It’s official, nonalcoholic cocktails (Mocktails) are not a trend, they’re here to stay and we should all be breathing a sigh of relief. Whether or not you drink spirits, there’s a limit to how much alcohol you can consume but that shouldn’t stop us from enjoying great drinks. If you haven’t already, working n/a cocktails into your rotation is a great way to give your liver a rest. I always try to take an extended time away from imbibing throughout the year and If you’re fond of cocktails it’s really important to find balance for the sake of your physical health, mental health and just overall well-being.
So Today on the show we’re going into the world of non-alcoholic spirit alternatives. I’m happy to report that Long gone are the days of going to the bar and having to suffer through drinking soft drinks or soda water all night while Brian from accounting is slamming mojitos. Thanks to a few enterprising companies, it is possible to put together a full bar of N/A Spirits that taste good, very near their alcoholic counterparts and most importantly make great cocktails easily at home.

Thanks for this. I spent many years ordering a tonic water w/ a lime wedge so it would fool people into thinking I was drinking - thus avoiding the peer pressure of drinking. I've been asked recently to make NA drinks and I'm slowly building up a little arsenal of drinks that are flavorful and give the appearance of being "real" cocktails so that nobody feels left out
Would you wanna share a couple of them? I'm also stocking up on NA cocktails!
@Gigabajts the simplest one I know is tonic water with a few dashes of Angostura bitters if you are ok with the bitters. The best book I've found is called Mocktails made me do it. (It's part of a series) Not all work but a bunch are pretty good. I'm absolutely no expert and NA cocktails are really a challenge. It's hard to mix one that you don't just
Glug them down. A local bar makes some very good zero abv drinks but a lot of work goes into them. A lot of reliance on strong flavors like capsaicin, ginger or sharp citrus. Much more work than a daiquiri.
@@Gigabajts sorry, just saw this. I’ll post a couple of my favorites tomorrow
Share your arsenal!!! I have a small night time cafe and I can’t serve alcohol due to my morals/religion but would love to serve some new non alcoholic drinks!
Life saving video. Literally. There are so many people that come into my bar nowadays wanting mocktails, and as a bartender you always feel like you're short changing them by basically giving them dressed-up juice and sugar. Even the name sounds like a gimmick. I'm definitely going to push for more respectful and thought-out drinks because I have so much respect for anyone going to a bar and being confident enough not to need a social lubricant.
I think there's definitely a lot of good reasons for mocktails, but much like with alcohol, not everyone is going to have the same reason for enjoying them. Could be meant as a coping mechanism for someone trying to drink less, could be a more sophisticated way to enjoy a drink with cocktail friends, it could just simply be a new way to explore flavors for the discerning sober drinker. As a frequent craft tiki partaker, I personally like to weave in a n/a beverage here and there to help keep the buzz in check. But sometimes, I'd just rather have one for the taste alone.
One of my best friends recently stopped drinking. I used to mix and have a drink with him and a couple of friends almost every week-end, so I recently started to dive into mocktails just to keep having this sharing moment with friends. Really appreciate the video!
Soda water, lime juice, ango. That’s my drink when I’m not wanting booze. The Ango and lime adds a great flavor touch to basic seltzer. Also a great hangover drink btw
Love that you'll be doing more non-alcohol cocktails! Would also be very interested in drinks that are NA, but don't necessarily need specific NA spirits :)
Awesome, I'm glad you're diving into this! Have recently found myself digging deeper into the N/A world as well, and while there is a new set of challenges (how to make something that stands out in flavor and experience without the qualities of alcohol that people are used to), there are some really delightful things that can be created. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this! Please make more of these videos!❤ love the presentation and enthusiasm
Appreciate the mindset behind this video and the inclusion of it. Very glad to see some more NA and NOLA content!
I would say that folks should be careful with NA spirits as lots of them are very sugary and have some quite strong stabilisers or additives and preservatives, so it’s well worth doing your homework on what’s right for you, particularly if you are being health conscious.
Actually a good number of N/A spirits have zero sugar, zero calories. They do have other non-caloric sweeteners in some cases, so that's something to be aware of certainly. But I would say the sugar in most mixers - for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks alike - is at least as much of a concern for anyone who is sensitive to that. And of course alcohol is highly caloric too (although it's true that it doesn't convert into sugar as is commonly believed).
