4 non-alcoholic swaps for your favourite cocktails

Move over fancy cocktails, mocktails are having a moment. Non-alcoholic alternatives to the distilled versions, and carefully crafted mocktail recipes are more readily available now.

Along with new guidelines suggesting a limited amount of alcohol per week can lead to better health outcomes, more people are turning away from the tipples and looking instead for a non-alcoholic alternative without compromising experience or taste. Restaurants are creating delicious mocktail recipes and menus for those who aren’t drinking or don’t drink so they too can have a sweet or savoury beverage experience.

We’ve gathered up some alternatives to your favourite drinks to try at your next party, weekend tasting, or for your pre-dinner beverage. Many of these non-alcoholic options can be ordered online or found at your favourite kitchen store.
