FAQs
Zero Alcohol Spirits...but why?
We get it. A boozeless spirit sounds strange. But here's the thing, everyone approaches drinking from a different place, for different reasons. You could be part of the growing sober/curious movement, pregnant, dealing with some health issues, tonight’s DD, have a big day at the office, can’t be flat for tomorrow’s gym session, or just plain want to live life on your own terms free of those hangover feels (for a day, week, month, year, or forever)! Monday Gin, Monday Whiskey, & Monday Mezcal satisfies your drink fix without the alcohol.
Is Monday for me?
YES! If you LOVE COCKTAILS & HATE HANGOVERS, we’re your first class ticket to flavor town - a direct flight with zero stops (later to layovers in blackout city) and a killer drinks service.
What’s the best way to start drinking Monday?
The world is your spirited oyster! Pour us in your glass all night long as your new fav or rotate us in after a few of your boozy go-tos. We’re not here to judge or prescribe, we’re here to help.
Does it really taste like the hard stuff?
YES! We’ve sourced the finest ingredients for our award winning distiller to produce spot-on flavor profiles. Monday Gin is just like your favorite London-dry style spirit that’s complex, aromatic, and even finishes with the familiar kick of a fine adult beverage. Monday Whiskey is an All American that pairs perfectly with bitters on the rocks, simply with cola or ginger ale, or in a classic cocktail (hello Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Whiskey Sour). And Monday Mezcal can be sipped simply, paired with fresh citrus, south of the border heat, or chocolate, or enjoyed in agave spirit classics like a Margarita, Paloma, Sunrise, or Oaxaca Old Fashioned. Salud!
Wait, isn’t alcohol needed to be considered a ‘grown-up’ drink?
Tall tales like this are up there with our grandparents who, ‘walked to school in the snow. Uphill. Both ways. In San Diego.’ The idea that alcohol has to be present to be adult is outdated and untrue - we and the people we’d like to support don’t live our lives by someone else’s rules. And that’s why we created Monday - so you can drink the drinks you want to drink, socialize on equal footing with friends and be free from alcohol-based worries.
Where is Monday made?
Monday is born and raised in our backyard - San Diego, CA. We know the stakes are high launching in the capital of craft (they’ve been known to escort sub-par drink makers to the county line - true story), but we’re up to the task and take pride in what we’ve created.
How do I drink Monday?
Tip us over and pour us out - mix us up in your cocktail of choice in place of the hard stuff. Need a little inspo? We like our Gin with soda, splash of tonic, and a squeeze of fresh lime. For Whiskey, try pouring simply over large ice with some crisp, spicy ginger ale and twist of lemon. With Mezcal, combine with squeezed lemon, lime, and agave syrup for a fresh take on the classic Margarita. Looking for more? Check out our drinks blog. Cheers!
Is Monday Gin a bit cloudy looking or is it just me?
Yes indeed, our liquid is cloudy! This is due to our unique process that expels the natural oils from the juniper berries and other botanicals to give us the bold flavor profile we want minus the alcohol we don't =) If we were in the beer world, you could liken us to Hazy IPAs in this way. Enjoy a few ounces over ice with a bit of nice tonic and squeeze of fresh lime if handy. Enjoy!
Are your spirits less concentrated than the boozy kinds?
Nope. Monday packs a huge flavor punch. Pour us 1:1 instead of any standard spirit and watch your favorite cocktail recipe come to life.
Does Monday have calories?
Not. One. Single. Calorie.
Are there any allergens?
Monday is free from all the “Big-8” allergens (egg, milk, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, soy beans) as well as gluten free. If you're concerned about something more specific, give us a shout via hello@drinkmonday.co.
Any sugar?
Monday spirits are sugar free.
Keto friendly?
Monday contains no carbs, so we’re super Keto friendly!
Is Monday zero alcohol?
Yes, we are a 0% ABV (alcohol by volume) non-alcoholic spirit.
But does Monday have trace alcohol like other foods and beverages?
Yes, we contain between 0.3-0.5% ABV. This is on par with the alcohol content found in a ripe banana, about 2-3x less than the bun on a typical burger, and up to 7x less alcohol than the soy sauce on your poke bowl. Who knew, right?! #mindblown
How long does Monday last?
We’re best poured up to 6 months after opening.
Do I need to refrigerate after opening?
Nope. We’re happy to sit at the bar or in your liquor cabinet keeping your other spirits company.
I don't even like spirits. What am I doing here?
You sound like a super caring person looking for a delicious drink that makes your alcohol free friends happy when they swing by your party. That or maybe you’re searching for a beautiful, unique gift for the newly sober curious in your life. Last resort, you might be lost. The internet is a big place, so it happens. Can we call someone for you?
