15 Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks For A Relaxing Alternative (2024 Review)
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
I’ve tried dozens of the best alcohol alternatives out there — these are my favorites that use high-quality ingredients for taste and functionality.
Non-alcoholic beverages are having a moment. And with how long this moment’s been going on, it looks like the booze-free bevvies are here to stay. The non-alcoholic drinks market surpassed $11 billion worldwide in 2022, and was valued at a whopping $1.3 trillion in 2023. And now, in 2024, non-alc drinks are officially more than a trend, owing to Gen Z’s more restrained drinking habits.
While abstaining from spirits used to mean ordering a Coke at the bar, that trillion-dollar market now has plenty of alternatives — non-alcoholic cocktails that taste like real cocktails, non-alcoholic beer that tastes kind of like beer, non-alcoholic wine that tastes like real wine, non-alcoholic wine that doesn’t taste anything like wine, and non-alcoholic seltzers that taste like well, all kinds of things. Some of them even have adaptogens, caffeine, or THC in them — and these functional alternatives are some of our favorite options of the bunch.
Why consider alcohol alternatives?
There are lots of reasons you could be refraining from drinking alcohol (and they’re all valid!) Maybe you’re sober. Or you’re sober curious. You’re doing a Dry January or a Sober October. You’ve had the worst hangover and are “Never. Drinking. Again!” (We’ve been there.) You’re prioritizing your health, you hate the way alcohol makes you feel, or you simply dislike how it tastes. Maybe you’re pregnant! Like we said, the list could go on and on. Whatever the reason you might be abstaining, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the ritual of winding down with a special beverage.
What to look for in a nonalcoholic beverage?
As noted above, these types of drinks vary greatly. Some taste like cocktails, some are all about the adaptogens and nootropics, and some are their own thing entirely. While the non-alcoholic scene is all about honoring your own preferences, the below list has an emphasis on functional (or adaptogen- and nootropic-containing) beverages, designed to help you feel a little more relaxed or social without the full-on tipsiness.
You’ll also find details about sugar content, caffeine content, and flavor profiles below, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for. Whether you reach for a rocks glass or a stem glass, these are a handful of drinks that are making us rethink spirits and how delicious an alcohol-free drink can taste.
Our methodology & criteria:
The Good Trade was sent these 15 alcohol-free beverages for review and I’ve personally tested them all for taste, functionality, and high-quality ingredients. Below, you’ll find my reviews with tasting notes and research, too. We continuously update this list with new favorites that meet the following criteria.

- HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENTS | I’ve reviewed brand materials for each of these drinks and vetted them to make sure they use primarily organic, ethically sourced, and natural ingredients.
- TASTE | We’ve selected only drinks that are pleasant in taste, and many of which are still reminiscent of your favorite alcoholic beverages (without all the alcohol, of course). I’ve included tasting notes for each brand.
- FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS | Many of these brands use natural plants, herbs, fruits, and flowers to provide added health benefits. I’ve noted the effects so you can choose what suits you best, from relaxation to feeling energized.

1. Curious Elixirs
Best For | Cocktail-inspired botanicals
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 4–11g
Functional ingredients | Ashwagandha
Price | $44 per 4-bottle pack (8 cocktails), $5.50 per serving; subscriptions available
Handcrafted in the Hudson River valley, Curious Elixirs uses organic juices, spices, herbs, roots, barks, and botanicals for its elixirs designed to resemble elevated craft cocktails. Whether you opt for the floral blend boosted with ashwagandha or the carbonated concoction cooled with ginseng, the drinks are best enjoyed on the rocks with your favorite garnish.
I tried out their Curious No. 1, a pomegranate negroni sbagliato that tasted surprisingly accurate. It was less bitter than a traditional negroni, but those are too bitter in my opinion. It read like an expensive drink from a nice cocktail bar, with a kombucha-esque kick to it — I loved it. Each bottle contains two servings, so these are best for parties, dates, or any time you need more than one drink, and they make single-serving can options, too. All their cocktails are also fair trade and free of added sugar, gluten, dairy, and nuts. Want more info? Read our full Curious Elixirs review!

2. De Soi
Best For | NA apéritifs
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 6–13g
Functional ingredients | L-theanine, lion’s mane, reishi
Price | $20 per 4-can pack, $4.25 per serving; subscriptions available
Inspired by the French ethos of pleasure and restraint, De Soi’s range of sparkling non-alcoholic apéritifs is full of natural adaptogens. Botanicals like ashwagandha and reishi mushroom help mellow your mind and boost your mood, so you can enjoy a more considered happy hour. And they don’t sacrifice taste — I tried out their Golden Hour and their seasonal Spritz Italiano, both of which were tasty and complex enough to scratch that cocktail itch. Spritz Italiano is a fantastic Aperol spritz dupe, a little more grapefruit-y but with that same satisfying hint of bitterness. And Golden Hour was botanical, punchy, and refreshing — what I thought was a strong ginger flavor was really yuzu, bergamot, and hops. Founded by Morgan McLachlan and Katy Perry (yes, that Katy Perry!), De Soi is also available in the flavors Champignon Dreams and Très Rosé.

