Can You Still Enjoy Cocktails Without Alcohol?

Free Spirits and a myriad of bar tools, garnishes,  and bitters

Quick Answer ✅

Yes.

A great cocktail is about balance, structure, and feel — not just alcohol. If you care about the drink itself, you won’t lose anything by going non-alc. Free Spirits gives you all of it, just without the ethanol.

What Makes a Cocktail a Cocktail? 🍸

It’s not the alcohol. It’s the build.

The weight in the glass. The balance of sharp, bitter, and smooth. The moment of making something — and sipping it with intent.

If you thought your mocktail was missing something, it probably was. Free Spirits restore the balance with a replacement for the core spirit.

This isn’t a substitute. It’s a stand-in that holds its own.

What Replaces the Alcohol? 🧪

Each bottle of Free Spirits is made using our Distillate Reconstruction™ process. This is how we rebuild the experience of spirits from the ground up.

That means:

  • Real botanicals and natural extracts
  • Structure, mouthfeel, and aroma
  • Capsaicin for a warming, spirit-like finish
  • B-vitamins for a subtle, functional lift — because a cocktail should give you something back

Whether you’re making a stirred-down Negroni or a long G&T, Free Spirits gives you what you need to make it feel like a drink that matters.

Real Recipes. Real Techniques. Real Cocktails. 📚

There’s no learning curve here.

You can use Mr. Boston’s, Death & Co, or any classic guide. Free Spirits works in a 1:1 ratio for gin, bourbon, tequila, or aperitivo builds — same ingredients, same measures, same shaker.

There’s also a growing wave of NA-specific cocktail books and recipe cards out there.

This is about making drinks the way you always have, just with a new base.

What About Alcohol? ⚖️

Free Spirits clocks in at ~0.3% ABV. By definition, that's non-alcoholic, and about the same as orange juice or a ripe banana.

  • A Gin and Tonic made with Free Spirits Gin and tonic water? ~0.1%.
  • An equal-parts Negroni made entirely with Free Spirits? Still ~0.3%.

It’s not about dodging a number. It’s about choosing a better outcome — with the same satisfaction.

TL;DR 🔎

Q: Can you still enjoy real cocktails without alcohol?
A: Absolutely. Free Spirits gives you the structure, flavor, and balance of a proper cocktail — without the alcohol. If your mocktails felt flat, this is what was missing.

The Bottom Line

Stepping away from alcohol doesn’t mean stepping away from great cocktails.

The glassware, the build, the flavor — it’s all still there. Free Spirits gives you the same experience, the same satisfaction , without the alcohol getting in the way.
