The non-alcoholic drinks market is booming, and not only are alcohol brands producing 0% alternatives to their products, but also a wealth of new businesses that are specialising entirely in non-alcoholic options.
While the alcohol-free beer market has been around for a while, the spirits market is catching up and is now worth millions upon millions of dollars worldwide.
It comes as a result of changing trends, with more people becoming non-drinkers than ever before, while others have fallen into the trap of addiction and sought out addiction help with the likes of alcohol rehab UK, US and centres across Europe seeing more people arrive through their doors than ever before.
That’s seeing more consumers turn to the likes of mocktails and 0% spirits, but what are the best on the market today? We delve into the ever-growing market…

Seedlip
One of the pioneers of the non-alcoholic drinks market, Seedlip offers a great range of drinks with complex botanical flavours that are perfect for mixing with tonics. Seedlip Garden 108, Seedlip Spice 94, and Seedlip Grove 42 are all incredibly popular, while the brand itself has received plenty of acclaim over the years for its high-quality and sophisticated non-alcoholic options.
Lyre’s
Another brand known for its diverse range of spirits, Lyre’s Dry London Spirit is a non-alcoholic gin perfect for adding tonic and a slice of lemon, while the American Malt is a whiskey replacement that has earned rave reviews. Whether you want to drink neat or use it in cocktails, Lyre’s is a brand well worth looking into. Their products always provide an authentic flavour, just without the alcohol.
Æcorn Aperitifs
Inspired by the English countryside, Æcorn Aperitifs creates sophisticated, non-alcoholic aperitifs that are crafted from a blend of English grapes and botanicals. Their range includes Æcorn Dry, Æcorn Bitter, and Æcorn Aromatic, and are designed to be enjoyed on the rocks or mixed into complex alcohol-free cocktails.
Ritual Zero Proof
Ritual Zero Proof provides several alternatives to gin, whiskey, and tequil. Their products are crafted using natural botanical extracts and flavourings to match the traditional spirits they replicate. Ideal for classic cocktails, Ritual Zero Proof is becoming a popular choice, particularly among bartenders and bar owners worldwide.
Fluère
Fluere is a premium non-alcoholic brand from the Netherlands with several products. Fluère Original, Fluère Raspberry Blend, and Fluère Smoked Agave offer a diverse selection of flavours to suit different preferences. You’ll find it in many specialist shops and online, and their website also provides plenty of non-alcoholic cocktail recipes.
Of course, there are many more on the market, too, with supermarket shelves and artisan shops lining their shelves with these 0% alternatives, and over the next few years, that’s only going to continue as more of us give up the booze and opt for the equally tasty, healthier, hangover free alternatives.
