The Summerhill restaurant offers several color-coded non-alcoholic beverages, namely the pink, purple, and green drinks. According to bartender Kharis Ellison, the pink drink, made with coconut cream, cinnamon syrup, and hibiscus, is sweet, creamy, and fizzy. Those who prefer less sweetness, the purple drink is a nod to Thai Nam dok Anchan, which is made with butterfly pea tea. The floral notes are cut with makrut lime cordial, which balances out this mocktail.

The James Bond-themed bar in Glenwood Park has an extensive and creative selection of spirit-less drinks. Expect a range of cocktail classics like Paloma, Paper Plane, and Gimlet, which are made with Ritual Zero Proof spirits. Try the Slo Gin Fizz, sweetened with prickly pear instead of simple syrup, for a refreshing, silky sip.

At La Semilla, you’re in good hands with world-ranked bartender Orestes Cruz. While the cocktail menu includes two non-alcoholic options, don’t hesitate to ask for an off-menu mocktail inspired by one of the expertly crafted cocktails. Of the non-alcoholic options, the Pearl Island Iced Tea stands out with non-alcoholic Gnista Wormwood, barrel-aged cola syrup, orange rosemary aperitif, citrus juice, and soda. It’s a citrus-forward and slightly bitter drink that pairs perfectly with the fresh flavors of the vegan dishes.

Mehmush Saadat stocks one of the city’s largest selections of alternative spirits and non-alcoholic beverages at her stylish Kirkwood shop. Think RTDs like Dram adaptogenic CBD-infused sparkling waters and Free AF spritzes, as well as alcohol-free wines from Surely and Sovi and spirit alternatives from Spiritless, Monday, and Ritual.

Whoopsie's

Here’s an insider’s secret. If you simply glance over the menu here, you won’t find any mocktails. But according to co-owner and bartender Tim Faulkner, zero-proof drinks are always available. While there are several options, Faulkner is particularly proud of Whoopsie’s non-alcoholic French 75 — an impressive feat if you’re familiar with the cocktail’s boozy contents (gin, champagne, lemon juice, and simple syrup). Here, he swaps in Leitz Eins Zwei Zero sparkling rosé, which removes the alcohol after fermentation, and Winestillery’s Hyper Low Gin. The zero-proof gin is distilled and used as a concentrate in non-alcoholic beverages just like the French 75.

​​With Amethyst’s non-alcoholic Lemon Cucumber Serrano spirit, lime, and cane syrup, the Gemlet is bold and bright here, just like the maximalist, tropical decor at the Ponce City Market restaurant. For a refreshingly fizzy version, ask for a splash of club soda.

A cozy bar nestled behind a set of velvet curtains, Commune may be one of Atlanta’s best listening lounges. Beyond the curated wine list and snacks, the menu offers several mocktails worth trying. While the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni is a more than convincing riff (you won’t even notice the lack of a buzz), the staff recommends the Tilden Lacewing with its sweeter herbaceous notes.
