Welcome to Sober October! I apologize for being late with Sober October. I had more than a few website problems that have kept me busy.
Get Ready for Sober October, a time to go without alcohol for 31 days and focus on personal connections and wellness goals. With this in mind, it’s time to select the products you would want to have on hand at home in both the beer and spirit categories. The beer category is easier to find because there are a few beers out there that have little to zero alcohol. Skip the cocktails and go for the mocktails– which are cocktails done with mixes that give you the rich mouth-feel of a cocktail, but are alcohol-free!
Scroll down below for a considerable list of non-alcoholic cocktails AKA mocktails. There are at least 11 articles that I have linked to so that you can easily click your way to finding some great recipes you want to play with! There are a few drinks that have alcohol that was part of the original content. I tried to removing them but I lost the mocktails in that effort. So I am sharing the link to the entire post and you can scroll down to find the mocktail recipes.

About Sober October
The idea of having a dry challenge in October was first introduced in Australia in 2014 as a fundraising campaign for Macmillan Cancer Support, a U.K.-based charity that provides support to people living with cancer. While the main goal of the campaign is to raise money for people with cancer, it also emphasizes the importance of checking in with your body, and your current relationship with alcohol.

Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte drink mix is something I drink EVERY SINGLE DAY when I am working out. These drinks taste great (the best electrolyte drink I have ever had) plus it makes me feel good because it restores my electrolyte balance. I have been drinking Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte drink mix for a year and I buy the large canisters of this drink mix. I particularly like the lemonade flavor! I have several flavors that I have purchased including some mocktail mixes that taste like Caribbean cocktails.
