The non-alcoholic beverage movement is having a moment一and for good reason. More people are embracing zero-proof cocktails as a way to enjoy a night out without the side effects of alcohol.
Whether you’re fully sober or just “sober curious,” cutting back on alcohol offers plenty of benefits, and Minneapolis’ bar scene is taking note.
Why Are Non-Alcoholic Drinks Trending?
Gone are the days when skipping alcohol meant settling for a soda or a basic juice. Today, sophisticated zero-proof cocktails provide all the flavor and fun of a well-crafted drink一without the buzz.
Here’s why more people are making the switch:
● A way to celebrate, minus the alcohol: Whether it’s a night out with friends or a special occasion, you don’t need alcohol to make it memorable.
● More widely available: Bars and restaurants (like Umbra!) are expanding their zero-proof offerings, so you don’t have to miss out.
● A healthier alternative: Alcohol can dehydrate you and disrupt your sleep. Swapping in a non-alcoholic drink helps you wake up feeling refreshed.
● They taste amazing: Thoughtfully crafted, non-alcoholic cocktails offer just as much depth and complexity as their boozy counterparts.
● No more negative aftereffects: Say goodbye to hangover, headaches, and overall bleh feeling the next day.
