🍺 Best non-alcoholic beers
Beer remains the deepest alcohol-free category on MyDryBar. There are now convincing lagers, hop-heavy IPAs, stouts, wheat beers, pale ales and flavoured beers. These are some current standouts.
Lucky Saint Lager
Crisp, balanced and still one of MyDryBar’s benchmark alcohol-free lagers.
Maisel’s Weisse
A strong choice for the fuller body and classic character of wheat beer.
Miami Grove
A highly rated pale ale showing how far the category now extends beyond lager.
Lucky Saint IPA
A modern craft-style IPA with proper alcohol-free drinking credentials.
🍷 Best non-alcoholic wines
Wine remains harder to reproduce because removing alcohol changes body and finish. Sparkling wines are generally the easiest place to start: carbonation restores freshness and texture.
Pop Zero
Current top score in MyDryBar’s main wine database.
FJELL
A distinctive Nordic option with a more unusual flavour profile.
Belle & Co Sparkling Rosé
One of the stronger-performing rosé choices.

🍸 Best non-alcoholic spirits
Spirits contain some of MyDryBar’s highest scores. Most work best as ingredients in a proper mixed serve rather than being judged neat against full-strength spirits.
Coffee Originale
Joint highest-scoring spirit in the current database.
Pink London Spirit
A top-rated gin-style alternative for long drinks.
Clean G
Classic gin cues with juniper, citrus and botanicals.
🍹 Best non-alcoholic cocktails
Ready-to-drink cocktails are one of the easiest ways into alcohol-free drinking: chill, pour and serve. They also remove the guesswork of matching a spirit alternative with the right mixer.
Fever-Tree Mediterranean G&T
A convenient adult-tasting ready-to-drink option.
Spritz ISH
A bitter, refreshing aperitivo-style option.
Gordon’s Free & Tonic
A familiar, accessible classic G&T alternative.
🍏 Best non-alcoholic cider
Cider translates surprisingly well without alcohol because apple acidity, sweetness and carbonation can still provide plenty of structure.
Two Farmers Cider
The highest cider among MyDryBar’s current top-rated database results.
Chance Cider
A well-rated traditional-style apple option.
Thatchers Zero
A mainstream choice with familiar cider character.
🌿 Best functional & adult alcohol-free drinks
The category is no longer just about imitating alcohol. Kombucha, adaptogens and sophisticated adult soft drinks offer a different drinking experience altogether.
Social Elixir
The highest-scoring functional drink in the current category.
Gaba Gold
A distinctive option for drinkers looking beyond traditional substitutes.
Hit Rest
A kombucha-style route into functional alcohol-free drinking.

How MyDryBar chooses the best drinks
This isn’t a list based on sponsorship or whichever brand has the biggest marketing budget. MyDryBar has reviewed alcohol-free drinks since 2020 and uses a 100-point scoring system. Depending on category, we consider flavour, aroma, body, balance, authenticity, finish, versatility, value and whether we’d genuinely choose the drink again. Reviews also record ABV, nutrition and dietary information where available.
Find YOUR best alcohol-free drink
A ranking tells you what scored highest. The Drink Selector helps identify what is most likely to suit you. Filter hundreds of reviews by type, style, country, score and dietary preferences.
