For many, January brings opportunities for resets in our habits. Whether we’re committing to eating less meat throughout the week or increasing our gym frequency, many of us are considering ways to be kinder to our minds and bodies at the beginning of the new year. Many people kick off the new year by participating in “Dry January” and abstaining from alcohol for the first month of the year. Whether you’re just partaking in a month without alcohol, are sober-curious, or intend to keep it going, Seward Co-op has countless tasty options for you to stay hydrated.
Dry January Drinks or Anytime N/A Sips
Fresh Pressed Juices from the Deli
Seward Co-op delis proudly fresh-press organic juices for shoppers each day. Loaded wish fresh fruits and veggies, our blends are full of vitamins, minerals, and most importantly, flavor. Try a Heartbeet, brimming with sweet carrot, earthy beet, bright apple, and leafy spinach. Our house-made Go Green is a favorite, packed with wheatgrass, spinach, refreshing kale, and cooling celery. Craving something spicy and fresh? Snag a single shot of pressed ginger. If you’re feeling creative, shoppers can build their own beverage to suit their tastes.
Fresh and Fizzy
Visit the coolers and grocery sections at either store to find all kinds of delightful bubbly beverages. We’ve got countless kombucha options, bubble waters, vinegary switchels, sparkling teas, and natural sodas. If bubbles aren’t your thing, we’ve got coconut waters, lemonades, and juices to wet your whistle.
Steamy Sips
There are few things more soothing than a warm beverage on a cold winter day, and when you’re avoiding alcohol, they can be especially comforting. Visit the Deli for an adaptogenic mushroom drink by local producer Botanical Lucidity. Craving coffee? Grab a cup of freshly brewed Peace Coffee, or have one of the talented baristas whip up a latte of your choice, hot tea, or perhaps one of our rotating drinks of the month. Prefer to brew your own at home? You can buy bagged and bulk beans from fair-trade and sustainably-sourced coffee producers. If tea is more your thing, we’ve got countless varieties from fresh or fruity and herbal, to strong, black, caffeinated options, too.
Stay High-drated
Looking for a way to catch a buzz without alcohol? We have a variety of mood-boosting CBD and THC beverages, too. From unsweetened fizzy waters to THC sodas or cannabis-spiked Arnie Palmers, we’ve got a drink for you. You can choose CBD only or drinks that have CBD and THC in them that range from 2.5-10 milligrams of the psychoactive compound within. No matter which you choose, you’ll still be having lots of fun without the booze–just make sure to consume responsibly.
