Dry January With CTV's The Social
/Did you miss watching Sarah Kate and Some Good Clean Fun on CTV’s The Social today? We chatted about how to ‘Make It Easy’ for Dry January, and hosts Jess Allen and Lainey Liu tried out our top recommendations for Dry January drinks:
Flat wine: Eins Zwei Zero Rose
This wine is made with premium Pinot Noir grapes in the Rhineghau region in Germany. It’s an exceptionally tasty non alcoholic Rose wine, with notes of strawberries and rhubarb. Perfect for any day of the week!
Sparkling Wine: Oddbird Blanc de Blancs
The innovation in this bottle of wine results in an incredible replica of Blanc De Blancs sparkling wine. Made with Chardonnay grapes from France by Swedish company Oddbird, this truly is an excellent example of what non alcoholic sparkling wine can be.
Sparkling Rose: NoughtyAF Sparkling Rose
The glam Noughty AF brand was recently seen at a Stella McCartney fashion party in L.A. and making waves around the world. Thomson and Scott has created a perfect Sparkling Rose that has depth of flavour, light bubbles and a smooth finish with 100% Tempranillo grapes from Spain. It’s a wine that you can drink on any occasion, and will be appreciated by drinkers and non drinkers alike.
Here are the two easy recipes we shared:

Red Wine Proxy
Ingredients
2.5 oz of chilled diluted, pre-mixed cranberry juice

1 cup good quality, very cold alcohol-free Sparkling Rose (NoughtyAF or OddBird are the best available in Canada)

Add the orange extract and cranberry juice to a wine glass. Very carefully, to prevent fizzing, fill the glass about 1/2 way full with Sparkling Rose. Stir very gently to dissipate some of the bubbles. Enjoy!
