Here are the best non-alcoholic drinks from The Thinking Drinkers – Ben McFarland and Tom Sandham.
BEER
Guinness
If you’ve decided to avoid alcohol, Guinness 0.0 (Tesco, £5.45, 4x440ml) will be a great choice. While it lacks some texture, the taste is almost the same as the original, and in a glass, this drink looks exactly like real beer.
Sainsburys
If you don’t want to miss out on a delicious craft drink, try Brooklyn Special Effect (Sainsbury’s, £4.50, 4x330ml). This beer has a vibrant grapefruit aroma and hoppy notes, containing only 0.4% alcohol due to a special fermentation process.
Ocado
Don't overlook Run Wild IPA from Athletic Brewing (Waitrose, £5.10, 4x330ml). This drink has a rich flavor thanks to five different varieties of hops, providing the full taste of IPA without alcohol.
Lucky Saint's Lemon Lager is fresh, citrusy, and refreshing, only 80 caloriesLucky SaintAnother good option is Lucky Saint’s Lemon Lager (Sainsbury’s, £6, 4x330ml), which tastes like adult soda. This drink is fresh, with citrus notes, and has only 80 calories.
SPIRITS
Sylva and Grove 42 from Seedlip offer vibrant, complex non-alcoholic alternatives to traditional spirits
If you are looking for an alternative for spirits and cocktails, then non-alcoholic gins are the right answer. Seedlip has pioneered this field, offering new products like the luxurious Sylva, which makes cocktail mixing more interesting.
Grove 42, a bright drink with citrus notes (Threshers, £15.99, 70cl), pairs wonderfully with ginger ale.
Asda
If you miss your gin and tonic, try Tanqueray Sevilla 0.0 (Asda, £13.98, 70cl). This drink has distinct orange notes that are beautifully felt when mixed with tonic.
The Pathfinder is a herbal, spicy, and fruity alternative drink to Jagermeister for those who don't consume alcohol
Fans of Jagermeister should try The Pathfinder (£29.75, 70cl, thewhiskyexchange.com) – a herbal drink containing cannabis, with herbal, spicy, and fruity notes.
Botivo is a tasty, non-alcoholic British herbal aperitif that makes an impression with soda or apple cider on ice
If you prefer something original, try Botivo (Amazon, £27.50, 500ml). This British herbal aperitif looks great in mixes with soda or with apple cider on ice.
WINES
Kylie Minogue
Non-alcoholic sparkling wines are becoming increasingly popular, and Kylie Minogue's rosé (Asda, £4.98) is an excellent option for parties.
With a rich strawberry flavor, made from premium European grapes and Chinese green tea, this non-alcoholic wine has only 22 calories per 100 ml – 80 calories less than a standard glass of Prosecco.
Ocado
For sparkling white wine, we recommend Wild Idol (Ocado, £25). Although it costs more, it combines floral and sweet fruit notes, with a bright finish, making it taste very close to real wine.
Ocado
For coffee lovers, Codorniu Zero Sparkling Alcohol Free Wine (Ocado, £5) is a reliable option made from airen grapes. It has all the acidity and dryness necessary for the perfect pairing with snacks.
Wine heroes, Schloss Wachenheim, present their Eisberg Selection Pinot Grigio as a bright non-alcoholic option
Schloss Wachenheim is known for its expertise in winemaking, including non-alcoholic versions. If you don't need bubbles, try their Eisberg Selection Pinot Grigio (Majestic, £8). This light Pinot Grigio offers fresh notes of lychee and gooseberry.
