Here are more details about the best non-alcoholic drinks, most of them ready-made for Dry January. You could just drink water or iced tea, but what’s the fun in that?
1. Kin Euphorics Kin Spritz
Kin Euphorics Kin Spritz is the best non alcoholic drink to keep handy. Kin adds adaptogens and nootropics in their beverages, which is unique to other non alcoholic drinks. Kin Spritz comes in a cute, squatty and colorful can, which can be enjoyed either straight out of the can, or my preferred option: over ice with an orange peel. If you like spritzes with Aperol or Campari, this will hit the spot for a non-alcoholic version, and transport you directly to Italy. I like to call it Roma in a can.
2. Athletic Brewing Company Run Wild IPA
The beers at Athletic Brewing Company are brewed just like craft beer, except there are more than 10 changes to the typical process. Through this monitoring method, they can control the alcohol content without having to put the beverage through an alcohol-removal process. Run Wild IPA is a full flavored and crisp IPA, but without alcohol. At only 70 calories, it’s smooth with a balanced level of bitterness.
3. GHIA Le Spritz Combo Pack
GHIA makes one of the best non-alcoholic aperitifs available, and I especially love it with ginger beer. It has such a unique and rich bitter flavor. Le Spritz, their line of canned spritzes called can’t be missed. The ginger is my favorite, but each is unique, so try the mixed pack to find your favorite.
4. HopLark Sparkling HopTea The Green One
HopLark’s HopTea is a light and refreshing drink. Perfect for lunch, while working – really any time of day. The Green One is an interesting blend of hops and green tea with carbonation – grassy and herbaceous, but smooth. It’s unique in flavor to any other non-alcoholic beverage. The Green One contains some caffeine, but it’s Whole30 approved, gluten free, sugar free, zero calories, and zero alcohol. Truly a guilt free beverage, and delicious.
5. Noughty Organic Sparkling Chardonnay
The best alternative to a blanc de blanc Champagne, Noughty Sparkling Chardonnay is crisp, fresh, and non-alcoholic. It’s a wine made from Spanish grape juice. The alcohol is then removed through vacuum distillation, the most delicate alcohol removal process that exists. Enjoy with fresh oysters or start Dry January on NYE with this great bottle of bubbs. Or, mix it with a little bit of orange juice for a fresh brunch mimosa as your first na beverage of the new year.
6. For Bitter or Worse Eva Spritz
Who doesn’t love a spritz? For Bitter or Worse Eva Spritz is a delightful aperitif with a tart and botanical flavor, lifted by itself bubbles. It’s great on ice in a fancy glass with a little flair. It’s low in calories, and a great substitute for that pre-dinner cocktail.
7. Eins Zwei Zero Sparkling Riesling
Eins Zwei Zero Sparkling Riesling is made by Weinguit Lietz, a very reputable riesling producer in Germany. It is made as a wine, then the alcohol is removed via vacuum distillation. It has a minerality not found in other non-alcoholic wines. It leans on the sweet side, but the effervescence balances it. You can get it in a bottle too, but the cans are too cute.
8. Hiyo Watermelon Lime Sparkling Social Tonic
Hiyo makes a line of adaptogenic canned beverages including Watermelon Lime Sparkling Social Tonic. This beverage is meant to be uplifting, with a blend of organic adaptogens and fruit juice concentrate, and it tastes like watermelon with a bit of tartness. It’s perfect for summer or dreaming of summer while waiting out the cold.
9. Health-Ade Kombucha Bubbly Rosé
Made with flavors of hawthorn berry, mangosteen and pink rose, Health-Ade Bubbly Rosé is refreshing and delicious. It contains added sugar, so consider pouring a little over ice and/or mixing with sparkling water, for a lighter, refreshing non alcoholic beverage.
10. Jukes The Rosé Non-Alcoholic Cordial
Jukes is a sophisticated take on a wine alternative and was created for the discerning palate. Jukes The Rosé Non-Alcoholic Cordial is made with a base of apple cider vinegar, with a blend of fruits and spices, and pairs intriguingly well with food. One cordial makes two drinks, meant to be mixed with still or sparkling water.
