Here’s a breakdown of available alcohol-free options:
Spirits
Zero-proof spirits often mimic the taste, aroma, mouthfeel and sometimes the burn of whiskey, tequila, gin and more. They are made by distilling botanicals like agave and oak to create the essence of traditional spirits. Brands to try are Monday and Seedlip (herbal gin alternatives), Caleño (tropical), Mockingbird Spirit (tequila alternative), Ritual (whiskey, tequila and gin), and Lyre’s (American malt, amaretti and more).
Wine and beer
Many alcohol-free drinks on the market mimic wines and beers. Athletic Brewing Company and BrewDog offer entire lines of non-alcoholic beers in a can, and there are a lot of local craft options. HopTea is made with real black tea and hops, TÖST is a dry sparkling beverage made with tea (and it comes in a wine bottle), and Grüvi makes both wine and beer (bubbly rosés, IPAs and more).
