MY ABC of non-alcoholic spirits

On this page I’m listing my own ABC of all non-alcoholic spirits I have ever seen/tasted or read/heard about…! There is such a huge variety on the market nowadays (which is aaawesome obvs!!!) so I thought it might be nice to make an overview of all of them. Some of these I have already tried (a short review will be included in that case) and some I haven´t. For the drinks that I haven´t tried yet, I added a short description.

For your convenience, I also added direct links of all of these products. Some are links to the original websites and others will link to either the online amazon.co.uk shop or to one of my two favourite shops. In Spain this is The Blue Dolphin Store. They offer a great selection of alcohol free beverages and fantastic customer service. My favourite online shop for N/A drinks in the UK is The Alcoholfree Co – Huge selection of high quality brands!

Practically all of the products in this list are available in Europe. Some of them also in the US and/or Australia & New Zealand – The drinks that are also for sale there (or ship to there) I marked with an * to make them easier to identify for you, my non-European readers 😉

The links that lead directly to the shops are affiliate links and if you go through them to make a purchase I will receive a small amount of compensation. This comes without any cost to you and will help me to keep my little blog afloat. Plz know that I only recommend products that I’ve personally used/tried and stand behind.

With regards to the different terms for no/low alcoholic beverages, I use the following two in this article:

´Non-alcoholic´ ➡️ This term may be used on malt beverages, provided it contains less than 0.5% ‘alcohol by volume’ – Interesting Fact: This is roughly the same percentage of alcohol found in freshly squeezed orange juice, or a very ripe banana. Just for reference.

´Alcohol-free´ ➡️ This term may be used only on malt beverages containing no alcohol whatsoever.

I hope you will enjoy perusing through all these non-alcoholic options and let me know if you have any questions and/or know of any products that you would like me to add to my ABC of non-alcoholic spirits!
