Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks
I’ve reviewed and tasted hundreds of non-alcoholic drinks over the past few years and am constantly impressed by the amazing drinks that I come across.
Naturally, people always ask me what is the best alcohol-free drink I’ve tried? Well, my first response is to point them to my alcohol-free drink selector. This free tool allows anyone to see all the drinks I’ve reviewed and their scores (also lets you organise by category and other filters).
However, for those who want an immediate answer, I’ve created this page which reviews the best of the best when it comes to non-alcoholic drinks. Whether a stout or sparkling white wine, below you’ll see the most up-to-date top scoring drinks.

What are the best non-alcoholic beers?
Beers are by far the most common category when it comes to alcohol-free drinking. In part this is due to the number of new breweries that have popped up to cater for non-alcoholic beer drinkers. I’ve split the best-of-the-best into IPA’s, Lagers, Stouts and Wheat beers but there also some great sours and shandys to try out.
Best Non-alcoholic IPA beers
The IPA beer category is one of my favourites and one the most hotly contested. Even though there is no alcohol you can expect some punchy, tangy and bitter flavours from these top-scoring non-alcoholic IPA beers.
Best Non-alcoholic Pale Ales
Almost the perfect drink for a hot summer day, a cold refreshing alcohol-free pale ale goes down a real treat. Lots of malty and hoppy notes with a great head on the beers, what’s more to like? Check out all the pale ale reviews I’ve written.
Best Non-alcoholic Lagers
Non-alcoholic lagers are a common beer category and as such there is a lot of competition. If you are looking for an easy-to-drink non-alcoholic beer then these are a great choice. Check out more of my non-alcoholic lager reviews.
Best Non-alcoholic Stouts
I love a stout beer on a cold evening so its good to see the quality of non-alcoholic stouts has been increasing. With its decadent, heavy flavours and textures, I’m sure the ones I’ve picked here are going to please all stout drinkers. Check out more of my non-alcoholic stout reviews.
Best Non-alcoholic Wheat beers
What’s not to love about a frothy bittersweet wheat beer? Full of malty, hoppy flavours you can’t go wrong with this German classic, especially the ones I’ve picked out opposite. Check out all my non-alcoholic wheat beer reviews.
What is the best non-alcoholic wine?
Non-alcoholic wines still have some way to go to help lift the reputation of alcohol-free drinking. The wine category that generally gets the highest scores are the non-alcoholic sparkling wines; refreshing and very drinkable for most occassions. Reds and Roses still have a way to go, there are a couple of good ones but others are what I coined ‘DFS’ (destined for the sink).
Best Non-alcoholic sparkling white wines
If you are looking for a sparkling white wine or non-alcohol champagne alternative then you are in luck as there are quite a few decent ones to choose from. Check out more alcohol-free sparkling wine reviews.
Best Non-alcoholic sparkling red & rose wines
Although white wine dominates the sparkling category there are still a great number of non-alcoholic sparkling rose and red wines. Check out some interesting ones to try out opposite.
Best Non-alcoholic Red Wine
As you’ll see from the scores, alcohol-free red wine does not score as highly as other drink categories due in part to the removal of a higher level of alcohol; that said, reds still score better than whites. Check out more of my non-alcoholic wine reviews.
What is the best non-alcoholic spirit?
There is an ever-increasing range of non-alcoholic spirits and pre-mixed mocktails to choose from. Whether you are after a dark spirit such as whisky and rum or looking for light spirits such as gin and vodka, you’ll find a decent enough alternative. I’ve been particularly impressed with the quality of pre-mixed non-alcoholic cocktails and they are definitely worth checking out.
Best Non-alcoholic spirits
In the main, non-alcoholic spirits are pretty tasty and realistic alternatives to their alcoholic versions. That said ‘white’ spirits, especially gin, are particularly execptional. Check out more of my non-alcoholic spirit reviews.
Best Non-alcoholic Cocktails
You can now buy a range of pre-mixed non-alcoholic cocktails (normally can-based) which are alternatives to classic alcoholic versions. Simply chill them down and bring them to a party. Check out more of my non-alcoholic cocktail reviews.
What is the best non-alcoholic cider?
I’ve tried out over ten different non-alcoholic ciders and for the most part, they are pretty decent. Expect a nice balance of sweet and tart apple flavours with the following selection. Also, check out a few reviews on alcohol-free pear cider.