3. WYNK
Best For | THC + CBD lovers
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 0g
Functional ingredients | Pure THC oil
Price | $25 for 6-can pack, $4.17 per serving; subscriptions available
WYNK’s seltzers are a bit different from anything else on this list — they’re infused with THC. They come in two sizes, both with mild doses of THC and CBD (2.5 milligrams and 5 milligrams each), and four fruity flavors, although they’re all sugar-free. They have a super subtle cannabis flavor that leaves no aftertaste and makes them easy to drink — they mostly just taste like a fruity seltzer. Black cherry was my favorite flavor, but you can also find mango, lime, and tangerine. The seltzers advertise a 10- to 15-minute onset for a gentle, bubbly buzz that I can attest to, making them perfect for a laid-back social mixer or night in when you need to take the edge off without the effects of a hangover. We love how customizable their purchasing options are, too — you can choose your dosage and your pack size, or try one of their variety packs if you’re just starting out.

4. Ghia
Best For | Chic NA cocktails
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 2–8g
Functional ingredients | Lemon balm, ginger, rosemary
Price | $38 per 17-serving bottle, $2.24 per serving; bundles available
Ghia has been a favorite of our editors for a while now, and for good reason — both their flavors and their branding is absolutely impeccable. Don’t miss out on a cute bar cart just because you aren’t drinking! While I got to review their seltzer last year, I finally got to try their aperitif this time around, along with the rest of their seltzer flavors. And nothing disappointed. Their aperitif, mixed with soda, is juicy, citrusy, and herbal but subtly bitter, with a complexity that makes it super satisfying. You can choose your own adventure in terms of strength with the big bottle, too, which contains approximately 17 servings. Their Ghia Soda and Ghia Ginger are also favorites in my household! We love Ghia for the elevated experience it brings, inspired by the Mediterranean tradition of aperitivo — the traditional pre-meal drink intended to whet your appetite and prepare your stomach.

5. Kin Euphorics
Best For | High-vibe cocktail replacements
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 3–7g
Functional ingredients | Schisandra, damiana, L-theanine, caffeine, turmeric
Price | $39 per 8-can pack, $4.89 per serving; subscriptions available
Kin Euphoric’s vibey packaging is enough to set a laid-back mood all on its own, but that’s what the drink inside is designed to do, too. The brand focuses on the feeling their drinks give you, with options like Lightwave (a “portal to peace”), Actual Sunshine (an “immunity and beauty booster”), and Kin Bloom (for “heart-opening joy”). The flavor is still great, though — the latter was a little carbonated with a refreshing, lightly sweet herbal taste with a subtle white grape juice flavor, too, that made it reminiscent of wine. The caffeine-free blend has adaptogens like L-theanine and ashwagandha, while some of their other blends are “lightly caffeinated” (50 milligrams or less). They each have their own blend of different adaptogens and nootropics like reishi or tryptophan so you can perfectly curate your vibe — which is why we highly suggest one of their variety packs. They make two non-alcoholic aperitif blends, too, designed for mixing.

6. hiyo
Best For | Health conscious
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 3–5g
Functional ingredients | L-theanine, lion’s mane, ashwagandha, lemon balm
Price | $45 for a 12-can pack, $3.75 per serving; subscriptions available
The founders of hiyo wanted to make an alternative to alcohol that was as delicious as it was healthy. Enter their mindful social tonics. The seltzers come in 12-ounce cans and are full of organic adaptogens to counteract the effects of stress on the body and nootropics to support healthy brain functions, along with real fruit juice. They have a smooth, fruity taste that’s surprisingly sweet (but not too sweet) for a drink that only has three grams of added sugar. I loved their strawberry guava flavor, a juicy, fruity, summery treat that’s perfect for the beach, but you can also pick up a variety pack that includes other flavors like peach mango and blackberry lemon. And the drinks are more than just tasty — all their seltzers are designed to give you “the float,” a mood-boosting sensation owing to their L-theanine, lion’s mane, ashwagandha, and other botanicals.

