In the last few years, Dry January has been a movement that’s gathered national appeal. At the start of the year, it’s now commonplace for many of us to ditch the grog and enter a new year with a refreshed, reset body and mind. Over the last few years, our drinking as a nation has reduced exponentially - in fact, a 2018 study found that 30% of young people never drink at all.

So, if you’ve decided to skip the booze in January, but still want a little ‘something for the weekend’ or for dinner with friends, read on for our top picks of the best low and no-alcohol tipples on the market.
