Hopefully you were careful and didn’t have a big gathering. There were just five of us, but I got to hear some absolute bangers.

    I mean the article that they shared was like basically a bunch of good alcoholic drinks that don't really need any alcohol in them to be good... like moscow mule (ginger beer and lime juice) mojitos (muddled mint, lime juice, sugar and soda water) daiquiris(lime juice and fruit and like maybe a shitload of ice in a blender honestly this drink is anything you want at this point...) and they mentioned things like martinellis apple cider instead of champagne.... but like so many of those do rely on quite a lot of sugar, but generally you can control the sugar amount and it'll stay pretty balanced. oh tepache! that's the cool thing to drink now, just fermented pineapple stuff, it's more kombucha-ish levels of alcohol and apparently it's really easy to make. I'm also a big fan of italian sodas from baladin (they're a beer brewery with some great stuff) their soft drinks are amazing, they have a Spuma that's like a negroni without any alcohol and pretty mild sugar. https://www.baladin.it/en/spuma-nera
