Alcohol-free spirits not only look beautiful on your bar, but taste great, and some brands fall into the functional category, which include adaptogens & euphorics that make you feel amazing too.

Mix Your Favorite Mocktail with Non-Alcoholic Spirits

You may have noticed, but a shared mindset focused on “overall wellness” is changing the social standard to be more inclusive. This has led to a growing desire for elevated alcohol free spirits. Sophisticated non-alcoholic alternatives that are full of flavor, free of sugar or gluten, and most importantly; actually worth drinking.

At Sèchey, we carry a curated selection of non-alcoholic spirits that create an alternative sober bar that is perfectly unique to your taste, and those of your guests who might not drink alcohol.

What are Alcohol Free Spirits?

Alcohol-free alternatives are defined by a variety of companies that produce a range of zero proof alcohol spirits perfect for a social setting without the negative effects of alcohol the next day.

From classically distilled dealcoholized spirits to small batch botanical blends crafted by hand, there are a wide variety of options for every taste profile. For instance, you’ll find an emerging style of non-alcoholic beverages called euphorics, or functional beverages. They’re made with brain benefiting compounds called nootropics, adaptogens for stress relief, and botanics rich in antioxidants. These exist in a separate, yet similar class, to the popular hemp infused options.

Regardless of the method used, the goal remains the same across all these emerging brands - to develop a great tasting alcohol-free spirit that elevates the standard and shatters preconceived notions of “enjoying a drink.”

One of the most popular options, Kin Euphorics, makes alcohol free options aimed at relieving stress and anxiety.

APLÓS

Aplos hemp infused non-alcoholic spirit.

An innovative take on non-alcoholic adaptogen based spirits, Aplós is a hemp-infused blend that calms and uplifts. The debut flavor is citrus forward with notes of ginger and rosemary for a bold and nuanced experience. Only exceptional ingredients go into the spirit that contains 20 mg of broad-spectrum hemp per serving. It is intended to be a more natural way to unwind, minus the negative effects that often follow an evening of drinking alcohol. Also, nano-emulsification technology converts the hemp extract used in the process into smaller, water-soluble particles. This means a more controlled experience as the active cannabinoids are absorbed more efficiently.

Think of Aplós as an alternative to your preferred liquor and embrace the calm. Pour a glass and naturally unwind today.

What are the Best Non-Alcoholic Spirits to Make Mocktails at Home?

Get together with your favorite people, craft some homemade mocktails and enjoy your new favorite beverages on your own terms. These days, there are a variety of zero proof alcohol options out there. This new age of non-alcoholic spirits offers a booze-free version of nearly every classic liquor. The best really depends on what flavor you’re looking for, and if you’d like adaptogens or nootropics included.

Margaritas are a favorite at Sèchey and we think these alcohol free tequila options make some of the best homemade mockaritas. Mix up a spicy marg with Bonbuz Slowburn, a well rounded blend of blood orange, hibiscus and grapefruit that pairs perfectly with jalapeño. Or, invoke the beach lifestyle with a margarita made from Ritual Tequila Alternative that will have you thinking you’re sipping the real deal.

Craft a New Fashioned with the oaky Ritual whiskey alternative or Kentucky 74 Spiritless non-alcoholic bourbon. Both pair perfectly with an evening of socializing with friends or relaxing at home while enjoying a good book. You can even have a mid-day mocktail that isn’t followed by a groggy early evening hangover. Our non-sober friends can go halfsies and have a low alcohol alternative.

The fresh lemony notes of citrus, sherbert and salty sunshine, Bright alcohol free vodka from Optimist is a wonderful daytime option, and it looks beautiful on your bar cart. A splash of your favorite club soda is all it takes to make an elevated vodka or gin & tonic like beverage.

Keep things light and fresh with a non-alcoholic aperitivo such as Lyre's Italian Spritz. It blends the sweetness of orange with astringent, bittersweet flavors of rhubarb that finishes dry. Or reach for Fiore by Figlia, a zero proof ode to the classic spritz that bottles the lushness of Italian gardens.

For the juniper lovers out there, Optimist offers Fresh, an alternative to gin that encapsulates the flavor you enjoy most. Pair it with a splash of tonic water for a new take on an old school favorite. Notes of wild herbs and earthy pine make for a complex experience that doesn’t try to hide.

If you’re one to keep things simple, it’s easy to enjoy a non-alcoholic rum & cola. Ritual makes a tasty rum alternative that pairs great with the vanilla and cinnamon notes of a popular cola. You can also mix it with your favorite ginger beer for a quick dark & stormy.

One of our favorites, and leading the functional beverage category, is adaptogen based non-alcoholic spirit Kin Euphorics, which will delight your mind, body and spirit. Kin Euphorics was developed to reinvigorate you for peak social performance during after work outings. We also love Aplós, a hemp infused alcohol free spirit that is perfect for an evening of introspection or conversation.

There are a whole lot of easy homemade mocktail recipes that you can enjoy while relaxing at home or out socializing with friends. Whatever your desired flavor, Sèchey has everything you need to make your alcohol free evenings something to remember.
