As far from a traditional recipe book as you can get, Dry Spell will teach you how to create and garnish your own beautiful mocktail recipes using a variety of techniques that author and illustrator JoAnne Pearce has picked up over the past three years.

She also shares tips on navigating early sobriety by tackling topics like embracing discomfort and reconnecting to creativity without booze. A candid, curious and wildly creative take on sobriety, this truly unique offering is unlike anything else you’ve seen on the subject.

Start oiling your cauldrons and sharpening your pencil crayons, Dry Spell will have you conjuring a whole new kind of magic.

We've spent the past eight months working on a new project, and now we are so excited to share it with y'all. While Mock-Ups will stay alive and well in the sober space, and continue to bring you books and sober living content, we have seen too much interest in catering and tutorials to keep it all under one lid. So, without further ado...

Introducing Spilt: a zero-proof catering, education and consulting service. Coming at you from JoAnne Pearce and Andrew Paul from , and Keenan Pascal of fame, Spilt will be slinging your drinks like you've never had them slung before.

Give us a follow on our new account (), and come knock over the cocktail scene with us!

So many exciting things coming up, but I’d still rather be long-weekending with this goofball…

Hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving! 🥂 🦃
