Low alcohol beers
The vast majority of the drinks reviewed on My Dry Bar have either zero alcohol or a small amount (classified as between 0 – 0.5% ABV) however, there are times when I review drinks that have a low level of alcohol in them. These drinks are great if you dont want a hangover but still looking for a small edge to the drink. As such if you don’t mind a small volume of alcohol in your drinks, make sure you check out the collection of low alcohol drinks I’ve shortlisted below.
