THE LATEST
After the holidays, everyone seems to be pretty over alcohol, drinkers and non-drinkers alike. We’ve even seen a spike in the need for non-alcoholic or dry options at restaurants, events, and nightlife venues. January is a time for setting goals, wellness, focusing on you, and taking your time starting anew.
So, what better beverages to help you on your new goal than these delicious, refreshing, and 0.0% ABV options?! These are not your average juices and sodas, either! These Mocktails, canned sparkling beverages, and seltzers will keep your winter nights elevated while staying mindful.
Barbet Deep Dive
Barbet has been putting alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on the same playing field since their launch! All of their drinks have full-bodied flavour that you would find in a delicious cocktail (hold the spirits) and it’s such a luxurious sipping option, making reaching for 0% ABV the easiest decision.
Now, they’ve launched a brand new flavour to join their current line: Wild Card (tangy blood orange and electric calamansi with a flicker of hot jalapeño pepper), Light Wave (crunchy cucumber and sun soaked pineapple with a subtle smooch of lavender), and Love Bite (tart pink grapefruit and a cheeky bite of ginger with earthy juniper).
Deep Dive, the brand’s elevated fourth release, is a bold combination of rich white peach and bright yuzu, with a peppy hint of mint. The new flavour was developed alongside the community based on a consistent feedback loop with consumers. And, like Barbet’s initial three wildly popular flavours, a portion of proceeds from each can purchased goes to one of three incredible community non-profits.
Deep Dive is available on Barbet’s website and at select retailers in Ontario.
French Bloom
French Bloom is the perfect non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Available in a classic white and a rosé, and made from organic grapes and infused with natural extracts, it captures the joy of celebratory moments without the buzz.
This beverage delivers a light, crisp taste with a floral finish and is ideal for toasting special occasions or when you’re craving a glass of bubbly. Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) has event taken a minority stake in the bevvie!
Mocktails at Minami
With Dry January in full swing, Minami is offering a lineup of five innovative mocktails, offering a refined and creative way to embrace the month. Renowned for its bold and forward-thinking approach to Japanese dining, Minami extends this philosophy to its beverage program.
Crafted by Beverage Director Nick Meyer, these zero-proof creations promise the same elevated experience and attention to detail as the restaurant’s signature cocktails. The new mocktails are:
- BCC: Sobrii 0% “gin,” blackberry, cranberry, lemon tonic, lemon, cherry, egg white
- Big In Japan: Martini Vibrante, tonic, grapefruit soda, yuzu, chrysanthemum aroma
- Bumble & Spice: Monday 0% “whiskey,” ginger beer, spiced honey, lime

Heineken 0.0
While non-alcoholic options are increasingly popular, the perception that a night out must include alcohol still persists. Heineken is challenging those notions with their Heineken 0.0%, a refreshing non-alcoholic lager, brewed with a unique recipe for a distinct balanced taste, which now allows you to enjoy a Heineken® beer at any time of day.
Heineken 0.0% has a perfectly balanced taste with refreshing fruity notes and soft malty body. It’s double brewed, while alcohol is removed and blended with natural flavours.
Jukes – Sparkling Pinot Noir
For those of us who just love the ritual of pouring a glass of wine: Jukes non-alcoholic wine is a game-changer. Created by the award-winning sommelier Matthew Jukes, Jukes delivers the complexity and depth of traditional wine without the alcohol.
It’s perfect for those who want to reduce their alcohol intake without sacrificing the wine experience.
