Dry July 2022: 7 Reasons To Try Non-Alcoholic Spirits

Going dry for July just got a whole lot easier with Ritual Zero Proof as your secret weapon.

Our tequila, whiskey, gin and rum alternatives let you enjoy your favorite cocktails, without the unwanted side effects of alcohol.

Here are 7 reasons you should try non-alcoholic spirits during Dry July in 2022:

1. You know how to use them

No spa waters or mystery elixirs here. Ritual is designed to replace traditional liquor 1:1 in the cocktails you already know and love. If you know how to make a margarita, G&T, old fashioned or rum & coke, you know how to make a non-alcoholic version with Ritual. It’s that easy.

2. Enjoy the flavor without the calories

One of the major benefits of going dry for July is the positive effect on your physique. A shot of a traditional liquor has nearly 100 calories. Combine that with mixers, times a few drinks, and there’s no quicker way to pile on empty calories. Ritual Tequila and Gin Alternatives have 0 calories, and Ritual Whiskey and Rum Alternatives have only 5 calories per shot. With Ritual, you can cut out those empty alcohol calories without losing out on the cocktail experience.

3. Crafted of natural botanicals to taste like the real thing

Ritual is made from the same natural botanical flavors that you’ll experience in the original spirits. Blue agave in the tequila alternative. Juniper and herbs in the gin alternative. Oak and caramel in the whiskey alternative. Ripe banana and baking spices in the rum alternative. The results are non-alcoholic spirits that mix beautifully into classic cocktails that taste as good, or even better than the originals.

4. You can go dry and be social

Alcohol is so ingrained into our culture that it can feel unnatural or uncomfortable to socialize in a bar or party setting without a drink in hand. With Ritual, you can make a healthier choice for yourself during Dry July, without feeling like the odd one out. You can have your cocktail, and drink it too.

5. You can have your cocktail and still get stuff done! 

You might be doing Dry July because you’re dieting, making a baby, or just trying to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Maybe there is a big project you’ve been meaning to tackle but weekend hangovers kept getting in the way. With Ritual, you can have a cocktail that satisfies the urge and feel great the next day.

6. Be the host with the most

Over 13% of US adults participate in a dry month each year. So, odds are you’ll have some friends at your next gathering who would love a non-alcoholic cocktail. Just like a vegetarian option, it’s expected and very much appreciated to have non-alc options at your gathering. Serve great drinks for all and you’ll be the toast of the party, not just during July, but all year long.

7. Cocktails made with Ritual are delicious

Thousands upon thousands of happy Ritual customers order every month to enjoy a healthier cocktail, and we’re confident that you’ll love us too. In fact, if you aren’t 100% satisfied with your order, reach out to our customer service team and we’ll be happy to make it right.
