Katrina Tomacchio is The Northeast Ginger—your no-bullshit bestie, wellness disruptor and voice for the sober/sober curious peeps of the world. She’s been a non-drinker for five years, and knows a thing or two about alcohol culture through her work as an award-winning restaurateur and non-alcoholic bar consultant.
Her debut book Going in Dry drops July 8, 2025, and it’s changing the way we talk about alcohol, healing and high-vibe living. Part raw and ridiculous memoir, part guidebook to living life with less alcohol, Going in Dry will make you laugh, cry and finally muster up the courage to change your habits…for good.
What’s inside:
- Stories so raw and real, you’ll swear she read your group chat
- Practical tools for navigating life with less alcohol (without becoming boring)
- Journal prompts that’ll drag your soul and then tuck you into bed
- A reality check on what it actually means to be your best self
- Honest answers on how to cure your craving for more joy, purpose and edge—with less liquid courage

Hi, I’m Katrina.
I’m not here to sell you a green juice and pretend it’ll fix your life. I’m here for the messy, raw, deeply freeing work of coming home to yourself—without numbing, faking, or settling.
This space is for the wellness-curious, the ones who’ve outgrown the bullshit, the rebels with boundaries.
You’re not too much. You’re just waking up.
The Northeast Ginger is a real-talk wellness platform rooted in radical self-respect.
While the site’s under construction, here’s what you can expect when it relaunches:
nutrition-forward recipes that actually nourish you, mocktail creations sponsored by major brands and unfiltered alcohol-free advice on life, healing and health—from someone who’s lived it.
About the Author
Katrina Tomacchio is an award-winning restaurateur, mocktail creator and journalist known for her sharp, no-BS voice and fearless approach to wellness and sobriety—and for physically recoiling any time she catches a whiff of Southern Comfort. She’s been working in media, marketing and public relations since 2010, holds both a bachelor’s and master’s in communication and has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pencil.
Over the years, she’s built beloved bars and restaurants, crafted nationally publicized spirit-free recipes, helped establishments across the Northeast build booze-free menus and written sharp, entertaining pieces that somehow win awards—even when they’re not exactly about world peace. When she’s not busy raising three wild children or running multiple businesses, she’s probably eating something smothered in sour cream and shouting about sober empowerment on the internet.
