I’ve never completed a Dry January. In truth, I haven’t tried. I admire people who use the 11-year old tradition with roots in 1942 Finland’s wartime rations as an opportunity to examine their health and habits. Self-reflection is always a great idea! But everyone’s relationship with alcohol is different, and, for me, moderation is key all year long.

Although U.S. craft beer production has more or less plateaued in recent years, the NA market continues to explode. According to Global Market Insights , the NA beer market was valued at over $22 billion in 2022, and is expected to nearly double over the next 10 years. Naturally, many emerging brands are eager to get their piece of the pie. When you remove alcohol — one of beer’s most appealing features — taste becomes even more paramount.

What’s going to be the new “it” cocktail for 2024? While we can’t know with 100 percent certainty, we’ve already made some educated guesses — hello, Carajillo — and that’s what makes things fun. Even bartenders don’t know what the next status cocktail may be, but they treat speculation a little differently than most. Each new year brings a renewed possibility that a build they love may capture the imagination of the masses.

California’s Foley Family Wines recently branched out into spirits, and while its gin isn’t a big risk, launching a Texas whiskey certainly is. Made from Texas-grown corn, the high-rye (35%) bourbon is aged in-state in new charred oak barrels for 6 years before bottling… in California. Ouch! Will the perennially Texas proud accept a Texas bourbon that goes into bottle on the west coast?

The history of social drinking is full of dare drinks, glasses you drain to prove your mettle, knowing full well that you may end up wincing or even ill. Most of the layered shots that came out of the 1980s and ‘90s were basically dare drinks. Mezcal , now widely revered, was a dare drink back in the days when the entire category was represented in the United States by a single dusty bottle with a worm in it.

The popularity of agave spirits has exploded in recent years with mezcal showing particularly impressive growth. Unlike most tequila, however, mezcal is more of an artisanal product, often made entirely by hand and with frequently far lower yields. It is not uncommon for a new mezcal producer to hit the market with only a few thousand or even a few hundred bottles to sell.
