During Dry January, non-drinkers know they can enjoy many great-tasting [craft non-alcoholic beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craftstyle-nonalcoholic-beers) from [Athletic Brewing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-january-party-pack), and two of the newest limited editions from the brand took the form of cocktail-inspired brews. At a time of year when adults are re-evaluating their relationship with alcohol and being particularly open and receptive to healthier choices in general, Athletic Brewing dropped a Paloma-inspired brew and another inspired by a Moscow Mule.

While Athletic Brewing's take on a Paloma is brimming with vibrant, zesty flavors from grapefruit and lime, the cocktail-inspired Moscow Mule cuts the heat of ginger with refreshingly tart lime. Both options, now sold out, speak to the high demand for creative non-alcoholic brews influenced by [cocktail culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-alcoholfree-cocktails).
