Gone are the days of horrible tasting non-alcoholic beer and overly sweet mocktails. These days, you can easily enjoy nonalcoholic (or minimal alcohol content) beverages without missing the taste of alcohol. Here are the best alternative drinks for a healthier lifestyle:
Flavored sparkling water is all the rage these days. Brands like La Croix and Bubly are practically commonplace these days. Discover your favorite brand of sparkling water.
Recommendation: Spindrift Sparkling Seltzer
Why not gain some health benefits from your drink? Vinegar-based drinks are a great way to lead a healthier lifestyle. You can pour a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in your cold water, try out a trendy shrub, or taste an Asian fruit vinegar drink. See all the varieties of vinegar-based drinks.
Recommendation: Shrubs & Fruit Vinegars
“Booch” as the kids call it. Kombucha has some wonderful health benefits including probiotics to clean out your gut from the fermentation of black and green teas. Note that since it is made from teas, kombucha has caffeine. Find your go-to brand of kombucha.
Recommendation: poppi Sparkling Prebiotic
While not 100% nonalcoholic, bitters allow you to enjoy the taste of a cocktail without the heavy alcohol content. You can pour a couple of dashes of these bitters into sparkling water, soda water, or tonic water to mix your own drink. Discover the lineup of bitters.
Zero proof (as in 0% ABV) “spirits” like gin and whiskey are gaining ground in the booze-free cocktail world. You can still enjoy the taste of the botanicals and grains without the nasty alcohol headaches or side effects. Find out the brands and labels of zero proof bottles.
While there are no-alcohol wines, there are also brands doing a better job at replicating the deep wine tasting notes without any of the alcohol nor day-after hangover.
