Zero Proof, Full Flavor:
Where to Find Great Mocktails in Cayuga County

As January invites a fresh start, Cayuga County is raising a glass without the alcohol. Dry January is a movement that began in the United Kingdom over a decade ago to encourages mindful drinking after the holidays. It has now grown into a global tradition centered on balance, wellness, and intention. In January we also celebrate National Mocktail Week celebrated the second week of the month). This week was designed to promote alcohol-free drinks, mindful drinking, and promote alternatives to alcoholic beverages for those who chose to lead an alcohol-free life.

In celebration of Dry January and National Mocktail Week, we’re highlighting the creativity, flavor, and care behind non-alcoholic beverages across Cayuga County. From thoughtfully crafted mocktails and zero-proof sips made with local ingredients; there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the season. 

A mocktail (also commonly called a virgin drink) is a non-alcoholic beverage designed to mimic the flavors and presentation of traditional cocktails.
