LA TimesThere are many reasons why someone might want to attempt a dry January. The following is a taste test of 14 nonalcoholic beverages including wine, spirits, aperitifs and a couple of drinks that don’t fall into any traditional category. dhosspirits.com Lyre’s Dry London Spirit, $35.99 Meant to replicate the potent flavor of a dry, unadulterated gin, Lyre’s take on a classic London-dry style gets the job done in shockingly authentic fashion. drinkfreespirits.com Aperitifs Three nonalcoholic spirits, from left: Wilfred’s bittersweet orange & rosemary; Ghia aperitif and For Bitter For Worse Eva’s Spritz cider. seedlipdrinks.com/en-us/ AMASS Riverine, $40 One whiff of this noncategorical spirit and it’s clear there are more than a dozen botanicals involved: The juniper, lemon peel, rosemary, thyme, coriander, sumac and a certain green-olive brininess are almost overwhelming on first sip, but Riverine mellows as it goes, eventually falling somewhere between a botanical gin and the most herbaceous spa water of your life.