Love that you're incorporating this new wave! Would love to see a head-to-head taste testing of different brands of one spirit substitute.
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for offering these non-alcoholic options for those who want and need them. Your presentation style is really good.
I'm excited about where this is heading!
This is cool, I have many friends who don’t drink alcohol for religious reasons. It’s nice to learn ways to be more inclusive!
I need this so much! I've been trying to drink less and am having trouble finding satisfying alternatives. As many of these as you want to make, please!!! And arequest for reviews of spirit alternatives.
Great video, thank you!
Also great execution on the opening of a Champagne bottle, I'm from the Champagne region and this was perfect haha
Was waiting for a video like this. Also I have the book Good Drinks by Julia Bainbridge, need to try them one day.
Been looking for this in my bartending channels I follow, thank you! I have many friends looking for nuanced non-alcoholic drinks when I am acting as a hobbyist bartender and have been annoyed with poor quality imitations and/or the over whelming flood of soda water and syrup. I especially appreciate you showcasing different brands and styles of drinks (even if cinnamon is not what I’m personally looking for in my pseudo old-fashion it might be for my friends, and I would drink the other two happily) as well as the commitment to education even down to shelf stability dependent on make.
The other thing is to use seedlip (or similar) in a cocktail just as a low abv drink, i made an aviation this way recently and it was delicious.
Beside small amounts of capsaicin to imitate the ethanol "burn" you can add mint-menthol and/or eucalyptus drops for a "spirit" effect.
I didn’t know that I needed to have non alcoholic drinks in my repertoire, but good thing I’m subscribed to this channel, I get great recipes and ideas from my favourite bartender on TH-cam. Great stuff and Cheers
I love cocktails and my home bar is quite extensive.
I've been drunk only once (not something I ever care to repeat) and I never drink for the 'buzz' I din't really know what it is... so the point for me is very much like cooking, new recipes, flavours, tastes, trying new things as well as going back to old favourites.
I'm happy to try any non alcoholic alternatives, because why not? I see some similarities with the new boom in alternative meats, if someone is vegetarian or someone doesn't want to drink alcohol, why not create recipes for them to recreate familiar favourites as well as new recipes for all our tastebuds.
This makes me very happy because i love to mix drinks but I don’t drink so maybe now I can drink along with everyone else I make a drink for!
Instead of that obscure liquor you could easily use Sanbitter for your No - groni. It's a widely available non alcoholic Campari substitute and tastes quite good. If you like it extra intense use equal parts Sanbitter and Chinotto, but this is going to affect the colour since Chinotto is pretty much black.
Really cool! If any one wants to read a articulate "point" of why, read the preface of Zero...really good
Hi Leandro, great video. I would like to see a low ABV cocktail where you cut a spirit like bourbon with the No ABV bourbon and see what it is like. Maybe a classic Manhattan 1 oz bourbon, 1 oz no ABV bourbon and 1 oz regular vermouth? Does it taste good but it lightens the total ABV.
I need to try these. I like drinking alcohol- the flavours and how they mesh with a mood, but I don’t actually like getting past a very light buzz.
I like to use strong tasting ingredients for my mocktails like Tonic Water, Non-Alcoholic Bitters, Ginger (for the bite), fresh herbs etc. Bubbly drinks usually works best, you won't be able to create a satisfying replacement for drinks like old fashioned etc.
I have a partner who doesn't drink and I'm always trying to find things to make for her to feel included. For me, making cocktails has always been about the process and the flavors and only like the feeling of a mild buzz. As I get older I find drinking more complex but still love making cocktails. I'm glad there's a NA and low abv movement out there. I think it's important because it gives people more options which is always better
Would like to know what your process is when using coffee in cocktails to cool it? I’m always wondering should I just leave it to cool, put it in the fridge or freezer. Is there a better way that I’m not even thinking of. I don’t want to dilute it prior to mixing my drinks. Just wondering best method to get the best flavours etc.
Hey do you think you'll ever do a bar crawl blog abroad?
Thanks for sharing the expiry dates, I tried the Lyres rum one. Was okay, was more like honey rather than rum... But the three months shelf life was a bit rough for the price 😅
I'm loving the low/no alcohol content that is out and about at the moment. In regards to people questioning why... I love the complexity of cocktails. The flavour/texture/temperature/colour.
