It's time to reclaim alcohol-free drinks from the bland and the boring, with this collection of ingenious alternatives to high-strength offerings.

Recipes include shrubs and chilled tea and coffee-based options plus fun mocktails that take zero-proof tipples to new heights of deliciousness.

For too long, designated drivers, detoxers, and teetotallers have been sadly neglected when it comes to great drinks. But now a whole new generation of health-conscious and sober-curious drinkers have demanded a wider choice of options. As a result, bartenders are getting creative, and mocktails have become mainstream offerings on bar menus rather than lack-lustre afterthoughts. Global spirit brands have responded to growing demand too with delicious low- and zero-proof alternatives to long-established and popular brands as well as entirely new products to satisfy a growing appetite.

This exciting collection of drinks recipes prove that ditching the booze doesn't mean sacrificing taste. There are drinks to appeal to all tastes, whether you crave a burst of freshness, a hint of sweetness, a kick of tartness, or a hit of bitterness. Recipes include Tea by the Sea, Espresso Love, Daisy Daisy, SuperSonic, Mint Limonana, Black Velvety, and so much more!
