Whether you’re doing Dry January or abstaining from alcohol for any other reason, this guide can help you find a delicious and interesting drink while out in Seattle. For Dry January outings in Seattle, it’s worth knowing that many cocktail bars will happily make a zero-proof drink even if mocktails aren’t listed on the menu, especially if you share your flavor preferences such as herbal, citrusy, or spicy. At the same time, more restaurants and lounges are embracing sober-curious menus, featuring thoughtful non-alcoholic options made with ingredients like Seedlip, Ritual, Pathfinder, or house-made shrubs and sodas, offering something far more interesting than a simple juice and soda.
