Sober Sips

When you want all the flavor, but none of the buzz. With zero-proof drinks catching on, we asked three local experts—wine and spirits purveyors

Lautus Sauvignon Blanc
This de-alcoholised Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favorite N/A wines. It is bright and tropical but very well balanced by acidity, making it the perfect elegant white to have with a meal or on its own.

St. Agrestis Phony Negroni
The botanicals in this are so beautiful, natural, and organic. It’s their take on a traditional Negroni, with a perfect bit of bitterness and bubbles, pre-mixed and ready to drink.

De Soi Spritz Italiano
This has a well-balanced, crisp profile that mimics the traditional spritz. It’s the ideal drink for those seeking a lively, sophisticated alternative that’s celebratory and refreshing.

Unified Ferments Jasmine Green
Crafted using high-quality jasmine green tea; the natural fermentation process enhances the complex flavors making it smooth and layered. (Note: due to the fermentation process, this contains small amounts of alcohol.)

Lyre’s Dark ’N Spicy
I’m a fan of the Lyre’s entire range of zero-proof offerings. Specifically, I like their ready-to-serve Dark ’N Spicy. It’s a riff on the classic Dark and Stormy with a bit of heat that mimics the alcohol nicely.

Guinness Zero
There are so many good non-alcoholic craft beers, but I still go back to Guinness Zero. It’s rich, creamy, and malty just like the original—you’d be hard pressed to tell them apart!
