"The problem with Cheeky and Dry, the new nonalcoholic bottle shop on Phinney Ridge, is that it’s difficult to describe what it sells. Opened this month by Kirstin and Yura Vracko, Cheeky and Dry sells beverages to the growing number of people who want sophisticated drinks but don’t want to get drunk. Part of the shop is devoted to “functional” beverages, the name for the type of NA drinks that claim to chill you out or give you a mental boost due to nootropics, adaptogenics, or CBD. The advantage to coming into Cheeky and Dry rather than ordering some of these bottles online is that you can taste the different NA spirits to find ones you like, whether that’s the ginger-heavy Tennyson or the cucumber-and-floral Lacewing from Tilden." - Harry Cheadle
