Zero Proof Pours began with a personal quest for wellness. About a decade ago, I discovered that alcohol exacerbated my autoimmune disease, iGA Vasculitis. Rather than feeling defeated by the red hives on my skin, I reframed the disease as my body's way of compassionately signaling its discomfort. Guided by this signal and fueled by my natural curiosity, I dove head first into the 'sober curious' rabbit hole, going zero alcohol in 2022. This decision, paired with my passion for building and community, has given rise to Zero Proof Pours. I hope this website serves as a nurturing hub, celebrating the ever-evolving zero proof movement, recognizing the pioneering spirit of mixologists, and spotlighting bars and restaurants that are pushing boundaries to modernize drinking culture!
My vision is to cultivate an inclusive space that celebrates the creative pioneers who are combining their forward-thinking mindsets with a tapestry of flavors that honor their expertise and rich cultural backgrounds. I believe that this fusion of looking forward while also looking back will empower us to collectively make a significant impact, redefining drinking culture for the better. Cheers to health, creativity, and the joy of discovery in the N/A (non-alcoholic) beverage world!
A cocktail's essence is creativity, flavor complexity, and artistry, not alcohol. From fresh and culturally inspired ingredients, to artful presentation, let's make this the place to discover and share alcohol free cocktails that are as diverse and complex as our backgrounds, and more enjoyable than their boozy counterparts.
