🏆 MyDryBar’s Best-Rated Drinks

Looking for the best non-alcoholic drinks? This is the shortcut. MyDryBar has reviewed hundreds of alcohol-free beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, ciders and functional drinks since 2020. These are the categories and drinks that currently stand out.

Quick answer: Alcohol-free beer is currently the strongest category for consistently convincing alternatives, while spirits contain some of MyDryBar’s highest individual scores. Sparkling wine generally performs better than still alcohol-free wine. But the “best” drink depends on what you normally enjoy — so use our scores as a shortlist, not a rule.

MyDryBar tip: Don’t choose purely by score. Start with the style you already enjoy, then use the score to narrow the field.

🍷 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.

🍹 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.

82/100

Fever-Tree Mediterranean G&T

A convenient adult-tasting ready-to-drink option.

81/100

Spritz ISH

A bitter, refreshing aperitivo-style option.

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.
