Pentire is a zero hero drinks brand created by plant-loving hipsters who love to play outdoors, and this healthy riff on the classic Margarita is getting us through Dry Jan, using coastal botanicals with lime, agave, sea salt and a dash of Mexican chilli. Zingy and utterly delicious.</p><p>From £22.50</p><p><a href="https://pentiredrinks.com/collections/pentire-non-alcoholic-spirits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

French Bloom – co-founded by Constance Joblonski and Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger – has been voted the World’s Best Alcohol-free at the 2022 and 2023, and we’re loving the tropical notes, Granny Smith apple and slightly spicy citrus fruits – a special drink for teetotalers and designated drivers.</p><p>£31.99</p><p><a href="https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/low-no-alcohol-french-bloom-le-blanc-organic-french-bubbly-750ml_R03878723/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Made using feel-good plants, such as yerba mate and lion’s mane mushroom, you’ll be the life and soul of the party and still be able to drive home. What’s it like? It’s bold flavour that smells sweet with a savoury bite. We think best served in mocktails or topped up with soda for a posh cola taste.</p><p>£29.75</p><p><a href="https://drydrinker.com/products/three-spirit-social-elixir-1-x-50cl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Brewed in Scotland to a classic Helles recipe (with soft Lammermuir hills water, naturally), it’s clean, crisp and refreshingly grown-up – none of that watery, vaguely apologetic nonsense. It’s 0.0% ABV, just 33 calories a can, and brewed to never produce alcohol in the first place, so the flavour stays firmly intact.</p><p>£21.59 for a case of 12</p><p><a href="https://daysbrewing.com/products/alcohol-free-lager-cans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Not on our watch, lady. Spencer Matthew’s CleanCo alcohol-free spirits brand has an excellent tequila alternative. Distilled from the finest agave plants and infused with a blend of botanicals, it nails the smell and the burn of a traditional tequila.</p><p>£14</p><p><a href="https://www.ocado.com/products/cleanco-clean-t-alcohol-free-tequila-alternative-0-0-abv/560296011" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

This is a sophisticated zero-alcohol rum alternative, containing lots of sweet brown sugar flavour, a hint of chocolate and an oaky finish. Serve with cola, lime wedges and lots of ice. You’ll be rewarded with a drink that measures up to its boozy big sister, cola sweet with a rich spice that warms the back of the throat.</p><p>£20.75</p><p><a href="https://www.distillersdirect.com/products/lyres-dark-cane-spirit-0-70cl">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

It’s a classic dry London gin alternative, crafted with juniper and citrus. Pour over ice, top up with tonic and enjoy with a twist of fresh grapefruit zest. Delicious.</p><p>£15</p><p><a href="https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/sipsmith-freeglider-non-alcoholic-spirit/819276-747590-747591">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Booze-free ciders tend to taste like Apple Tango – overly sweet and artificial – but Holly GoLightly is traditional farm cider that hits the spot. It’s a Great Taste Awards winner too.</p><p>£31.35 for 12</p><p><a href="https://celtic-marches.myshopify.com/products/hollygolightly">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>