11. Untitled Art Italian Pilsner
Non-alcoholic beer is a great alternative to alcohol, and easy to keep around for Dry January and beyond. Untitled Art Italian Pilsner is a hoppy version of a Pilsner beer, and something fun and new to try.
12. Parch Spicy Piñarita
Parch Spicy Piñarita is reminiscent of a spicy margarita, but is so much more. This delicious, ready-to-drink beverage is made with roasted pineapple juice and agave, spicy mole bitters, and botanicals for depth. Not only that, it contains adaptogens for a cool sense of calm, everything you might want from a tropical beverage, but without the alcohol. Dress it up with some fund garnish and transport yourself to paradise.
13. St. Agrestis Phony Negroni
Ah, the Negroni. If you love this bitter cocktail, St. Agrestis Phony Negroni will not disappoint. It is bitter like the cocktail, but slightly carbonated for added zip, and slightly floral with prominent botanical flavors like citrus and juniper. It’s great chilled right out of the bottle.
14. Curious Elixir #3
Curious Elixir No. 3 is another adaptogenic beverage and contains ashwagandha, a plant used in Ayurvedic practice for centuries. It tastes similar to a non alcoholic Cucumber Collins with herbs, flowers, cucumber, and lemon juice. Potential health benefits might include a boost in energy, reduced stress, and aid in digestion, not to mention the obvious added benefit of not drinking alcohol. Add ice for a refreshing drink! Read the full review with more of the lineup.
15. Kin Euphorics Lightwave
Kin Euphorics Lightwave is a calming blend of adaptogens, lavender and vanilla, with a touch of salt. It tastes smooth like comfort and makes a great nightcap.
16. Acid League Sauvage
If you 1) love wine and 2) love trying new foods, Acid League Wine Proxies Sauvage will blow your mind. It’s a balanced blend of acid, fruit, and botanicals specifically designed to enjoy with food, the way you would wine. Sauvage is crisp and refreshing, with acidity from apple cider vinegar and tart green apple.
Note: Proxies are not wine and do not taste like wine, but they are an altogether new way of experiencing a meal for discerning palates. There are always new flavors being released to keep you on your toes. While everyone doesn’t love Wine Proxies, those that do are true fans, so try them yourself to see if you like them.
Easy Mocktails for Dry January
There are also some easy, two-ingredient mocktails that are simple to mix up and set you up for healthy, alcohol-free habits. Keep a bottle of one of these non alcoholic spirits handy, and mix with tonic water (Recommendation: Fever Tree Refreshingly Light Tonic Water (link to check price).
17. Wilfred’s Bittersweet Non-Alcoholic Aperitif
Wilfred’s Bittersweet Non-Alcoholic Aperitif is a distilled blend of rosemary, bitter orange, rhubarb, and clove. The blend is truly a balance of bitter and sweet, with a concentrated flavor that is perfect to mix with tonic for a quick non-alcoholic spritz. Of course, Wilfred’s also makes some other delicious mocktails as proven in the full review, if you’re feeling up to it.
18. Aplos Non-Alcoholic Hemp Spirit
Unique to the list, Aplos is a hemp-infused non-alcoholic spirit and a crowd pleaser. Crafted as a collaboration with a James Beard honoree, Aplos tastes like yuzu and herbs with a light calming effect from hemp. The herbs are a great match with tonic, almost like drinking a g&t.
19. Seedlip Garden 108
Seedlip Garden 108 mixed with tonic water is a unique and refreshing herbal beverage. Inspired by the English countryside, Seedlip Garden has hints of pea, hay, and herbs. I love this as an alternative to more juniper-forward non-alcoholic spirits.
20. Monday Zero Alcohol Gin
After lots of taste-testing non alcoholic gins, Monday Zero Alcohol Gin made the best version of a non-alcoholic gin and tonic, as the herbal extracts in it mimic a London dry gin. In addition, it can deliver some impressive non alcoholic classic cocktails, making it one of the best non-alcoholic gins. Read the full Monday gin review with recipes.
