The Newest Non Alcoholic Drinks for Dry January (2026)
For many years, the big movement in non-alcoholic spirits and cocktails was to replicate the flavor of boozy ones, be it rum and gin or Rum & Coke and Gin & Tonic. Many of these, if not most, failed to achieve flavor-identical versions of their inspirations. Along the way, some brands were scooped up by multinational liquor companies and then left to gather dust, while new brands with “functional” ingredients proliferated. The momentum in spirit taste-alikes has slowed but certainly not stopped.
The latest batch of NA beverages features offerings from cocktail, wine and spirits companies getting into the NA business as well as more established NA brands. Here are the most recent non-alcoholic wines, spirits and cocktails on the market.
Lyre’s Classico Rosé
Lyre’s is one of the most ambitious nonalcoholic companies out there, with lines of spirit replacements in nearly every category (including baijiu!), canned cocktails, and one single wine alternative until this fall. That wine is Classico, a champagne substitute available in wine bottle size and in cans. Their second wine-like product Lyre’s Classico Rosé was inspired by the Rosés of Provence, and they describe it as having notes of red cherry and strawberry, as opposed to the apple notes of the regular Classico.
Little Saints St. Oak
Little Saints is a Miami-based producer of non-alcoholic cocktails and spirits “powered by lion's mane and reishi mushrooms.” The existing line includes canned nonalcoholic cocktails including the Paloma, Mojito, and Espresso Martini, plus a mezcal substitute St. Ember and gin St. Juniper. To that, they’ve just added St. Oak, a nonalcoholic whiskey made with oak, vanilla, cardamom, and caramel extracts, in addition to the lion’s mane, reishi, and damiana. The Paloma was our favorite.
The Pathfinder Spritz and Espresso Tonic
The Pathfinder Hemp and Root is a bitter nonalcoholic digestif that they label a spirit, with dominant wormwood notes backed by angelica root, ginger, sage, juniper, saffron, Douglas fir, and orange peel. The product has been popular among bartenders as a satisfying shot with lots of lingering flavor compared with most NA products that are watery. This base spirit is used in their first spinoff ready-to-drink canned nonalcoholic Negroni, and was joined by The Pathfinder Spritz in summer 2025. This fall the line was further extended with The Pathfinder Espresso Tonic, again made with the base Pathfinder, but now with added Caffe Vita cold brew espresso from Seattle. We particularly like the Sprtiz. Read more about The Pathfinder.
Teaspoon Whiskey, Tequila, Gin And Italian Spritz
Teaspoon Gin, Italian Spritz, Tequila and Whiskey
Teaspoon nonalcoholic spirits come with a teaspoon stopper and marketing with garden lifestyle photography. Little information is available about the line’s ingredients and production but they do provide tempting tasting notes, which include cherry and vanilla notes in the whiskey, black pepper and tropical fruit in the tequila, grapefruit and elderflower in the gin, and red licorice and orange candy notes in the Italian spritz.
Empress 1908 0.0 Indigo
Empress 1908 Gin, the purple color-changing gin unavoidable on Instagram, has now launched a nonalcoholic variant. It also contains juniper, grapefruit, and the color source butterfly pea flower, but without the alcohol. The brand recommends using it in a Gin & Tonic or in an Indigo Daly, with fresh lemonade and iced tea. It's sweet with a spicy finish, and we preferred it on ice. This is a unique beverage that does not try to be gin.

Ghia’s nonalcoholic aperitif was one of the first products on the market to lean in to bitter flavors as a satisfying alternative to the bite of alcohol. They followed the bold gentian-forward product with a berry-flavored variant, then moved into canned cocktails in flavors of Sumac & Chili, Ghia-Soda, Ghia-Ginger, and Lime & Salt. The latest edition is Blood Orange Le Spritz, described as “a softer take on our signature bitter aperitivo—designed for those who prefer a gentler profile without sacrificing complexity.” It contains blood orange juice along with flavors from the original Ghia aperitif.
CleanCo line of non-alcoholic spirits
The CleanCo line of non-alcoholic spirits is not new, but has been newly reformulated in the UK to 0% ABV, while they were previously at 0.4%. The refreshed line is just coming into market in the US in 2026. The products that come in vodka, gin, tequila, rum, and whiskey flavors, and are made with vegetable glycerin and natural flavors like oak extract, ginger, cinnamon, and cassia bark.
Domaine Elena De Mendoza Brunette
This sparkling aperitif is a new member of the line of nonalcoholic wines from Domaine Elena De Mendoza made “vermouth style” with an infusion of botanicals. Typically, vermouth botanicals are infused into high proof alcohol or into wine directly making them challenging to produce without alcohol, but here they’re able to keep the product under the legal limit of .5% ABV to be legally nonalcoholic. The Brunette, which joins the Blonde, is a combination of verjus made from chardonnay grapes with botanicals and added fizz. The listed botanicals are pennyroyal, thyme, chamomile, and wormwood. The brand recommends serving Brunette chilled, with ice and a lemon slice, or with a splash of sparkling water and an orange peel, spritz-style.
Per Se Pink Daiquiri
Per Se nonalcoholic cocktails includes a Paloma, Hibiscus Margarita, and Mojito. This winter they’ve added a new product to the line, the Pink Daiquiri. They describe the flavor as “tart grapefruit and fresh key lime, rounded with cherry and a touch of sweetness.” The brand also featured some “beta flavors” on the website, so keep your eyes peeled for potential new products that could include an Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Whiskey Sour.
