Mocktails & Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

A mocktail is a cocktail without the alcohol, built to look and taste like the real thing. The ones in this directory are ready-to-drink versions you buy by the can or bottle rather than mix yourself.

In practice they are the same drink. Non-alcoholic cocktail is the term bars tend to use, and it often signals a drink built on a non-alcoholic spirit rather than just juice and soda. Mocktail is the everyday word for the same idea.

The good ones cost close to what the originals do, because non-alcoholic spirits and real cocktail production are not cheap. The alcohol was never the expensive part, the flavor work is.

It ranges widely. Juice-forward drinks land higher, and seltzer-style mocktails sit near zero. The nutrition on each drink page has the specifics where the brand publishes them.

Grocery stores, bottle shops, and direct-to-consumer brand sites all carry them now, and the map shows which stores and bars near you stock them.
