  • Bret Thorn
  • 8 January 2025
🍻 In the U.S., 35% of legal-aged Americans participated in Dry January in 2022, with many reducing alcohol consumption permanently. Bacari, a Los Angeles-based chain, and Another Broken Egg Cafe with 102 locations, noted a decrease in alcohol sales. Mocktails have surged in popularity, with menu mentions up 37.4% since 2019. These zero-proof drinks are priced around $6-$18, nearly matching the profit margin of alcoholic beverages despite lower costs. Bacari's complex "Waste Not Want Not" and Dirty Habit's "Lavender Lie" exemplify the trend towards inclusive, premium alcohol-free options.