A lot of non/low alcohol drinks are one dimensional, boring and usually, full of sugar. If I just wanted alcohol, I wouldn't bother collecting multiple different bottles of booze 😂
I'm going to give you my secret: prepared wasabi, or even horse raddish. It's *amazing*. Not alcohol, but gives you that reason to sip in the same way that the pepper does, but in a better way. Really quick very low alcohol cocktail that I'm drinking right now (called "A horse named John"): 1 oz cold herb tea, 1/2 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz pommegranite shrub, 1/2 oz simple syrup, 1-2 dashes bitters (I'm using Chartreuse elixir vegetal), 1/2 barspoon prepared wasabi. Shake, strain and top with 1/2 oz tonic. Express citrus and garnish (I happen to have a bergamot today for some strange reason and It's amazing). An variant is to use kombucha and straight pommegranite juice in place of the tea and shrub.

Me going to grab my Saber....What no?
I've tried different non alcoholic drinks, but usually they are missing something. I'd be really interested in coming up with very low ABV cocktails that are not limited ingredient wise. Not "spritz" level, maybe lower than that, but actual booze not off the table. Like the no-fashioned, but with 1/2 an ounce of actual whisky added (or split with the Kentucky 74).
I've done that with a gimlet. Sub out half an ounce of the Seedlip (the garden one) for gin. Makes a huge difference and a nice drink. Saves money too since Beefeater is cheaper than Seedlip. :-)
Not sure if anyone sees this, but I found these liqueurs recently that were stashed away.
They’re called “La Grenade Liqueur” and “Drambuie”.
Any idea what these are?
Also any cocktails that they might be good in?
Drambuie is a sweet, herbal liqueur made from scotch. Very baking spice forward. The most popular cocktail made with it is a Rusty Nail. I like to follow the recipe of 2oz scotch, ½oz drambuie, 2 dashes orange bitters and an orange twist
Thank you for some info on these! Been looking to pick some up so I can make stuff for rest of family. I wouldn't nitpick most channels, but check out your sbagliato pronunciation. 🙃 Gli structure is similar to sound in "miLLIon", comes out passably close to sbalyato. Holding you to the highest standards sir! 😆 Thanks again, I think these were great drink choices and even better to bring multiple brands/approaches into play.
They are very expensive I don’t know why, they don’t have taxes as the real spirits have.
Just a thought but I would put the horseradish burn closer to an ethanol burn over capsaicin. Don't know if you could do that without adding the flavor but just my two cents. If you become a billionaire off that idea, just throw me a percent or so
Great idea for a series of episodes-broadening the space into the continuum it should be would be great. From zero alcohol to "low ABV" ideally. A Negroni is typically rated as "1.5 standard drinks" and the NoGroni Sbagliato you did is 0 std drinks. If the sparkling nonalcoholic was made Prosecco, it would be ~.4 standard drinks. Maybe keep all the ingredients 0 alcohol except the actual Campari, and it becomes ~0.5 drinks.
Making a matrix of what works would be extremely cool.
Assuming your really good question about "What's the point?" has at least some benefit of the effects of alcohol (at times, anyway), the ability to titrate that would be nice. I'd love to be able to drink "crushable" sours that had even half the booze in them if they still tasted great.
If you could come up with a way for people to control the booze intake- _not zero_, but within what we can metabolize while still drinking-that would be a nice cocktail book to have around.
Funny that you point out missing the ethanol burn. For whatever reason, the burn is one reason I don’t drink many spirits - I find it actually painful.
I’m housesitting for friends who have a bottle of Seedlip Grove 42 in their fridge. I’ll have to see what I can make with it!
ETA: Much credit to re: your pointed questioning of why we drink. I’m an old fart now, but even when I was younger, I never drank “to get drunk.”
Did I get drunk sometimes? Sure, but it was very, very rare that I ever let myself get past slightly tipsy. I’m a lightweight (I get that from my mom), so me having just 1 or 2 drinks during a night out was common. (Yep, #cheapDate 🤓)
My now adult daughter & I recently had a conversation about how she doesn’t remember ever seeing me drunk. (I can remember once, after we’d been out late - possibly NYE or our anniversary. There may have been a time or two besides that one, but that’s about it.)
It’s kinda funny - many of my college friends have (wisely) recently stopped drinking. Now that my kids are grown, I’m starting to explore the concept of having a cocktail before dinner a couple of times a week.
