Mocktails for Dry July
For those participating in Dry July this year here are some great Mocktails supplied to us by Australian Bitters Company. These creations are the work of Andrew Atwell - one of NYC’s most renowned mocktologist - these mocktails stimulate the body’s senses and elevate the non-alcoholic drinking experience helping Dry July’ers stick to their commitment of giving up booze this July.
Mr. Atwell has built a reputation as NYC’s mixology guru, serving up personally tailored libations, unique to an individual's preference. The latest chapter of his journey sees Andrew partnering New York’s The Wild Son, a healthy all-day restaurant focused on clean food, healthy proteins, greens & grains and health-benefiting mocktails that are just the right thing when you’re craving a drink worth drinking, when you’re not drinking!
