Dry on the Fly – Dry January Will Fly by with Greenbar Distillery’s 100% Organic Spirits
Editor in Chief Cece Woods considers herself the “accidental activist”.…
Approximately 15% of U.S. adults participate in Dry January, sustaining from alcohol and starting the year sober. In 2022, 34% of adults reported wanting to cut back on alcohol altogether opting for the non-alcoholic version of their favorite cocktails.
Discerning drinkers should include LA’s first distillery since the Prohibition, Greenbar Distillery‘s line of non-alcoholic highballs in their Dry January mocktail rotation. Infused with Greenbar’s handcrafted and 100% organic spirits, each N/A beverage undergoes a meticulous de-alcoholization process in which the alcohol is boiled off and the flavors, aromas, and satisfaction of a handcrafted alcoholic cocktail remain.
Founded in 2004 by husband-wife duo Melkon Khosrovian and Litty Mathew, Greenbar Distillery boasts the world’s largest portfolio of 100% USDA-certified organic spirits.
