Dry July Day 5 - The more things change, the more they stay the same?
/
Day 5 is here and it’s FRI-YAY!! Time for something really special….sleep and a drink sans alcohol!
What To Drink When You’re Not Drinking?
Today’s drink is the Sansgria which is our alcohol free interpretation of the boozy original.
This is a perfect choice for replacing like with like, since you can simply use your favourite sangria recipe and swap the wine for an alcohol free version.
Tip: a mixed wine drink like Sansgria is a great way to use the more readily available (but not always quite as high quality) grocery store alcohol free wines. Or use an elevated AF option to really up your game!
Ingredients
1 bottle of non alcoholic wine
2 cups (no more!) chopped kiwi, orange, strawberries, and blackberries
1 bottle of PC Italian Soda - Blood Orange
Directions
Add fruit to the bottom of a pitcher, and pour a small amount of wine on top. Gently press the fruit with a wooden spoon or other bar tool. Put it into the fridge for about an hour or two. When ready to serve pour in the wine, blood orange soda and ice.
Dry July Success Tip: Get your beauty sleep
We know, it’s Friday and it’s so tempting to stay up late and pour yet another glass of wine. The kids are in bed, so why not, it’s mom’s time now! But take it from us, you will be so happy you hit the hay early. It’s been a long week of rethinking drinking and your brain needs some rest!
I started a bedtime ritual for myself, that included pulling my hair back properly, taking off all my jewelry and really washing my face and my makeup off. I took the time to massage my skin care into my face. I put on slippers. Bought a new toothbrush and toothpaste to really feel like I had a new start! - Sarah Kate