7. Three Spirit
Best For | Booze-free spirits
ABV | Less than 0.5%
Sugar | 2–8.75g
Functional ingredients | Lion’s mane, lemon balm, valerian root, caffeine
Price | $39 per bottle, $3.90 per serving; subscriptions available
Three Spirit makes three functional booze-free spirits alternatives — Livener, Social, and Nightcap — all of which are curated by plant scientists, bartenders, artists, and herbalists.They make a couple of wine alternatives, too, full of both flavor and adaptogens. Adaptogens are the star of the show with their spirits alternatives, too, with different blends that put you in whatever mood you’re looking for. I liked Social as a full-bodied, bittersweet liquor alternative. Blended with soda it had a rich, herbal, molasses-y, almost savory flavor, which comes from its cacao, lion’s mane, and damiana. This one would be excellent with ginger ale or beer for a dark ‘n’ stormy vibe, and it has tons of B vitamins, too, so you can feel great about drinking it. Blended and bottled in the UK, you can also find Three Spirit in the US online or at select stockists.

8. Ritual Zero Proof
Best For | Tastes like booze
ABV | 0%
Sugar | Less than 2g
Functional ingredients | Authentic liquor replacement
Price | $33 per bottle, $1.94 per serving; subscriptions available
When you want all the smells and tastes of the traditional cocktail minus the alcohol, Ritual’s got you covered — this one really tasted like booze! Crafted by discerning friends and foodies looking to expand their options on the cocktail horizons, Ritual is a one-to-one liquor alternative to bar cart staples that delivers. If you’re craving an Old Fashioned, the brand knows you’re looking for a rich, subtle blend of sweet spice with a touch of bitterness, and their whiskey alternative doesn’t disappoint. I especially loved their aperitif alternative, which was so satisfyingly strong that I had to add more soda water, and they also made a gin alternative that’s botanical and refreshing (hello, summertime G+Ts!) plus a tequila and a rum. All their drinks are low in sugar, for a flavor that satisfies a cocktail craving without any regrets tomorrow.

9. Seedlip
Best For | Smooth spirit alternatives
ABV | Less than 0.05%
Sugar | 0g
Functional ingredients | Damiana, ginger, lemongrass, rosemary
Price | $32 per bottle, $2.46 per serving
Seedlip was born after founder Ben Branson was given a “sickly sweet pink mocktail” at a restaurant one night. Inspired to create an alternative, and combining his love of nature with his family’s farming background, Branson founded Seedlip to deliver distilled spirits sans artificial flavors. I tried out their Notas de Agave flavor, a tequila alternative that, while it doesn’t really taste too much like tequila, has that same refreshing, summery, zingy taste. It has notes of prickly pear, damiana, and peppercorn that made it subtly sweet and pleasantly smooth to drink on its own — but it was even better once I added lime. I love how this one didn’t try to imitate booze, but rather became its own thing. The brand has a few other enticing botanical flavors, too, like Spice 94 and Garden, with notes of allspice and pea, respectively. These elixirs are sugar- and calorie-free, too.

10. Athletic Brewing Co.
Best For | NA beer
ABV | less than 0.5%
Sugar | Cane sugar is used only in the radlers
Price | $14 for a 6-pack, $2.33 per serving; subscriptions available
Athletic Brewing is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to non-alcoholic beer, making brews that deliver on flavor and are targeted towards active people who love beer as much as they love fitness. Their most popular brew, their Run Wild IPA, has an approachable bitterness and a malty body typical of a West Coast IPA, and it’s racked up an impressive 20+ awards, like the best non-alcoholic beer in the US at the World Beer Awards. For a more juicy New England style, check out Free Wave. The B-corp makes plenty of other brew styles, too, like a smooth, sessionable Mexican-style copper and a lemon radler that’s perfect for warm weather — search their site by style, flavor profile, or season to browse their extensive catalog of faithful brews. All the flavors I tried were crushable beer alternatives that scratch that beer itch, making them great for cutting out or cutting down on alcohol consumption or drinking during the day. We also love that the brand gives up to $2 million each year towards trail and park cleanups, maintenance projects, construction, and access. Read our full Athletic Brewing review here.

11. Wooden Spoon Herbs
Best For | Tinctures
ABV | 0%
Sugar | Ingredients include stevia, monkfruit, and honey for sweeteners
Functional ingredients | Skullcap, California poppy, feverfew
Price | $29 per bottle, $.74 per serving; subscriptions available
Wooden Spoon Herbs was founded in an effort to make nature-based medicinal approaches to our everyday stresses easy, approachable, and pleasurable. With a background in studying herbalism at the Appalachian Center for Natural Health, founder Lauren Haynes takes her knowledge of cellular biology, folk healing, and phytochemistry to these organic tinctures, elixirs, and blends, each designed to target a specific and common concern. Make this Booze-Free Heavenly Herbaceous Mocktail using the brand’s Rose Colored Glasses tincture for a tasty beverage that supports mental clarity, cognitive function, and overall immune health. I also tried out the Head Helper tincture, which was pleasantly herbal, like cut grass, and has adaptogens like skullcap, California poppy, and feverfew for stress relief. It worked just as well on its own as it did blended with soda water, and it’d be fantastic in an herbaceous mocktail, too.

