Today’s DOTD - Drink Of The Day - is an Apple Cider Mule, the perfect drink for Sober October!

Sober October is a challenge to abstain from alcohol for the month of October to improve physical and mental health, that originated in the UK. The original UK challenge also raised funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, the UK’s leading cancer care charity.

While we enjoy a good drink as much or more than the next person - after all, we are in a bar - the science is clear: Drinking alcohol, especially in large quantities, increases your chances for developing cancer.

For those looking to drink less alcohol, there are a number of health benefits reported from giving up alcohol completely for 30 days. These include improved sleep quality, improved memory, better immune function, and of course, a reduced risk of multiple types of cancer.

So if you’re someone trying Sober October for the first time, or even if you don’t regularly drink alcohol, today’s DOTD, the Apple Cider Mule, can be a great alternative for you.
