We put some of the latest read-to-drink mocktails to the test ahead of Sober October. We didn't just like them, we loved them!
Angels Dare Crafted Cocktails
Our absolute favourite alcohol-free cocktail is the newly-launched La Bonnie Vita flavour from Angel's Dare.
Not too sweet and with just the right amount of tartness, it combines Scottish Raspberries with zesty and vibrant Sicilian Lemon and a dash of Blood Orange.
It's said to embrace the romanticism of the Scottish - Italian love affair.
What we love most, of course, is that it contains no sulphites, preservatives, artificial colours or sweeteners. Perfection in a can.
Other flavours in the range include Secret Orchard, Maverick Martini, and Cheeky Wee Kiss.
Mavrik Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
Designed for free-spirited teetotallers, the sober-curious and anyone looking to moderate their alcohol intake, Mavrik has created a range of six, all natural and low calorie virgin cocktails inspired by the nation's favourites.
They are ideal if you have a sweet tooth, yet they're free from added sweeteners and won't give you a sore head in the morning.
Flavours are: Aromatic G&T; Cuban Mojito; Venetian Spritz; Storm & Spice; Passion Star Martini, and Espresso Martini.
Our favourite flavour from the range is Venetian Spritz, which is super refreshing and uplifting, with notes of orange, rhubarb and grapefruit.
It's even won a Great Taste Award.
Mocktails Uniquely Crafted

We couldn't wait to get stuck into these premium, award-winning, ready-to-drink canned Mocktails!
Each one is a unique, low calorie blend of the finest 100% natural botanicals and spices. They are also non-GMO, gluten-free and suitable for vegans.
They come in 200ml nitro cans – meaning they're non-carbonated but contain a clever widget that helps create a light foam on opening, much like the effect achieved after a cocktail shake.
Choose from Mockapolitan; Mockarita; Mockscow Mule; Sansgria, or the new Espress0% Martini.
We couldn't possibly pick a favourite.
Wavey Ice SIPS
Revive the 80s with this duo of non-alcoholic cocktails!
Bold fashion choices, neon lights and a decade of fruity cocktails and sophisticated bold sips marked the iconic decade we all know and love.
With all things 80s and 90s being Wham bang on trend, Wavey Ice – famous for its ice pops – has launched a duo of bougee pre-mixed alcohol-free cocktail pouches to bring a nostalgic taste of the decades to the sober curious.
Sips are the perfect no-hassle party, festival or picnic accessory, simply chill, shake and sip! If you're feeling bougie then pour over ice for an instant grown up cocktail slushy.
Don an oversized blazer and sip on a Mango Pineapple Mojito or get into the vibe with Sex on the Beach. Each Sip is mixed by in-house mixologists to give a huge depth of flavour, all the taste and zero booze.
Easy on the purse, the single serve pouches are an affordable treat. The two cocktails celebrate the current 80s cocktail trend making a comeback in bars across the UK.
Long Tail Mixers
Okay, granted these aren't technically mocktails. They are mixers, but bear with us because they are delicious on their own!
Available in five different flavours, spanning the warmth of Island Spice and Ginger & Lime to the tart freshness of Lemon Sour and Blood Orange, Long Tail is the ultimate alcohol-free swap for a Rum Punch, Margarita or even a Negroni.
They have been carefully blended to offer a full flavour profile, without being overpowering or overtly sweet and are the ideal mixer in an alcohol-free cocktail, or delicious when enjoyed on their own.
The Lemon Sour in a tall glass over ice was just perfect for us. You can find lots of recipes on the website too.