12. Rock Grace
Best For | NA wine
ABV | Less than 5%
Sugar | 0g
Functional ingredients | Eleuthero, dandelion extract, lemon balm extract, rhodiola
Price | $22 for a bottle, $5.50 per serving; bundles available
If you’re looking for a wine or champagne alternative, try the rosé-resembling Rock Grace. The woman-owned brand makes three different blends — original, ruby, and sparkling — each of which is infused with adaptogens and its own delicate, floral flavor that doesn’t try to imitate wine. I liked their “ruby” blend, which has a botanical, slightly fruity flavor with notes of raspberry and vanilla, along with adaptogens like eleuthero, dandelion extract, lemon balm extract. It’s even made on the day of the Full Flower Moon and is infused with ruby, known for promoting passion, pleasure, and self-love. The brand’s original blend has a similarly mild flavor, making it great for winding down in the evening sans alcohol, with adaptogens like rhodiola and schisandra berry. All their beverages are sugar-free, calorie-free, and are best enjoyed chilled. For more, check out our full review of non-alcoholic wine alternatives here.

13. Little Saints
Best For | Plant medicine
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 0g
Functional ingredients | Lion’s mane, Reishi, CBD
Price | $50 per bottle, $3.85 per serving; subscriptions available
Founded by a former hydroponic farmer, Little Saints has an approach that combines food science and sacred plant medicines. The brand has reinterpreted classic faves like the negroni or mimosa into sugar-free, canned, non-alcoholic sparkling mocktails. They also make St. Ember, what they call a “plant magic” spirit, designed to lift you up without the negative effects of alcohol. I combined St. Ember with a little soda for a complex mocktail that was smokey and woody from its ginger, cardamom, and palo santo extract. It tasted a bit like a crystal shop smells, but it’s not all about the flavor — it also has 100 mg of lion’s mane per serving, designed to ignite cognition and put you in a better mood. Little Saints’ non-alcoholic seltzers boast brain benefits, too, with adaptogens like reishi and botanical terpenes.

14. Avec
Best For | Low or no sugar mixers
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 0–6g
Functional ingredients | Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, hibiscus, pomegranate
Price | $36 for a 12-pack of 8.45 oz. cans
If your drink of choice tends to be anything bright and citrusy, something that goes well with gin or even tequila, you might love Avec. Zippy, all-natural flavors like yuzu and ginger are the perfect happy hour treats, whether you’re mixing in booze or not. My favorite was the jalapeño and blood orange: The spicy flavor really hits the spot when you want a cocktail without the consequences. I love this one shaken with a lot of crushed ice, fresh limes, and a himalayan pink salt rim. If I wanted it to be a little more marg-like I’d top it with some non-alcoholic elderflower cordial or simple syrup. Which is an important note: Avec is not heavy in flavor like a soda or most mixers — at around 20 calories a pop and 80-90% less sugar than their traditional counterparts, this non-alcoholic drink can be enjoyed with your favorite spirit or alone on the rocks. Black-founded and a member of 1% for the Planet, this is the perfect mixer to keep on hand for any mood you’re in.

15. VYBES
Best For | CBD elixirs
ABV | 0%
Sugar | 4–12g
Functional ingredients | L-threonate, guayusa, caffeine, lab-tested adaptogens, CBD, magnesium
Price | $42 per 6-bottle pack, $7 per serving; subscriptions available
Packaged in 14-ounce glass bottles, Vybes CBD drinks are refreshingly fruity and just sweet enough to taste like summer in a bottle — especially their strawberry lavender flavor, which remains their best seller since it launched in 2018. The drinks feel more like a replacement for an afternoon iced coffee or tea than for booze, aiming to help you reduce stress with CBD and magnesium. Designed to help calm your mind without making you feel sleepy, they’re a perfect afternoon pick-me-up on stressful days — or any day, really. I was also super impressed by their nutrition facts. Each bottle only has 20 calories and four grams of sugar — they use stevia, too, but it’s disguised impressively well (I say that as someone who doesn’t like the taste of stevia!). Their other flavors are equally mouthwatering, like blueberry mint and peach ginger, and they make an energy drink with magnesium L-threonate, guayusa, and caffeine for a jitter-free afternoon boost.
