Nonalcoholic cocktails have come a long way. By now, you know that the category is more than just cloying fruit punches, and that “mocktail” is no longer a dirty word; go to any good cocktail bar and you’ll find more than one creative N/A drink that’s just as celebratory as its full-proof counterparts.
Here are our favorite nonalcoholic cocktail recipes. Some turn the classics—Negroni to Espresso Martini—spirit-free. But others take a different tact. As bartender, author and N/A drinks fan John deBary puts it, a growing number of bars are “breaking free from the familiar—and useful—beats of cocktail orthodoxy” to make their mocktails. Sometimes it’s more exciting to make something entirely brand new.
