Sips to Start the Year at Sweet Auburn Barbecue's Zero-Proof Mixology Night

Sweet Auburn Barbecue kicks off the new year with Sips to Start the Year, an interactive zero-proof mixology night in collaboration with The Zero Co. On Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 7 p.m., guests are invited to gather for a hands-on evening of mixing, muddling, and shaking, led by Sweet Auburn’s spirit expert Payton Wade alongside the experts from The Zero Co. Throughout the night, guests will learn how to craft bold, booze-free cocktails using innovative techniques and unexpected ingredient pairings that prove a great drink doesn’t need the hard stuff. The experience is paired with a three-course dinner featuring Sweet Auburn Barbecue’s signature smoked meats, classic sides, and fan-favorite dishes, creating a high-energy, flavor-packed evening that balances thoughtful mixology with serious Southern cooking. Tickets include the guided mixology session, printed recipe cards, dinner, a Zero Co. discount card, swag bags, and more. Seating is limited. Tickets are available at sweetauburnbbq.com. Sweet Auburn Barbecue is located at 656 N. Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306. Visit sweetauburnbbq.com or call (678) 515-3550 for more information.
