Mocktails are quickly becoming one of the trendiest beverages you can order today. From local coffee shops to high-end hotel bars, most venues are continuing to offer more and more alcohol-free drinks to an increasingly demanding clientele.
Providing the same signature tastes of classic cocktails, mocktails are a great choice for all those interested in a refreshing drink without the dizzying effects of standard alcoholic beverages. Lucky, there’s plenty of canned mocktail brands floating around the industry today, each of which are well worth trying.
Medase
Co-founded by a pair of lifelong best friends, Medase is a cocktail brand with a truly empowering story behind it. Offering zero-proof canned cocktails of every conceivable flavor, Medase is a Black- and female-owned brand that also happens to deliver one refreshing drink after the next.
With playful product names like Goodnight Moon (an alcohol-free Moscow Mule) and Heavana Can’t Wait (Mojito), Medase is a fantastic beverage option boasting drinks that are as fun to say as they are to sit down and enjoy.
Recess
One of the biggest names in the mocktail industry today, Recess also has a healthy assortment of zero-proof products featuring surprisingly nutritious effects.
While you can always order any one of the company’s classic mocktails (including a Cosmo, Margarita, or Grapefruit Paloma), the brand also offers extensive sample packs to mix and match your favorite flavors.
De Soi
Describing itself as “alcohol-free aperitifs,” De Soi features every major mocktail variety you can possibly imagine, from a sweet and salty Margarita to a slightly tart Spritz. What sets this brand apart from its competitors, however, is the level of customization that comes with ordering from De Soi.
Though you have the option of building your own variety pack, De Soi also offers shoppers the chance to sign up for a continuous subscription. Through this option, you’ll be able to have any of De Soi’s most beloved veverages shipped right to your door! No additional fees, no arduous ordering process. Just simple, thirst-quenching drinks delivered without any hassle.
Free Spirits
As with the other brands featured on this list, Free Spirits has a long list of ready-made canned mocktails, including such traditional staples as Negronis, Espresso Martinis, Old Fashioneds, and more.
In addition to these canned goods, Free Spirits also offers an array of more unique alcohol-free liquors, such as zero-proof tequila, bourbon, and gin, among others. The perfect option for all those who love a glass of straight whiskey, it’s also great for concocting your own cocktails at home!
Years Beer
Okay, yes, technically Years Beer isn’t a mocktail – rather, it’s a similarly health-conscious brand of non-alcoholic beer. Given its incredibly meager amount of ABV (roughly 0.5%), however, we thought it only fitting to mention this cult-favorite brand as a viable alternative to beer.
With classic styles like Pale Ale, Original Pilsner, and Belgian Wit making up its catalog, Years Beer is a must-try for all those who routinely reach for a brew during a bachelor party or bustling wedding ceremony. With just 50 calories per can, it’s also a comparatively healthier option to a traditional spirit, especially when compared to heavier, more full-bodied beer brands out there.
