What I order at the bar as a sober curious girl
I am currently trying to drink less for my physical and mental health. These are my go-to’s when I’m out with friends and everyone is having a drink or I just want a fun beverage at dinner. Almost every bar will have these ingredients, from a dive to a fancy restaurant you should be able to get these!

In recent years, the sober curious movement has gained considerable momentum, as many individuals choose to drink less for their mental and physical well-being. Not only does minimizing alcohol consumption benefit health, but it also opens up new opportunities to explore delicious non-alcoholic cocktail options. Popular choices include sparkling water with fresh lime, and creative mixes like margarita soda with a tajin rim, which offer a flavorful twist without the alcohol. With many bars now featuring extensive mocktail menus, the options are virtually limitless. In addition to the classic Shirley Temple – a delightful mix of ginger ale, grenadine, and lemon-lime soda garnished with a cherry – consider trying a refreshing blend of soda water, cranberry juice, and a splash of pineapple juice for something invigorating. The rise of non-alcoholic spirits has also made it easier to replicate traditional cocktails without the booze. Look for brands that offer non-alcoholic gin or whiskey to create a sophisticated, flavorful drink that fits seamlessly into social gatherings. Furthermore, sipping on drinks like sparkling flavored water, or a herbal iced tea can keep you hydrated while enjoying a night out. It’s all about embracing these choices with confidence and finding joy in the variety available, ensuring that the sober curious lifestyle is not only fulfilling but also fun.



My wife was so happy when she realized that yes, at almost 40 years old, she can go out and order a Shirley Temple without being judged!
