As more people give up drinking, brands are releasing zero-proof alternatives. Here are six to try.

Dry January may be over, but the buzz around nonalcoholic beverages is only growing.

As drinking in this country has been on a steady decline since 2010, products geared toward nondrinkers have grown more available. When Seedlip, the first distilled nonalcoholic product, hit the shelves in 2015, it had no competition — now, brands number in the dozens, with more launches every year.

In October, analysts at Nielsen reported that sales of nonalcoholic beverages grew 33.2% between 2020 and 2021, totaling $331 million in sales.

Meanwhile, books like 2018′s Sober Curious by Ruby Warrington, and Good Drinks by Julia Bainbridge (a collection of sophisticated nonalcoholic cocktail recipes from the country’s top bartenders), have helped make nondrinking more accessible and socially accepted. “I like to eat delicious things,” Bainbridge writes in the introduction to her book. “I like to drink delicious things, and I like to do both with the people I love. There are many others like me, and the reasons they don’t drink booze vary: religion, health issues, substance use disorders, pregnancy, mindful living … These drinks deserve a party.”

Hospitality professionals are also taking note, offering nonalcoholic options year-round. As reported by The Inquirer, bars and restaurants are noticing the uptick in diners abstaining or taking a break from alcohol. These new drinks present both a business opportunity and a chance to deliver a well-rounded dining experience.

At home, people are increasingly replacing their booze with nonalcoholic wines, beers, and spirits. The proliferation of these products has been swift, with brick-and-mortar stores popping up in Los Angeles and New York, while existing shops like Philadelphia’s Herman’s Coffee and Yowie stock products for the sober curious. Meanwhile, online retailers like No & Low and The Zero Proof can send nonalc bottles anywhere in the U.S. — and don’t have to deal with inconvenient state-by-state alcohol shipping restrictions.

The new batch of zero-proof drinks go beyond sweet “mocktail”-esque concoctions. Crafted from herbs, fruit extracts, and other botanic essences, these products have all the depth, attention, and sophistication of traditional beer, wine, and spirits, and deserve a place on your bar cart. Here are a handful to try.
