Not too long ago, if you wanted to partake in “Dry January,” your only course of action was to drink flavorless, fizzy NA beeror simply drink water. The world of non-alcoholic spirits has been booming in the last few years.

There are myriad non-alcoholic spirit options available for this, and every month, you plan to go alcohol-free. One of the best choices for tequila fans is Lewis Hamilton’s Almave.

For those new to this brand, Almave is the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic Blue agave-based spirit. It comes from the seven-time Formula One racing champion, agave expert, Casa Lumbre co-founder, and master distiller Iván Saldaña.

Almave doesn’t make just one non-alcoholic agave-based spirit; it makes two. They are Almave Ámbar Distilled Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit, which was crafted for sipping neat, and Almave Blanco Distilled Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit, which was created specifically for mixing.

According to the brand, Almave Ámbar Blue Agave Spirit is known for its complex roasted agave, caramel, and toasted wood flavors. Almave Blanco Blue Agave Spirit is known for its “balanced sweetness and acidity perfect for mixing.”

“There’s a huge appetite for quality alternatives for those times when people don’t want to drink alcohol but also don’t want to compromise on flavor, which is why it was important that our product includes agave to reflect the taste of conventional tequila,” Hamilton said in a press release. “I think it tastes amazing, and what we have created is unlike anything else on the market, so I can’t wait to see what you all think.”

Where can I buy it?

One might opt for non-alcoholic wine for many reasons. Whether it be sobriety, health-related issues, religious beliefs, pregnancy, or anything else, the reason is no one's business but the drinker's. More and more people are choosing to drink less or not at all.

Having a non-alcoholic option that isn't simply soda or juice can make a person who isn't drinking feel more included in the festivities, which should always be the goal, which is something I always strive for at any gathering I host. Parties should be all about fun, so I always make sure to have quality non-alcoholic options available. So whether you're choosing to cut down on alcohol yourself or want a more inclusive bar cart, we salute you.

When the New Year rolls around, many people see it as a perfect time to reset and refresh. Particularly after the rich and festive meals during the holidays, many people make New Year’s resolutions to start eating healthier and exercising regularly, for example. And if you're like me, you might have some trouble keeping those resolutions throughout the entire year.
The holidays are also a time when many people, myself included, consume (more than) our fair share of alcoholic beverages. Between holiday parties, happy hours, spiked eggnog drinks, all those festive cocktails, and countless bottles of Christmas wine, you may feel like your liver needs a bit of a break. Dry January was designed for precisely this purpose -- to encourage people to abstain from alcohol for the entire month, to restore their physical health and their healthy relationship with alcohol.
If you’ve never participated in Dry January before, you may think it downright daunting or completely unnecessary. But you may be surprised at how beneficial and easy it can be with discipline, flexibility, and planning. So, if you’re looking for a fresh way to boost your health in 2025, keep reading for our Dry January tips.
