If you love the taste and experience of cocktails, but not the alcohol, you're not alone. More and more people are choosing to drink less or abstain from alcohol altogether, for various reasons such as health, wellness, religion, or personal preference. But that doesn't mean they have to miss out on the fun and flavor of cocktails. Thanks to the rapidly growing non-alcoholic beverage industry, there are now plenty of options for non-alcoholic and alcohol-free, ready-made cocktails, also known as cocktails-on-the-go. In fact, non-alcoholic cocktails in a can are a growing market, with a variety of brands and flavors for every occasion.
More Than Drinks Without Hangovers: What Are Non-alcoholic Cocktails?
Non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as mocktails, are beverages that contain little (usually less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume)) or no alcohol. They are often made with natural ingredients, such as fruits, herbs, spices, botanicals, and extracts, to mimic the taste and aroma of alcoholic drinks. Some of them are also called functionals and infused with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, or CBD, as they offer functional benefits such as enhancing the mood and well-being of the drinker. They are considered a great alternative to traditional cocktails as they offer a range of benefits. For one, they are perfect for people who want to enjoy the taste of a cocktail without the negative effects of alcohol - a popular choice for those who are driving, pregnant, or simply don't want to consume alcohol.
Non-alcoholic cocktails have come a long way from the once-limited selection of sparkling water or juice-based drinks of the past. Nowadays, many bars and restaurants offer a wide variety of mocktails that are just as creative and flavorful as traditional cocktails. Non-alcoholic cocktails are also a great way to socialize without drinking alcohol and provide an alternative for those who still want to join in the fun without feeling left out. Zero-alcohol drinks are also a great option for those who are recovering from alcohol addiction or those who simply want to cut back on their alcohol consumption. Overall, non-alcoholic cocktails offer a range of benefits and are a great option for those looking for a healthier, more inclusive, and enjoyable drinking experience.

Ready-made non-alcoholic cocktails are now available as convenient options. These are beverages that come pre-mixed and packaged in cans or bottles, containing zero-proof spirits or other alcohol-free ingredients, mixed with juices, sodas, or similar mixers. They offer variety and ease of consumption to those who want to enjoy a cocktail without the hassle of making it themselves or buying multiple ingredients. These cocktails are inspired by classic or popular cocktails, such as margaritas, mojitos, spritzes, mules, and more, but without the alcohol.
These cocktails are refreshing and delicious and can be served chilled, over ice, or in a fancy glass with a garnish. Often available in a can, if you're on the go, you can drink them right from the source.
