Avery Bar at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston offers Zero Proof, No Alcohol Beverages for Dry January 

Joel Atlas, mixologist at Avery Bar at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, (10 Avery Street, Boston, <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/boston">www.ritzcarlton.com/boston</a>) is always exploring the rising trend of alcohol-free living as individuals embrace sober socializing, innovative mocktails, and even alcohol-free bars. That’s why he’s counting down the days until January when he will once again offer guests creative and distinctive zero-proof cocktails for the month ahead, and beyond. Joel says he approaches making alcohol-free cocktails in the same manner as making any cocktail, with precision, creativity and passion. He shares with us, “Just because the alcohol isn’t there, doesn’t mean I can’t be as creative and enthusiastic about what I’m offering guests who are abstaining for the month of January or who choose not to drink alcohol in general. The experience remains the same, we’re always looking to impress our guests at Avery Bar with a mix of flavors and profiles that will entice and delight.” New mocktails on the Avery Bar menu for the month of January, to be updated seasonally, include the following (with some tasting notes from Joel Atlas as well:) Day &amp; Night Old Fashioned Surprisingly enough, this beverage uses concentrated decaf English breakfast tea. This is a great alcohol-free option for anyone who enjoys a traditional whisky drink. Cucumber Gimless A refreshing and clean mocktail that features non-alcoholic gin and cucumber. This one is vibrant and elegant at the same time. It’s sophisticated, smooth and aromatic. Painless Killer  Tropical drinks aren’t just for the summer and yes, they can be alcohol free too. Let’s enjoy a moment of reprieve from a cold January here in Boston since this mocktail will remind you of sitting on the beach in the Caribbean. This is a big step up (flavor and component-wise) from your traditional non-alcoholic Pina Colada. Penicillin Using the fragrant, aromatic non-alcoholic Scottish botanical spirit, Feragaia, this beverage is built exactly like a traditional Penicillin cocktail, which is a modern scotch-based drink that mixes smoke, ginger, and lemon, minus the alcohol, of course.
