Ordering a non-alcoholic cocktail used to mean a choice between a juicy and overly sweet drink or yet another soda water. Times have changed, though, largely thanks to a few craft cocktail bartenders who had a vision for "zero-proof" menus—tasty and stylish drinks that fit in perfectly with other craft beverages.
It was an idea whose time had come, both with patrons and other bartenders. Now, whether it's called the "PG list" or "temperance drinks," every great cocktail bar has an alcohol-free section, stacked with contemporary zero-proof options, many of which provide healthy inspiration for entertaining at home, too.
New Fashioned
This zero-proof twist on the classic old fashioned is a dry and sophisticated sipper with a bold hit of chai tea.
Café Alexander
A dessert cocktail if we've ever seen one, this decadent drink is the perfect way to call it a day.
Pineapple Panache
Bright, tropical, and slightly spicy, this zero-proof version of a mulled wine is the perfect way to warm up on chilly winter evenings.
