2022 Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 18 – Snowy Orchard. Feeling a bit like Ina Garten suggesting the inclusion of Kalamansi Citrus Vinegar in this mocktail recipe but it really is the best option if you can get your hands on it. If not, apple cider vinegar will suffice, in a pinch. It’s Sober…

Bright Eyed & Bubbly Mocktail
2022 Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 11 – Bright Eyed & Bubbly. This Sober Sunday mocktail is a simple combination of non-alcoholic sparkling wine, non-alcoholic spirit, and a tasty syrup. I try to encourage mindful consumption year-round but think it’s especially important to share full-flavour, zero-hangover options during this most indulgent time…
Pomegranate Placebo
2022 Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 4 – Pomegranate Placebo. Welcome to the first Sober Sunday of the month. As in the past two years, we are bringing back this weekly feature to introduce you to creative non-alcoholic cocktails and exciting zero-proof spirits. This particular concoction is made entirely with fruit juices,…
Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita Mocktail
Well, well, well, here we are a new year, disappointingly similar to last year, thus far. I think we can all agree we were hoping to finally launch into the roaring twenties after a two-year postponement due to that global health crisis that shall not be named. I’m treating it like Voldemort now and no…
Orange Hot Chocolate
2021 Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 11 – Orange Hot Chocolate. This was technically supposed to be a #SoberSunday post and be scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, December 12th but apparently when I was drafting the eBook for this calendar my sleep-deprived brain couldn’t process dates on a calendar, so here we have…
St. Nick’s Shandy
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 5 – St. Nick’s Shandy. After their immense popularity last year, #SoberSundays are back and here to stay. I’m delighted to be teaming up with made-in-Ontario non-alcoholic distiller Søbrii again this year. You may recall the popular Black(berry) Christmas from the 2020 edition of the cocktail advent…
Chai Hot Noddy | Zero-Proof Cocktail
Most of you are likely familiar with Dry January but other months of the year are making a strong case for placebo cocktails like Dry July and Sober October. While I’m not fully committing to the teetotaler lifestyle this month, I am making a concerted effort to reduce my alcohol consumption. With the return to…
First Blush: Grapefruit Mocktail
It’s Dry January – or at least it is in my household – and I’m taking the opportunity to introduce you to some of my favourite non-alcoholic distilled spirits. I’ve read articles suggesting as many as 1 in 5 Canadians will participate in Dry January this year. To that end, I returned to Breakfast Television…
Ebenezer’s Envy
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 20 – Ebenezer’s Envy. It’s our last Sober Sunday of the advent calendar and I’m taking the opportunity to introduce you to a couple of cool products. I’ve called this the Ebenezer’s Envy because while it has no alcohol, it fully captures the spirit of Christmas, unlike…
Black(berry) Christmas
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 6 – Black(berry) Christmas. For the first time ever, I’m introducing Sober Sundays to the cocktail advent calendar and on this first Sunday of the month I’m delighted to shake up this zero-proof version of the classic gin bramble with Søbrii 0-Gin from Stratford, Ontario. Today’s post…
