on a Spritz will hopefully fill that Aperol shaped hole in your life.

Best - Rum

CleanCo Clean R 70cl - Was £25 Now £16

- There aren't that many alcohol free rum alternatives available, but you can save £9.00 on the CleanCo Clean R at Sainsburys. As with their gin, this gets great reviews, and comes in a gorgeous bottle. It also has no sugar or sweeteners and is only 4 calories a serving. If you're go-to is a rum and coke, look no further.

Best - Vodka

STRYYK NOT VODKA | NON-ALCOHOLIC SPIRITS | 70CL - Was £18 Now £16 at Amazon

- I struggled a bit to find some affordable vodka alternatives, but I did find Stryyk. Have a look on their website to learn more about the brand and their products. Their 'Not Vodka' is available on Amazon and you can save £2.00 - make sure you look at the 'includes V.A.T. price! It's also vegan (great if you're also doing Veganuary) and gluten free.
