Sober October Box Unboxing With JOMO Club (& Lewis Hamilton)
Oct 01, 2024
A recent static has shown that more people will be moderating their alcohol intake in the last part of 2024 (including the festive season) than in Dry January. For us at JOMO Club, this shows that people are now starting to take a look at their relationship with alcohol all year round as opposed to short bursts of sobriety.
Kicking things off with a wonderful alcohol-free bang, is Sober October.
Sober October is a special time over here at JOMO. Why?
We get to welcome new members who are trying sobriety for the first time.
The month often re-shapes mindsets and many of these members then stay with us moving forward.
Our existing loyal members get to share their non-alcoholic experiences with loved ones as many become more open minded during Sober October.
On top of all of this, we get to be the people who inspire so many during an amazing month. A month that supports charity and changes so many’s perspectives of drinking.
Whoever you are and whatever reason you are reading this, I hope you give us the opportunity to inspire you.
So, let’s unbox the Sober October Box - it was pretty special.
Almave Blanco
Non-Alcoholic Tequila by Founder, Lewis Hamilton & Master Distiller, Iván Saldaña
You can try this spirit on our bottle store.
If you are a tequila lover, you are going to go a little crazy for this one. This creation is one of the best things to come from the non-alcoholic spirit revolution to date…in our opinion.
Expect fresh agave with a touch of spice and minerality. Not only is it an exceptional 0% tequila, but it is the sexiest bottle to sit on your drinks shelf and pass around at a dinner party.
JOMO’s Favourite Almave Blanco Serves
T&T - 50ml Almave over ice topped with tonic.
Paloma - dip your glass rim in lime and then coat in chilli flakes and salt. 50ml Almave over ice topped with grapefruit soda.
Buy Almave on JOMO's bottle store.

Forest Feasts
Salted Chocolate Almonds

MONIN
Curacao Orange
Syrup can get a bad rep. We immediately think of syrups cocktails that lack flavour and sophistication. However, balance is the absolute key and secret to a quality non-alcoholic cocktail. That means a balance of sweet and bitterness to create the perfect flavour for your tastes. A dash of MONIN is the perfect way to balance tartness in your drink and add exceptional flavour time and time again. Using only natural flavours and flavourings, MONIN's Curacao Orange is the perfect fit to dash into your Almave Blanco non-alcoholic cocktails.
Gusto Snacks
Wonky Apple Crisps
Wonky fruit for the win, always. If you haven't yet got in on the wonky fruit hype, you 100% should. The amount of fruit & veg wasted every year because you and I don't traditionally pick the wonky, unique ones is astonishing. Now, brands like Gusto are saving these fruits to turn them into delicious snacks.
Garnishes
A bag of orange and limes to accessorise your cocktails for maximum class & sophistication.
