The trick to getting through Dry January successfully
Do you remember, back in sobertober? That I got it into my head to not drink alcohol for an entire month, while it was my birthday and on day three I already had a drink with wine-loving friends in my agenda? I managed it and it was much easier than I thought beforehand. With the start of a (medium) Dry January, I’m going to share my cleverness with you, because one thing got me through these drinks: the very best alternative.
I always hated that I got such a boring drink poured for me when I wasn’t drinking alcohol, but with GIMBER, none of this is the case. It’s a beautiful mix with a bite, made from pure premium ginger, lemon, refined herbs, and spices, so you don’t even miss the alcohol in the slightest. One takes a nice glass, cuts something fruity from a fruit, grabs some festive straws, and starts crushing ice. These are the basic principles of a successful month without alcohol. Then you take the tastiest non-alcoholic alternative imaginable (GIMBER, of course) and pour it cheerfully into that nice glass. I mean a seriously nice glass, from which you would normally only enjoy a drink. No one at the table who finds you unsociable or dares to mention it, not even yourself.
You can of course drink your GIMBER on the rocks, as a shot in the morning or tea in the evening, but I would also like to whisper the perfect serve to you.
1. Three centiliters GIMBER
2. Twenty centiliters of sparkling water
3. Some thyme and/or some mint
I promise you that everyone will get drink envy. That’s what I call it when someone prefers your drink over their own. And to ensure that you don’t get stuck visiting somewhere with a deadly boring soft drink, just bring your own bottle. Or two, because GIMBER makes an excellent gift. GIMBER for you, GIMBER for me. Your Dry January will be a piece of cake with GIMBER as the solution. Just promise that you’ll also serve a nice GIMBER to your guests, okay?
By the way, there’s no better time to be a bit dranquilo, as our government calls it. Before you know it, you’re daily drinking away that lockdown, and you can do that much better with a nice substitute. Cheers.
