Zero-Proofing it: Halfway Through the #AlcoholFreeFor40 Challenge

I’m joined by magazine editors Melanie Warner Spencer + Ashley McLellen to hear their take on the first half of #AlcoholFreeFor40. Their experiences, their strategies for success, and their fab finds in the mocktail (or “zero-proof cocktail”) arena, plus why they’re considering extending beyond 40 days.

RECIPE | Berry Shrubs
Add to mocktails, just a tablespoon or
two is all that’s needed!
2 cups berries, cleaned and chopped
1 cup Swerve Sweetener, granular
or confectioners
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup fresh herbs (mint, basil,
lemonbalm), minced and divided
Add berries, vinegar, sweetener and half
of the herbs to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
After about 10 minutes, mash fruit to release juice. Simmer until thickened and
syrup-like consistency. Strain into a bottle or jar. Refrigerate until
ready to use.
