NON
Famed for its chic-packaged presence, NON drinks are an awesome alternative for natural wine lovers.
Coming in a heap of delectable flavour varieties, they also make a great picnic accompaniment.
Elevated Kombucha
While Kombucha has been around for a while, brands like Monceau are giving this gut-friendly beverage a modern twist. Check out their range of pét nat-inspired formulations that include flavours like blood orange and pear.
Thompson & Scott Noughty
Thomson & Scott have changed the game with their non-alcoholic take on sparkling wine that comes with all the bubbles and flavour, just sans the killer hangover.
Seedlip Spirits
Attention all G&T lovers! This non-alcoholic spirit ensures you can join in on the fun with your mates, all while getting a fresh start to the morning as they sleep off their headaches.
Simply add some lime or cucumbers and tonic water to a shot or two of Seedlip's spirits and you're good to go. Or, if you're not in the mood to mix yourself, grab one of their pre-mixed options.
Booze-Free Beer
If an ice-cold beer after a long, hot day is your usual respite, then fear not. Brands like Heaps Normal are pioneering new and innovative ways to make low-nonalcoholic beer... well, heaps normal.
Alternative Aperol Spritz
We wouldn't blame you for being sceptical of such a concept but Aussie brand Lyre's Italian Spirit is an ingenious (and low calorie) alternative to Aperol, for those who love a good spritz on the weekend.
Just mix it with a dash of non-alcoholic sparkling wine and some soda water and everyone else at the party will be none the wiser.
Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
Not only can the sugar in most cocktails make them pretty deadly (given they go down a little too easy), but the sweetness also contributes to dehydration which makes your hangover worse and can generally be an energy-killer.
Enter: Monday pre-mixed drinks. With a wide range of very chicly-packaged beverages, this Australian company bottle up your favourite cocktails with none of the alcohol or sugar. The result is a pretty tasty treat that your head will thank you for come Sunday morning.
We're particularly fans of the Dark & Stormy and the Classic Gin & Tonic flavours (duh).
