So you’re doing dry January this year and so you’re looking for some zero alcohol drinks options. Well look no further! I have searched the internet to provide you with eight delicious drinks that contain absolutely no alcohol. Some of these are so good that you might even decide never to go back to drinking alcohol…
1. Alcohol free beer
There are lots of great alcohol free beers available now. BrewDog and Heineken are two of the best rated options. I know people who have given up alcohol but still enjoy one of these alcohol free alternatives on a summers evening and it still hits the spot.
2. Sparkling tea
Now this is one I had never heard of but it sounds amazing. REAL create sparkling teas that are a great alternative to alcohol. The brand was created when founder, David gave up alcohol and quickly discovered that there weren’t many good alternative out there. Their sparkling teas are available in bottles or cans and in a variety of different flavours.
3. Mocktails/Virgin cocktails
There are so many options when it comes to mocktails, and they really can taste just as god as the real things. Check out Pinterest for loads of mouth watering zero alcohol cocktail recipes, including mojito, lemon drop, martini, pina colada, amaretto sour and many more. The pina colada is my own personal favourite!
4. 0% alcohol wine
Just like beer, there are many zero alcohol wine options available now. Whether you prefer white, red or rose wine, there’s an option for everyone. Brands that come highly recommended are Ariel, Spark & Sharp, Torres and Oddbird.
5. Nosecco – zero alcohol prosecco
Alcohol free prosecco, yes you read that right! I have tried Nosecco actually, along with other low alcohol proseccos and they are all very good. Freixenet have an alcohol free prosecco too which gets good reviews.
6. Alcohol free spirits
Alcohol free spirits are relatively new to the market but are quickly growing in popularity. You can now get zero alcohol gin, spiced rum, amaretto, vermouth and many more. These would be great to drink on their own, with a mixer, or added to one of the mocktail recipes mentioned earlier in this article.
7. Tonic water
When I gave up alcohol briefly a couple of years ago, I enjoyed a simple flavoured tonic water. They are available in many different flavours, and because we are so used to mixing tonic with gin it definitely makes you feel like you are enjoying a gin and tonic. You could even mix a flavoured tonic with an alcohol free gin for a really delicious drink.
8. Non alcoholic cider
Kopparberg are well known for their flavoured ciders and are loved by many. But did you know that they also have zero alcohol cider? It’s available in strawberry & lime flavour and would be the perfect refreshing accompaniment to a summer BBQ.
Have you come across any great alcohol free drinks? I’d love to know all about them. Leave me a comment below and let me know.
Thank you for reading.
