5 New Non-Alc Drinks to Power Your Sober(ish) October

Why You Need More Than Just Willpower

If you’re aiming for Sober (or Sober-ish) October, you don’t need pep talks, you need a plan. Because 6pm still rolls around, the day’s still been a lot, and the ritual still calls. We get it. You don’t miss alcohol as much as you miss the moment.

A simple weekly plan plus a fridge stocked with alcohol-free drinks that feel adult, taste incredible, and keep your mornings clear? Game changer.

We’ve just added five new beauties to help you swap the habit without losing the pleasure.

1. Avec FLOWSTATE Mango Spritzer

Bright, tropical, and calming

De-alcoholised Sauv Blanc meets juicy mango, fine bubbles, and botanicals. Infused with L-theanine for calm focus and magnesium glycinate for nervous system balance.

• Serve: Very chilled in a flute or coupe

• Pair with: Prawn tacos with lime & coriander, feta-mint salad, mango-coconut tart, burrata

2. Clausthaler Dry Hopped Non-Alcoholic Beer

Malty, balanced, and classic

German precision meets Cascade hops. Amber in the glass, caramel mid-palate, citrus lift, and a crisp, dry finish. Proper beer character—none of the aftermath.

• Serve: Chilled in a pint glass

• Pair with: Buffalo wings, burgers, or a meat pie

3. Dayse Drift

Citrusy, herbaceous, and calming

Bright yuzu and native lemon myrtle meet a clean hop snap. Almost gin-like complexity. Infused with L-theanine and passionflower to help you switch off.

• Serve: Cold in a tumbler

• Pair with: Netflix and no guilt

4. Moo Brew Notto Blotto Sparkling Hop Water

Dry, hoppy, and very crushable

Zero alcohol, carbs, or calories. All hop attitude. Tropi-citrus notes, a candied nose, and crisp pale-ale bitterness. Beer feel, minus beer fog.

• Serve: Chilled in a tumbler or straight from the can

• Pair with: Chicken salad or a Banh Mi

5. Tread Softly Everything Except Lemon Sorbet Prosecco

Zesty, refreshing, and crisp

Made from Pinot Noir grapes with the alcohol gently removed. Lemon-sorbet sparkle, tangy acidity, and sunshine-in-a-glass vibes.

• Serve: Cold in a wine glass

• Pair with: Caprese salad, bruschetta, hard cheese, or a fruit tart
