Let’s start with the basics. What are adult non-alcoholic beverages?
Cheeky & Dry Non-Alcoholic Bottle Shop sells adult non-alcoholic beverages that have no more than 0.5% alcohol in them. That’s a fancy way of saying barely any booze. To put it in perspective a very ripe banana has about 0.4% ABV.
Different Types of Non-Alcoholic Drinks
- Non-Alcoholic Beers - Non-alcoholic beers no longer taste like punishment. These beers are delicious with as much complexity as you are looking for. There are well known options like Guiness, Heineken, Blue Moon, Asahi and TsingTao. There are locals like Fremont (Seattle) and Three Magnet’s Self Care (Olympia), Sierra Nevada (Eugene), and Deschuttes (Portland). There are specialty beers like Nettle Beer from Hierophant, Orange Wit from Fremont, Suntory malt beverage (0 calories & 0 carbs and still tastes delish) and Athletic's pilot program beers. There is a non-alcoholic option for almost any beer your heart desires.
- Non-Alcoholic Wines - These wines come in two main types: dealcoholized wines and wine alternatives. Dealcoholized wines undergo fermentation and then have the alcohol removed through processes like vacuum distillation, reverse osmosis, or spinning cone column distillation. You’ll find a variety of options, including Sparkling, Chardonnay, Rose, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Merlot, Syrah, GSM, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine alternatives such as proxies and sparkling teas mimic the flavor and texture of wine but contain 0% ABV. All are delicious and carefully curated.
- Ready to Drink Cocktails (RTDs) - Some folks call them mocktails, but we like to call them non-alcoholic cocktails—because “mocktail” is an alcohol removed cocktail and these drinks are crafted with as much flair and creativity as their boozy cousins just without the ethanol. So buckle up and get ready to sip on some seriously exciting concoctions! Some examples are the Phony Negroni, Sir James 101 Pink G & T, Nowhere Apples Hops & Honey, Pentire Coastal Spritz, Mockly Eye Opener (lemon, tangerine, peach, lemon grass and basil), the list goes on. These are perfect single serving options you can take to any occasion.
- Non-Alcoholic Spirits - We also call these analogue spirits. If you’re looking for a tequila, gin, whiskey, bourbon, Campari, mezcal, amaro or other we have them available. Just don’t ask us for vodka - non-alc vodka is pretty much water. We are here to help you find the perfect substitute for your cocktail creations.
- Free Form Spirits - Free Form Spirits are the trailblazers of the non-alcoholic world. These unique beverages aren’t trying to mimic anything else; they stand out on their own. Some incorporate adaptogens and nootropics, like Dromme, Tennyson, Three Spirits, Kava Haven and Gather, while others, such as Pathfinder, Dr. Zero Zero, Amethyst, and Pentire, simply taste fantastic. This category is on the verge of exploding with popularity!
- Bitter/Mixers/Syrups - Not only are these products wonderful in non-alcoholic recipes, they also excel in all drinks.
