We are living in a golden age of non-alcoholic drinks for grown-ups. Once upon a time, those eschewing alcohol were relegated to sugary soft drinks, club soda, and plain old water, but in recent years, a surge in the mocktail scene has brought sophisticated, alcohol-free sips to fine dining drinks programs and home bar carts alike. Many of the highest rated restaurants and bars in the country are offering a slew of "soft" and no-ABV cocktail options, and creative distillers have stepped up to the challenge to craft non-alcoholic options to replace the nuances that traditional booze might provide. Filled with carefully selected flavor notes to evoke traditional spirits, these substitutes for whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, and liqueurs will please even the most discerning palates.
Whether you're looking to cut back in the post-holiday season or seeking a flavorful buzz-free option to enjoy year-round, these are some of the best non-alcoholic spirits to add to your collection.
