15 Best Nonalcoholic Spirits for All Those Viral Mocktails

If it’s a tequila alternative you’re after, Ritual’s got you covered. Stock your bar cart with this best-selling zero-alcohol mixer, and stir it into your margaritas when you want a flavor profile of Meixcan lime and guava with a smoky finish. “I gave this as a gift to a pregnant friend who was really missing her margarita fix, and we both agreed that the mocktail tasted just like a marg,” says Glamour commerce director Brie Schwartz.

Looking for a gin alternative that doesn’t skimp on the sharpness you get from the alcoholic version? Glamour visuals director Kathryne Hall reaches for this nonalcoholic gin, as does Wired product writer Louryn Strampe. “Some alcohol-free spirits don’t really embody their namesakes, but Monday Gin tastes exactly like gin,” Strampe says. “It’s earthy and herbal without too much bitterness. The packaging is wonderful too.”

Cheers to your accomplishments with this champagne alternative, which two Glamour editors recommended. “I don’t really drink, period, but this is a great sparkling wine made in the south of France, and the company is female-owned and backed,” Glamour senior editor Jessica Radloff says. Glamour senior fashion editor Tchesmeni Leonard says she loves the bubbly’s not too sweet but very dry feel.

With lots of spicy notes, is Seedlip offers a great alternative to whisky in cocktails. Seedlip's northeast non-alc brand ambassador Chelsey Burger explains that it's crafted from allspice, cardamom, and citrus. “You can use Spice 94 to make Hot Toddies, Moscow Mules, Espresso Martinis, and more. It’s perfect for the Winter,” she says.

Not only is this bottle absolutely stunning, the brand has lots of alcohol-free spirits that are delicious. “The smoked agave is a great N.A. alternative to mezcal, which a product that a lot of nonalcoholic brands haven’t launched yet,” says Hilary Sheinbaum, the author behind GOING DRY: A Workbook. So definitely make sure you have this on-hand if you're looking for a non-alcoholic spicy margarita.

When you’re craving a dark & stormy, mojito, or a piña colada sans booze, turn to Ritual’s rum alternative. It maintains rum’s lush, tropical tasting notes of fruit, vanilla, and molasses—without the hangover.

With flavors of antioxidant-rich pomegranate, caffeine-free tea, agave, and chili peppers, Bombay Fire packs the punch of a spicy cocktail—with none of the alcohol. Glamour and Allure senior visuals editor Lauren Brown says she always wants to drink more than one. “It has the perfect amount of spice in its flavor profile and the benefit of not being too sweet,” she says.

Glamour contributor Andrea Navarro says she stopped drinking a year ago, and after exploring a “plethora” of nonalcoholic beverages at social events, De Soi is her fave. “I like the unique blends of flavors and adaptogenic benefits of this rosé-inspired drink,” she says. “It’s a little fruity, a little floral, and so, so crisp.” Fun fact: The brand is cofounded by Katy Perry.

De Soi also offers a variety pack, and Glamour's senior visuals editor Lauren Brown said they were a “hit at my holiday party!” She reported that her friends were drinking it right out of the can, which makes sense because they're super cute.

A subscription box from Raising the Bar lets you (or a friend, should you gift it) play mixologist by curating and delivering everything you need to stir up your own mocktails on a cadence of your choosing. Each package includes tools, alcohol-free spirits, mixers, garnishes and bitters, and cocktail recipes for mixed drinks like old-fashioneds, Bee’s Knees, and more.

Cost: Subscriptions start at $58 per box for a 1-month delivery and run up to $50.75 per box for a 12-month delivery. Shipping is an additional $10.

“I love the sweet-bitter taste of an Italian negroni, and this zero-ABV dupe tastes just like my favorite bartenders make it, minus the alcohol. You can barely tell the difference,” says Glamour's Schwartz. I’ll chime in here to say that I really can’t tell the difference at all—this is hands down my favorite nonalcoholic drink, too, especially paired with a big, fancy ice cube.

Seedlip is a bartender-recommended zero-proof spirit that’s tasty paired with a seltzer of tonic water or mixed with ingredients to make a mocktail. It’s most similar to gin but isn’t really meant to mirror any specific spirit so much as stand alone, with flavors of pea, thyme, rosemary, spearmint, hay, and hops. Nicely, it contains zero calories and no sugar.

Mocktails can be just as complex and delicious as cocktails, and this aperitivo would complement non-alcoholic negronis or help you craft lower-alcohol traditional cocktails. While Sheinbaum loves many of this brand's spirits, it should also be noted that they've won awards for this particular aperitif for its bitter, vibrant flavor.

Made in New Zealand, this brand makes full proof wines that are non-alcoholic. This means that the wine still has full-bodied flavor, but the alcohol has been removed. Sheinbaum explains that this brand has some of the most comprehensive product ranges on the market.

“They have Chardonnay, sparkling, a red blend, Pinot Grigio, rosé and more! If you aren’t going 100% dry—you’re drinking less, or you’re exploring a Damp Jan— it’s easy to switch back and forth between traditional and N.A. pours,” says Sheinbaum.
