Navigating the holidays, whether in recovery or living a zero-proof life, can be challenging, but don’t worry! The Sober Curator has got you covered. “Craft alcohol-free recipes are having a moment, and we are here for it. We’ve spent too many years sipping lemon water or coffee at holiday gatherings.” Whether you want new alcohol-free beverages or need some gift ideas, we’ve curated the list and have you covered!
In this segment on New Day Northwest, Alysse Bryson, the Founder and CEO of The Sober Curator, talks with guest host Angela Poe Russell about various alcohol-free beverages you can try from Dry Soda, Proteau, Curious Elixirs, and Kolibri.
Also featured, a fun way to sip safely while socially distancing from Sipping Safely, a local maker in Seattle, is a face mask you can drink with. It’s handmade from recycled fabrics, and the fabric is so soft on the face. The fit is great, and the valve only allows air to come in, not go back out. Bonus! It also comes with a reusable stainless steel straw.
Sadly, we ran out of time before getting to my favorite gifting item from Malicious Women Co, the Sober AF Candle, hand-poured in Snohomish, WA. Infused with Rock Bottom and Gratitude, this is the perfect gift for any sober person in your life.
