Ish
Non-Alcoholic Gin

Probably the best NA "gin" out there — robust and heavy on the juniper.

✓ type ✓ category
Parch
Desert Margarita

Another winner from Parch — a delightful, complex citrus, less smoky than their Piñarita.

✓ type ✓ category
Ish
Gin and Tonic

A very convincing rendition of a gin and tonic.

✓ type ✓ category
Ish
Lime Daiquiri

A convincing daiquiri from a brand that keeps winning — no idea how they do it.

✓ type ✓ category
Parch
Spiced Piñarita

Smoky and spicy, feels like more than a soda — a real find for mezcal fans.

✓ type ✓ category
Ish
Caribbean Spiced Spirit "Rum"

Not rum, but it has real potential — one of the few NA spirits with actual bite.

✓ type ✓ category
Pathfinder
Hemp and Root

A bit much to drink solo, but a genuinely good building block for mocktails.

✓ type ✓ category
Little Saints
St Ember

A genuinely great standalone spirit with a nice citrus/smoky/spicy balance — huge mocktail potential, still looking for its perfect recipe.

✓ type ✓ category
Greenbar Distillery
UN Rum and Coke

A pretty good approximation of a rum and coke.

✓ type ✓ category
Mingle Mocktails
Cranberry Cosmo

A darn good approximation of a cosmo — a few drops of Bitter Tears' "Kiki" bitters adds bite without changing the flavor much.

✓ type ✓ category
Monday
Gin

None of the NA gins are truly good, but this is the closest — makes a nice-ish martini shaken with a lemon twist.

✓ type ✓ category
Monday
Mezcal

The best of the fake mezcals — but only worth it if you liked real mezcal to begin with.

✓ type ✓ category
Little Saints
Mojito

Tasty and low sugar, with an unusual mushroom-and-monk-fruit edge that won't be for everyone.

✓ type ✓ category
Lyre's
American Malt and Cola

A super tasty jack-and-coke stand-in, just not special enough — and a lot of sugar (17g).

✓ type ✓ category
Bonbuzz
Bonbuzz

Spicy enough to make even a rough fake tequila almost palatable when mixed.

✓ type ✓ category
Free Spirits
Gin

Slightly better than other NA gins, with a nice peppery bite — but Monday and Ish gins are still better.

Three Spirit
Nightcap

A little witchy to drink alone; might work as a mocktail ingredient, but the ideal recipe hasn't turned up yet, and it spoils fast.

✓ type ✓ category
Parch
Prickly Paloma

Easy to imagine someone else liking this — just wasn't a personal fit.

✓ type ✓ category
Seedlip
Seedlip

The default answer behind most bars' mocktail menus — better used to slow down a low-ABV cocktail than as a true zero-alcohol substitute.

✓ type ✓ category
Flyers Cocktail Co.
Tokyo Marg

An interesting flavor that doesn't quite land solo, but has potential as a mocktail ingredient.

✓ type ✓ category
Mingle Mocktails
Key Lime Margarita

Tasty enough, but doesn't taste particularly grownup — adding Monday "mezcal" didn't help.

✓ type ✓ category
Lyre's
Margarita (Premixed Can)

Fine enough, but not great, and not worth the sugar.

✓ type ✓ category
Rasavada
Rasavada

Kind of meh on its own — might be an interesting mocktail ingredient, but no recipe found yet.

✓ type ✓ category
Monday
Whiskey

Slightly better than other fake whiskeys, but only slightly.

✓ type ✓ category
Wilderton
Botanical Spirit: Earthen

Nasty solo, and a genuinely hard pair even for mocktails — eventually poured down the drain for good.

✓ type ✓ category
Optimist Botanicals
"Smokey"

An overwhelming, unfocused mess of a flavor profile — expensive, too, despite the pretty bottle.

✓ type ✓ category
Spiritless
Kentucky 74 "Bourbon"

It's everywhere, but it's one of the worse fake bourbons on the shelf.

✓ type ✓ category
Saint Ivy
Moscow Mule

Nasty — had to pour it down the drain.

✓ type ✓ category
Free Spirits
Tequila

Especially nasty, even by fake-tequila standards.

✓ type ✓ category
Greenbar Distillery
UN Gin and Tonic

Unlike their rum and coke, this is gross and tastes like soap.
