“Note for the upcoming holiday season, some of us are on a sobriety journey and mocktails or non-alcoholic beer options make a big difference,” Flav wrote on X on Tuesday (Nov. 26).
Flav, 65, celebrated four years of sobriety last month, and he’s not the only musician on a sober journey. Travis Barker, Demi Lovato, Stevie Nicks, Elton John, Ringo Starr and Jack Harlow are some of the celebrities who have spoken up about sobriety.
In the spirit of all things merry, we’ve rounded up five of the best non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy for the holidays, Dry January and beyond. See below for a list of mocktails, non-alcoholic beer and other zero-proof tonics.
De Soi
De Soi Golden Hour
Cheers to Golden Hour! This booze-free beverage features warm notes of citrus, lemongrass and leafy herbs.
Katy Perry and Morgan McLachlan co-created De Soi, a sparkling line of non-alcoholic apéritifs. The drink line includes Italian-style spritzes, rose, red wine alternatives and other beverages made with natural ingredients such as lemon balm and L-theanine derived from green tea, black currant, tart cherry, vanilla, citrus, crisp white grape gentian root and other botanicals known to “enhance focus and promote relaxation” according to the product description.
Heineken
Heineken 0.0 Non-Alcoholic
Non-alcoholic beer might be easier to find from well know brands such as Heineken.
The brand’s alcohol-free, Heineken Zero tastes surprisingly similar to the real thing (and only 69 calories). Samuel Adams, Budweiser and Corona are a few other popular brands that have released non-alcoholic beer.
Three Spirit
The Alchemist’s Selection
A little bit of everything! The Alchemist’s Selection has four, non-alcoholic elixirs channeling different moods. Livener is an energizing beverage, Social is a “floaty” herbal drink, Sharp is a non-alcoholic wine alternative and Nightcap is “calming, woody and mellow.”
Three Spirit describes its process as “botanical alchemy” – a focus on what goes inside the drinks versus what’s missing. Created by bartenders, Three Spirits’ award-winning, non-alcoholic beverages feature plant-based ingredients such as lion’s mane, damiana, Schisandra, lemon balm, California poppy, cacao, clary sage, valerian root, turmeric and guava leaf.
