About Non-Alcoholic Drinks

The alcohol-free drinks market is booming. Some options are great, while others are still finding their footing. Here’s what you need to know.

If you're new to sobriety, or if alcohol dependence is a concern, these drinks might not be ideal yet. They can stir cravings and make recovery harder. Always check in with your support team before trying them.

For those further along or just cutting back, non-alcoholic drinks can be quite useful. They're perfect for situations where you want the experience of drinking without the consequences:m. They’re also handy for "zebra stripping," alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to control your intake.

Adjust your expectations. Alcohol carries a lot of flavor and texture, so non-alcoholic drinks have their own unique profile. Once you accept them as their own category, you’ll enjoy them for what they bring to the table.

The process behind them is impressive. New methods preserve flavor, and premium brands use advanced techniques to dealcoholize wine or beer without losing too much of the original taste. Yes, this can make them pricier.

When picking quality drinks, look for:

• Clean, simple ingredients

• Clear production methods

• Well-balanced flavors

• Good texture and body

• Real aromas

My top recommended brands:

• Three Spirit

• Franz von Fein 

• Pathfinder

• Botivo

• Lyre's

• Seedlip

• Zeronimo Wines
