Mindful January at Fairmont: Three Spirit-Free Cocktails to Start the Year with Intention

January invites a different kind of celebration — one rooted in balance, clarity and choice. This year, Fairmont properties across the brand have come together to mark Mindful January, a shared moment that celebrates thoughtful drinking and the joy of gathering, without sacrificing flavour or craft.

In partnership with Seedlip, the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirit, each Fairmont bar team was challenged to create three original, spirit-free cocktails designed to feel just as considered and celebratory as any classic. Guests can enjoy these creations in ARC throughout January — or bring the experience home with the recipes below.
