The Best Alcohol-Free Drinks for Every Occasion

A night in, a toast, a G&T, a pint at the pub. The alcohol-free drink we would pick for each.

By Alex Stewart · Updated

Most people do not want "an alcohol-free drink". They want something for a specific moment: the first drink after work, a toast at a wedding, a round at the pub.

So we picked by occasion. Each pick is the drink we would actually reach for, with the label facts beside it.

Quick answerFor a night in, IMPOSSIBREW Enhanced Lager, the #1 alcohol-free beer on Trustpilot. For a toast, Freixenet 0.0%. For a G&T, Tanqueray 0.0%. At the pub, Guinness 0.0. Check IMPOSSIBREW availability

What IMPOSSIBREW drinkers say

★★★★★

I love the lager

I love the lager, you would not know any difference from regular alcoholic lager, tastes amazing. Also love the IPA - i tested these out on my partner, and he is also now a convert ... so nice to relax and enjoy a cool beer - and no hangover.

Tried the mixed box first

Tried the mixed box first, really enjoyed the feeling of liking a low alcohol beer. Felt relaxed at the end of the evening and great in the morning. Tried the triple hop next, excellent flavour. Always serve Really cold, it does enhance the flavour.

Most craft alcohol-free beers are 0.5%, the standard in much of Europe, and the government has committed to consult on raising the "alcohol free" limit to 0.5%.