To each their own - be good to yourselves, folks!
I’m not a huge fan of non alcoholic spirits but it’s only because I’m such a boozer.
I love the NO names for the cocktails

Hell ye
Watching your video made me want a negroni and I only have alcohol, looks like alcohol it is!
My most liked drink is Long Island Ice Tea, try that with non-alc spirits. 😂
Plain iced tea, perhaps?
Just so I understand..... How can a spirit be non alcoholic ???
I am pretty sure he said "Mouth feel" about 42 times
I would love to drink these options but I will never be willing to pay more than 50% of the classic for the non-alcoholic. Never.
There is no alcohol tax on these products. I’m not going to pay over $12-15/liter for it. Just drink less of the real product
Towns for the Levites, 43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it. 44 The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand., in Jesus name. Amen
My wife says your hair needs something and it is bugging her. I guess it needs some product and some life added to it 😂
Gonna play the Devil's Advocate here. Alcohol free spirits are an admission of defeat. Like people who eat fake meat really wish they would be eating the real thing, which is always going to be better, they just don't like how it's made or what's in it. Why else would they be making an imitation instead of eating something else? Because it's that good. The alcohol burn and getting tipsy are an essential part of spirits, also the unique flavors you get from making spirits. Why play pretend, just learn to enjoy the real thing. Drop the proud act.
(Shirley Temple's are good though, but they don't have imitation alcohol either.)
you are comparing two very different things (alcohol and food). alcohol is really bad for you. it makes complete sense that some wouldnt want to drink it. especially considering the fact that some people have liver or kidney problems, or other health issues, and LITERALLY CANT DRINK. it really says a lot about you that you see a video about nonalcoholic drinks and immediately feel the need to shit on people who drink them - it betrays your insecurity.
I get what you’re saying. I like a good quality drink over a lot of drinks myself so reducing my alcohol consumption isn’t an issue. I can control it myself. I can see situations where they would be good though for someone with health problems who enjoys a drink but can’t risk the alcohol or as an option when pregnant or breastfeeding or maybe even religious reasons.
Here in Australia I have seen there is a lot of options for alcohol free drinks but the prices are too high. Especially given we aren’t paying the extremely high alcohol taxes on them that we have to on alcoholic drinks here. I might consider buying a non-alcoholic cocktail out at a bar if I wasn’t drinking but wouldn’t buy a bottle of non-alcoholic whiskey for example to have at home. They cost way too much. On the other hand my father enjoys a few beers and has found he likes the ‘Great Northern Brewing Co. Zero’ as a non alcoholic beer option. He still drinks their alcoholic beer too but when he wants a beer but can’t have or doesn’t feel like the alcohol that’s what he drinks. Not sure if you can get it outside Australia but if you’re a beer drinker it might be a good alternative. I personally don’t drink beer so I can’t comment. I’m a spirits or red wine drinker.
Are you saying that someone with celiac is "admitting defeat" when they opt for a gluten free bread? 🤨 Weird line of reasoning.
There are a lot of reasons for someone to not want to drink ranging from severe health repercussions to just not wanting to do so in that particular moment.
Where I'm with you *slightly* is that most products trying to emulate liquor too closely tend up falling way short of their goal. My favorite products have often been some that are in their own category: Ghia, HopTea, and Acid League's Proxies come to mind, to name a few.
Little bitter sodas (Sanbitter, etc.) are popular in Italy and can sometimes be bought online, and St. Agrestis out of NY makes the incredible Phony Negroni and Amaro Falso. Some lighter drinks might include bitter (Hella, Bitter Housewife) or botanical sodas (Casamara Club). Those all make for satisfying drinking without feeling "pretend."
(Also shout out to Martini & Rossi for their new dealcoholized vermouths and Giffard for their Aperitif Syrup, which actually do come close to their alcoholic counterparts.)
@@lxxwj Too much alcohol is bad for you, very little amounts have been proven to have health benefits actually. Too much food is bad for you too, as are many excesses. I could say eating vegetables is good for you and have someone get mad at me because they are allergic or get health issues eating vegetables. People with health issues are beside my point, I wasn't arguing that at all, so you didn't really address my original point at all. The way you feel the need to raise your voice to me only betrays that you are the insecure one here.
