Alcohol-Free Beverages and Brands
1. Best Alcohol-Free Brand Overall
The sheer range of brands mentioned in our best alcohol-free brands category was a testimony to the growth of the industry as a whole. We love the alcohol-free category and you do too. While there are too many to mention, three brands rose to the top. Presenting the Best Alcohol-Free Brand overall!
2. Best Alcohol-Free Spirit
Our readers are purists when it comes to their favorite alcohol-free spirits. These takes on classic cocktail spirits took this year’s top spots.
3. Best Alcohol-Free Wine
The alcohol-free wine category remains a reader favorite with sparkling wines holding a place in our hearts much like last year. We love to see more brands entering the category and some old standbys continuing their reign.
4. Best Alcohol-Free Beer
One giant rules them all in the AF beer category (we thank you for your service) and the category’s diversity points to the fact that beer is a shoe-in for quality AF products. Diverse AF brand Grüvi takes second place, while the classic beer-lovers’ beer, Al’s, rounds out the top three.
5. Best herbal, restorative or bitter
Last year’s fan favorite—All The Bitter—dominated the herbal, restorative, and bitters category again, with Curious Elixirs’ wide range of deep flavored beverages coming in second, and the richness of The Pathfinder rounding out the top three.
6. Best Ready-to-Drink Cocktail
RTD is one of our favorite categories, and we appreciate how they make it easy for non-drinkers to fly under the radar while sipping something special. The sheer magnitude of what’s available on the market is awesome! Here are the three that topped this year’s list!
