In 2020, avoiding alcohol doesn’t have to mean cancelling on social situations. Londoners are increasingly opting for low or no alcohol options, so keeping to your Dry January pledge should be easier than ever before.

The Doyle Collection’s London hotels offer a variety of non-alcoholic options for guests to enjoy, available all year round.

Cocktails at The Coral Room

The Coral Room’s fabulous new cocktail menu tells a story of sips around the country, from Wordsworth’s Lakes and Bronte’s moors to the Cornish Riviera, Glastonbury and the Bloomsbury Group’s Sussex retreat. The delicious non-alcoholic option is inspired by Lancashire, using local ingredients to bring the history of the destination to the drinker’s taste buds. Living In Coral combines Seedlip Spice 94, Pineapple & Earl Grey Tea Shrub, Coconut Water and LE Soda Water for a refreshing tipple in the beautiful surroundings of The Coral Room.

During Dry January, The Coral Room will also be serving four wellness cocktails in partnership with Meda Human, in order to restore the balance of both body and mind through the imitable benefits CBD has to offer.

Mindful Cocktails at 108 Bar

This January, 108 Bar will be serving a series of Mindful Cocktails in partnership with La Maison Wellness and Wild Life Botanicals. Embracing healthy hedonism, guests will be able to order low-sugar and low-abv cocktails which put a twist on recognised classics. The cult favourite Aperol Spritz is one of the cocktails that has been reworked for Dry January, named as the 0% Spritz on the menu and featuring Monin Orange Spritz, Wild Life Botanicals Nude and elderflower tonic, for a delicious and alcohol-free twist on the original.

Camille Vidal, founder of La Maison Wellness, will be working a guest-shift in the bar on the 21st January, so pop in to meet her and learn more about the benefits of mindful drinking.
