"Since launching in May, the #Seoul Morning #Coffee Club’s #CoffeeRave has become a viral success, drawing hundreds of like-minded Seoulites from the comfort of their beds to dance at daybreak.

Attendees, who have paid 20,000 won (about $14) for their ticket, start trickling in at 7 a.m., and line up for their drink of choice, often an iced Americano or a matcha. By 8 a.m., the DJ is pumping out hypnotic bass beats for an enthusiastic crowd of revelers who are jumping in unison in the clear, bright light of day, with nothing but #caffeine to fuel their #boozefree #rave."

And its new LAGER ZERO catapults to the top of my list for booze-free Japanese beers. (And better than a lot of imports too.)

Last evening, my friend made me a deliciously refreshing #strawberries & #pomegranate #mocktail with chili salt rim & lime wedge.
A lovely after work, #nonalcoholic Summertime #beverage.
