January is here, and for many, that means it’s time for Dry January—a month-long challenge where participants cut out alcohol to reset their bodies and minds after the holiday season. Whether you’re taking a break from booze for health, wellness, or simply to give your body a break, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun. In fact, Dry January is the perfect time to enjoy a different kind of experience at Painting with a Twist EAST on Powers, where you can still sip, paint, and enjoy the social aspects of an evening out—all without the alcohol.
Here’s how you can make the most of Dry January while unleashing your creativity at Painting with a Twist!
1. Celebrate with Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Our studio’s Inspiration Bar has more than just alcoholic beverages! We offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks to help you stay on track with Dry January while still enjoying the festive atmosphere of a painting session. You can sip on:
- Mocktails: Enjoy delicious, handcrafted canned mocktails like sparkling kombucha or our non-alcoholic G&T.
- Soda and Sparkling Water: Refreshing sodas and flavored sparkling waters are perfect for staying hydrated and socializing with fellow painters.
