Zero-proof drinks have quickly become an increasingly popular alternative to alcohol consumption. This year, various authors have published books featuring N/A recipes ranging from easy beverages for home bartenders to complex concoctions that fit seamlessly on any cocktail menu. These drinks, known as spritzes, coolers, punches and aperitifs by various names such as “spritzes, coolers,” “coolers” “coolers,” punches or “aperitifs”, contain ingredients like fruit syrups, acid phosphate, teas or even sous vide-infused cocktails. Julia Bainbridge’s “Sober October” 2020 release takes a Shirley Temple-like approach: she forgoes the classic grenade cocktail but does reach for it with Kitten Whiskers (an homage to David Embury’s Pussyfoot), mixing pomegranate syrup with lime, lemon and aquafaba for Kitten Whiskers (in line with Embury). Others such as Camille Wilson’s Free Spirit Cocktails or Elva Ramirez’s Zero Proof Drinks and More are crowd pleasers that don’t necessitate frequent trips back into specialty-ingredient aisles.

Drinks that promote sleep tend to be plant-based beverages that can be prepared quickly in minutes, making it convenient to create soothing cocktails before bedtime. Alcohol, caffeinated, and sugary drinks should be avoided around this time. Many of these beverages contain ingredients which support tryptophan, melatonin production or relaxation; turmeric or tart cherry juice may even ease pain or discomfort by helping induce restful slumber; research on Hops as an ingredient found in non-alcoholic beer may prove promising as it could potentially alter menstrual cycle cycles causing changes or may even help relieve symptoms such as chronic menstrual cycles; thus it should not be taken by pregnant or nursing mothers nor those suffering from hormone-sensitive cancers or conditions due to potential changes.(72)
