If you’ve started to notice a cultural shift in the way we consume alcohol, you’re not alone. There are a myriad of reasons to cut booze out of your diet from a health standpoint but when something like alcohol is so embedded into our norms it can be really hard to avoid. Not drinking can feel anti-social and leading that movement among your friend circles might feel intimidating, even if it’s in your best interest.
If this is you – or maybe you’ve been on the zero-proof train for a while! – we curated a list of mocktails to help the cause. These non-alcoholic options are delicious, they will look beautiful in any cocktail glass, and many of them have mood-boosting properties that won’t deprive you of a social lubricant.
This summer, fill your beer fridge and pool coolers with some of our favorite non-alcoholic products. We’ve detailed and linked to these healthy options below.
This non-alcoholic, functional beverage, uses ingredients that nourish the mind and body. Kin mocktails include adaptogens which are added to help manage stress and nootropics that support brain cognition. Their line of spirit-centered flavors is energy-transforming and helps tune your mood to bring out your inner peace.
Recess’s craft beverages are zero-proof and infused with hemp and adaptogens to keep you cool, calm, and collected. They have great cocktail-mimicking flavors like watermelon mojito and ginger-lime mule. No hangover included.
We love Ghia’s non-alcoholic aperitif. This summer spritz has that sophisticated, bitter-in-a-good-way bite. Top Ghia’s signature aperitif with one of their sparkling waters for a light, dry, refreshing beverage, perfect for patio dinner parties with the people you love.
This alternative is another great place to start for a sober or sober-curious journey. This product has stress-relieving, mood-boosting properties to make for a healthier social lubricant. Their ingredients promote stress relief, energy, and focus.
It sounds contradictory but OliPop is a soda that’s good for you. These sodas come in flavors as familiar as cherry cola to more whimsical sips like banana cream. The best part? These products contain healthy bacteria that promote digestive health.
