The nonalcoholic drinking landscape can be overwhelming. How do you make a not-boring mocktail? What’s up with nonalcoholic champagne? And what actually tastes good? Here’s what we do know: Opting to cut out alcohol shouldn’t make your life more stressful. So we asked four HQ'rs to do the ultimate taste-test, before sharing our favorite nonalcoholic drinks and fun accessories to enjoy all month (and year) long. Cheers.
Nonalcoholic drinks
A canned mocktail that’s like a breath of fresh air…
This mocktail has just three ingredients: carbonated water, grapefruit extract, and elderflower extract. Which means you’ll feel just as good after as you did while you were sipping. If you’re looking for something more aromatic, check out their Lavender Cucumber or Cactus Rose flavors.
A low-dose THC beverage that’s redefining happy hour…
Consider this zero-sugar bubbly seltzer the opposite of a hangover. It’s made with minimal, plant-based ingredients and low-potency THC doses. It comes in flavors like Tropical Mango, Juicy Watermelon, Squeeze of Lime, and Bright Berry. PS: If you’re looking for something a little stronger, they also sell seltzers with slightly higher dosages.
A THC seltzer one HQ'r is still obsessing over...
Cann considers themselves a "social tonic" and we couldn't agree more. One of our HQ'rs taste-tested their Lemon Lavendar flavor for the first time and hasn't stopped talking about it. They have a wide range of flavors and sizes that contain hemp-derived THC and CBD to help extend that social battery and fuel a better night's sleep. This is a great option for anyone looking for a buzz without feeling it the next day.
Non-alcoholic wine that doesn't taste like non-alcoholic wine...
This brand is all about "longer nights, clearer mornings, [and] fuller conversations," and frankly, we have no notes. They have everything from a crisp blanc to a bubbly red to a canned sparkling rose you can take anywhere. The two-pack of sparkling rose and brut make for a perfect housewarming gift in the new year (or anytime, really).
A premium, sugar-free gin so you can have a consequence-free night…
This nonalcoholic gin is made from a blend of juniper, natural botanicals, citrus, and spices. It’s handcrafted in small batches from a distillery in Southern California. Just swap it in for any recipe that calls for gin.
A variety pack of kombucha to satisfy your taste buds…
With flavors like Berry Lemonade and Pink Lady Apple, these kombuchas are just the thing when you want a refreshing pick-me-up. Plus, thanks to probiotics and natural antioxidants found in the fermented tea, you’ll also contribute to your gut health each time you drink one.
Smart drinking accessories
Chic flower-shaped ice molds…
If you’re going to serve something over ice, make it extra cute with these floral ice cube molds. The set comes with two rose, daisy, and lotus molds. Each cube will also melt slowly, so you won’t have to worry about diluting your (nonalcoholic) bev.
Whiskey stones to chill your next glass…
Whiskey not required. Keep these in your freezer, and when you’re ready to start sipping, add one to your mocktail. The soapstone material won’t impact the flavor of your drink, and they come in a velvet pouch for stylish storage.
Glass markers so you can keep track of which drink is yours…
Because no one wants to accidentally sip from someone else’s cup, especially during cold and flu season. They’re also stain-resistant, absorbent, and will fit on most stemmed glasses, from wine glasses to champagne flutes.
A wine tote that’s stylish and protective…
Whether you want to use it to carry your nonalcoholic drinks to a party, or gift it along with a bottle (or two) for your friend, you really can’t go wrong. This tote has an insulated interior to ensure your drinks stay cold for hours. Plus, its interior divider is padded to keep bottles separated and avoid clinking or shattering. Bonus points for its thick comfy strap for easy transport.
