Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned is a lethal injection of flavors proving you don’t need to be drunk to be punk. – Alice Cooper
WhistlePig Whiskey, renowned for its bold stance on craft whiskey and rye, is shaking up Dry January with a new limited-edition release designed to challenge the status quo. Partnering with legendary shock rocker Alice Cooper, WhistlePig introduces the Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned – a non-alcoholic cocktail that lets fans indulge in a rebellious experience without the booze. With 100% of the profits benefiting the bartending community, this innovative drink invites consumers to embrace their other vices for a good cause.
Crafted with a unique blend of non-psychoactive ingredients, the Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned brings together 100% Rye Non-Whiskey, Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup, adaptogenic Cordyceps, Schisandra Berry, and the aphrodisiac Damiana. The result is a complex and mind-bending experience that doesn’t require alcohol to deliver a full-on rock-and-roll vibe. WhistlePig’s Head Blender, Meghan Ireland, emphasized that last year’s Dank January release proved there’s an appetite for high-quality non-alcoholic cocktails. “No Dry January drinker should miss out on a high-quality Old Fashioned made with real, aged Rye ‘Non-Whiskey,’ nor the freedom to be obscene (even if they’re clean),” Ireland said.
For those curious about the flavor profile, WhistlePig states the rye non-whiskey is “a rock anthem in a glass, opening with a headlining act of summer berries, wild herbs, and flinty black pepper to amp up your senses. On the palate, candied lime takes center stage with a citrus riff, while smoky mushroom umami lays down a bassline of depth and balance. It closes with a power chord that leaves you ready to rock out with your cocktail out all month long.”
In collaboration with Alice Cooper, WhistlePig is offering a unique experience that ties music and flavor together. Fans who purchase the limited-edition Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned will also have the opportunity to grab a limited edition vinyl of Alice Cooper’s album Breadcrumbs. Additionally, a select number of lucky winners will be invited to join Cooper at a once-in-a-lifetime golf outing and listening party.
I’ve been shocking audiences for years with snakes, guillotines, and enough fake blood to fill the Grand Canyon. But now these maniacs at WhistlePig have gone and SHOCKED ME with a non-alcoholic cocktail.

The Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned is available starting January 1, 2025, for $49.99 per 750mL bottle. WhistlePig is also offering a Go Pig Go Bundle priced at $199.99, which includes the bottled cocktail alongside a limited-edition rye liquid-infused vinyl. With only 250 units available, this bundle is a must-have for Alice Cooper collectors. A portion of the profits from both products will be donated to Giving Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides emergency assistance to food service workers, ensuring that bartenders and service staff are supported through difficult times.
We are so grateful to WhistlePig for partnering with Giving Kitchen to support the resilient food service workers and bartenders who bring joy to our lives.
