We know there’s a vaccine, but cases are also spiking. We just celebrated New Year’s, but we’re still relegated to playing gin rummy in our underwear at home for a nightly activity (for more ideas on how to turn your pathetic nightly charade into a culturally relevant activity, check out [Kalsarikännit](). Yes, there’s something particularly dispiriting about this particular period of time, when it feels like something’s gotta give, but nothing has quite changed yet. As John Mayer once said, “I wanna run through the halls of my high school, I wanna scream at the top of my lungs, I want to run into a frenemy at a crowded event and have to make awkward small talk while trying to get the bartender’s attention, but I can’t do any of those things yet.” I’m paraphrasing. In lieu of actual dynamic changes, let’s go on our daily journey of the imagination, shall we? Thrillist has some good distractions—some nice ways to stimulate your mind when you can barely get yourself from the bed to the desk. Today we have: a list of actually good non-alcoholic beverages for people who are cleansing… a look at the ways that TikTok is changing the ways people think about travel… the scoop on two new Starbucks winter beverages… an article about Sanibel Island, aka the anti-Florida of Florida… and finally, some Italian sandwich kits you’re gonna wanna try (that’s right, I’m still pushing these Italian sandwich kits… just call me [Artie Bucco](). I’m gonna go do a couple laps around the neighborhood and force myself to walk one more block so my pedometer doesn’t get mad at me. It’s ALL I HAVE, OKAY?!!?!?! Much love, [-Ned Riseley, Newsletter Contributor]( [ [( food & drink [] [The Kind of Non-Alcoholic Beverages You'll Actually Want to Drink This Month]( So you think you can practice Dry January? More power to ya! If you need some help coming up with creative ways to keep it sober this season (or any season, for that matter), check out our list of wonderful alcohol substitutes, from kombucha to “shrubs” to “seedlips.” Seedlips are like spirits, but without the alcohol… sounds kind of ideal, actually. A botanical elixir fit for a Druid! Make mine a double. [] [No Booze for Me]( [( *Sponsored Ads List [( travel [] [Travel TikTok Puts a More Realistic Lens on Globetrotting]( This article looks at the ways that the hyper-perfectionistic travelogues of Instagram influencers are becoming passé. Enter, Travel TikTok, where you can find more honest and grounded accounts of how people are figuring out travel in these truly whackadoo times. Every time I watch a TikTok, I feel like I’m gonna start having epileptic seizures from the editing, but maybe if I really put in some time, I can conquer my fears and start enjoying the rapidly changing video footage, sporadic text, and over-the-top filters of TikTok. Am I aging myself? [] [Take Me There!]( [( [( news [] [Pistachio Lattes for Everyone!]( Every time I have a cold brew, I end up shaking, Googling conspiracy theories, and having an existential crisis that ends in tears. It’s not unlike what happens to me when I watch a TikTok, only it’s more bodily. That having been said, maybe this new cold brew from Starbucks will turn things around for me and cold brew. I’ll never learn. There’s also a Pistachio Latte that sounds… dareIsay… DELICIOSO (that’s Italian for “I want one”). Read this article to get the full scoop on the new Starbucks drinks coming this winter. [] [Caffeine Time]( [( [( travel [] [Get Me to Sanibel Island, Pronto]( I love Florida. It’s an outrageous, lawless, gorgeous peninsula. When I think of Florida, I imagine a man with long, stringy, blonde hair and a mustache stealing a catamaran with the woman who plays Cinderella at Disney World. Have you ever played that game where you Google “Florida Man” + your birthday, and that is the oracle for your life? My oracle is this article, entitled, “Naked Florida man stood in a fire and chanted ‘gibberish.’ Mushrooms did it, cops say.” The game never disappoints. Anyway! This is not about that! This is about Sanibel Island, a beautiful, not-so-secret hideaway in Florida that we think is just PEACHY. [] [Sail Away]( [( *720x300 Ad Banner [( food & drink [] [You Look Like You Could Use Some Soppressata]( I’m just a guy, standing in front of a Thrillist newsletter subscriber, imploring them once again to purchase this Italian sandwich-making kit. I’m honestly gonna do it, cuz these look friggin’ spectacular. The sesame semolina bread… the fresh mootzarell’... the gabagool! Your mouth is gonna water when you see these salacious sandwich snaps. [We are making you an offer you absolutely cannot refuse.]( Well, Goldbelly is, but I am their humble messenger, and I just gotta say… you deserve these sandwiches.
