When it comes to stocking your fridge or cooler while entertaining, you want to make sure you have a variety of options for guests—including nonalcoholic drinks for anyone ditching booze for whatever reason. And we can do better than juice and soda here, people!
We rounded up a list of 10 popular canned mocktails that offer all the pleasure of a sippable adult beverage, with none of the booze. From alcohol-removed rosé to gut-friendly tonic, there truly is something for everyone.
1. Mixoloshe
Mixoloshe makes our favorite canned mocktails, which taste very similar to real booze.
After testing a lot of canned, zero-proof beverages for this article, we found that award-winning Mixoloshe drinks stood out the most.
These canned mocktails taste eerily like booze. The Blueberry G&T has a distinctly bitter, botanical flavor, and the Cosmic Bitter Spritz feels like sipping on an Italian cocktail. Even the Orange Old Fashioned had our whiskey-loving coworkers impressed.
Better yet, there are only five ingredients, zero artificial sugars, and only 50 calories in every can. We recommend these drinks to sober folks and cocktail-lovers alike.
2. Recess's Adaptogen-Infused Drinks
These adaptogen-infused mocktails aim to conjure a chill vibe sans booze.
Known for its line of hemp and adaptogen-infused sparkling waters, Recess drinks are designed to help you chill out—the natural way.
The brand released a line of mocktails that are inspired by popular boozy beverages, like Lime "Margarita," Watermelon "Mojito," Grapefruit "Paloma," and Ginger Lime "Mule." Each can features balancing adaptogens like guayusa, L-theanine, and lemon balm, with 0% ABV and less than five grams of sugar.
3. Mockly mocktails
These tasty mocktails offer unique flavor combinations curated by a real mixologist.
For anyone who likes to scour the cocktail menu for unusual drinks with quirky, botanical ingredients: You have to try Mockly beverages. Every can is crafted by mixologist Jesse Carr, so you can expect a nuanced flavor combination that blows boring old seltzer out of the water.
With flavors that feature ingredients like basil and lemongrass or earl grey and chili pepper, these drinks want to shake up your happy hour. They might not taste like alcohol per se, but we found them all to be delicious and perfectly refreshing.
4. Mingle Mocktails
Designed to fill the party drink void for alcohol abstainers, Mingle Mocktails offer plenty of flavor and variety.
These bright and colorful cans offer a wide range of inventive flavor combinations to keep the good times going. Founder of Mingle Mocktails, Laura Taylor wanted to craft a line of drinks that make social events more fun for sober folks like herself (and for drinkers, too! These work great as a base for cocktails).
With a mild sweetness and plenty of flavor, these drinks fill the void of ordering a fun cocktail at a bar. And they're especially great for entertaining, with so many flavor varieties for every palate—from cranberry cosmo to cucumber melon mojito.
5. De Soi Apéritifs
These health-forward apéritifs are perfect for pre-dinner sipping.
It's hard to keep track of which celebrities don't have their own liquor line these days. But Katy Perry decided to take things in a different direction when she and Morgan McLachlan launched De Soi, a brand of non-alcoholic apéritifs made with natural adaptogens.
Each flavor in the Can Variety Pack—Golden Hour, Champignon Dreams, and Purple Lune—is made from better-for-you ingredients like green tea, maca root, and reishi mushrooms. These drinks are designed to help you relax (thanks to the benefits of things like L-theanine) and enjoy complex flavors without alcohol. Fancy glass and edible flower garnish encouraged.
6. Kin Spritz
Kin Euphorics are meant to help you relax without alcohol's negative side effects.
Kin is one of those brands I constantly see on my Instagram feed, with the beautiful branding and flashy Bella Hadid promotions. If you've ever similarly scrolled past one of those ads and considered trying it out, this is your sign to pull the trigger.
We love enjoying Kin Euphorics (named for its blend of relaxing adaptogens, nootropics, and botanics) as a weekday evening mocktail, offering mild relaxation with a kombucha-meets-wine-spritzer complexity. But it's also a great option for anyone looking for an alcohol-adjacent canned drink without booze.
7. Ghia Le Spritz
Picture yourself on the Amalfi Coast this summer with a chilled Ghia Spritz.
There's a special pleasure that comes with indulging in an Aperol or Campari Spritz before dinner (preferably al fresco, and with snacks). But for folks craving that appetite-whetting pleasure without the ABV count, Ghia is here to fill that void.
The company's line of Le Spritz cans are pleasantly bitter, made with botanical extracts and natural nervines—AKA soothing herbs to help you chill out—to echo the European tradition of an apéritif. The pack comes in three varieties: Ghia Soda, Ghia Ginger, and Ghia Lime & Salt.
8. Mocktail Club
Take an international trip with Mocktail Club's line of travel-inspired drinks.
Havana Twist, Manhattan Berry, Capri Spritz, and Bombay Fire—Mocktail Club's flavors are designed to take you on a gustatory getaway from your backyard.
Founder Pauline Idogho created Mocktail Club to help mindful drinkers like herself have unique and fulfilling alternatives when they decide to skip out on alcohol. That's why each drink is infused with unique global spices designed to take you on an adventure. Plus, they're made with prebiotics and antioxidants, so you can feel extra good about taking every sip.
9. Dry Botanical Bubbly
With distinct flavors and a less-sweet taste, Dry Botanical Bubbly drinks are great for mixing and enjoying straight-up.
Tend to opt for less-sweet drinks when sipping? Dry Botanical Bubbly offers a line of flavored, botanical beverages with minimal sugar and just a few ingredients. And with nine flavors ranging from cucumber to lavender to vanilla bean, there's an option for everyone.
These cans are also great for experimenting with mocktail recipes; they work well as a mildly sweet base that's optimal for mixing with juice, syrup, shrubs—or any of the other flavored mocktails on this list.
10. Olipop tonic
These grown-up sodas are great for gut health.
It seems like everyone is trying to prioritize gut health lately. From eating fermented foods to drinking plenty of water, there are a lot of steps you can take to alleviate GI symptoms and maintain a healthier gut. Another way to heal your gut? Cut back on alcohol.
Olipop takes this move a step further, with its line of canned soda that claims to support digestive health. (Okay, this one might not be a mocktail, but who doesn't love a good old-fashioned soda every once in a while?)
Each can—with flavors ranging from Vintage Cola to Orange Squeeze—includes 9g of fiber from plant-based botanicals like cassava root, Jerusalem artichoke, and nopal cactus. The result is a refreshingly sweet drink that you wouldn't expect to contain healthy vitamins and minerals.
