Whatever you fancy, the world of zero-alc is no longer the anti-glamorous tonic waters and orange juices that it used to be. With alternative wines, beers and spirits – you no longer have to sacrifice the feeling and taste of your favourite tipples in the name of ditching the drink.

If you’re new to the sober world, or just looking for your next go-to order, then read below for a selection non-alcoholic drinks that you should be adding to your cart this Ocsober:

NON 

1. NON 

For your upcoming barbecues and garden parties this summer, there is no better beverage to serve up to a guest than an aesthetically-pleasing bottle of NON’s finest. 

NON1 is a perfectly blended curation of salted raspberry and chamomile – a balance of sweet and salty, to ignite the tastebuds. Not only is this zero-alcohol wine alternative a pleasure to drink, but these beautiful drinks add a sense of elegance to every sober occasion. 

Once you’ve tried NON1, why not try your hands at the others in the collection? NON3 is a bright and tart drop of cinnamon and yuzu, while the very popular NON7 adds a hint of dark mystery with its flavour of fruit and spice – stewed cherry and coffee.  

Their unique flavour profiles stray away from mimicking traditional wine, but instead offer new and interesting tastes that will have you questioning why you ever reached for a Sauvignon Blanc….

2. Heaps Normal

More of a beer-fan yourself? Or just looking for an ice-cold bevvie to pair alongside your next pizza and footy night? Heaps Normal’s collection of full-flavoured, non-alcoholic XPA and Lagers replicate the taste of real beer – so you can dial up the good times and perform at your best the next day. Choose from a selection of delicious, refreshing cans and participate in normal-ising going dry this October. 

3. Seedlip

For your next mocktail, Seedlip non-alcoholic spirits produce high-quality blends of fruits and botanicals to create a classy tipple, without the nasties. Choose from three different bottles, the Seedlip Spice 94 (Allspice berries & Cardamom), Grove 42 (Mediterranean Orange, Ginger, Lemongrass & Lemon peel.) or Garden 108 (Peas & Hay with traditional garden herb), to mix your next fruity drink or simply serve with tonic water and garnish!

 Sobah non alcoholic

4. Sobah

Looking to give another non-alc brew a go? Sobah is breaking down the social stigma of going sober. Not only are these craft beers unique and delicious in flavour – with ethically sourced ingredients used to create blends like Lemon Aspen and Finger Lime – by trying out a Sobah sip, you’re also supporting a First Nations’ owned business dedicated to promoting Indigenous culture, arts, language and history. Plus, you’ll want to keep these good-looking cans on display year-round! 

5. Yes You Can Alcohol Free Spritz

Working with world-class mixologists to create a selection of zero-alc beverages that you’ll just want to keep sipping, Yes You Can ‘takes the piss out of alcohol’. These cocktails in a can feature a G&T Flavour, an orangey Spritz, a gingery Dark & Stormy, and a tart Yuzu Sake. The perfect accomplice of an afternoon in the backyard this Spring.

The list of non-alcoholic options is endless, thanks to a recent surge in the Australian sober market. People are now shying away from the nasties in regular alcohol (including the dreaded hangovers) and instead opting for a taste of class. Be sure to try out these alternative tipples this Ocsober, and experience the dry life for yourself (even just for a night)!
