With virtual pub quizzes, Zoom parties and “quarantinis” having become the new normal, many of us have become a dab hand at fixing our own drinks.
And without the discipline of a normal working routine, the gym and diarising “school nights” to lay off the booze, it’s far more tempting to have a glass, and then another one…
Combine that with warm temperatures and blue skies, and who wouldn’t argue that a cuppa loses its mojo when there’s the appealing option of a mojito?
But if you feel the need to call time on too much of a good thing, these low and no-alcohol alternatives put mindful drinking first, without compromising on flavour…
1. A ‘small’ beer
2. White wine spritzer
