Zero-proof, non-alcoholic, spirit-free—whatever term you choose, today’s alcohol-absent drinks are entirely different from the sugar-laden concoctions of cocktail menus past.
According to a recent Gallup poll, young adults in the U.S. ages 18-34 have become less likely to use alcohol since the year 2000. To support this statistic, a recent Forbes article stated, “The ‘sober curious’ lifestyle — which means a person is exploring alcohol abstinence—is growing in popularity among Gen Z and millennials.”
This is the coming of age for alcoholic-free beverages, which are now omnipresent in the Entertainment Capital of the World — oozing with sophistication and thoughtfully sourced ingredients that rival their boozy counterparts. No matter what generational bracket you fall in, it looks as though mocktail culture is here to stay. Below is a list of some of the best places to find them.
