It’s no secret that Austin has its fair share of craft cocktail destinations and local breweries scattered around the city. While the ample selection comes in handy for a little buzz, some days call for refreshing drinks sans alcohol. There are many reasons a person wouldn't have to drink actual alcohol.
This is Eater’s guide for excellent mocktails that are sure to please in Austin. These creative nonalcoholic cocktails go beyond simple sodas, juices, or water, ranging from Topo Chico-based sodas at Holy Roller to a fall concoction at Houndstooth Coffee to drinking vinegars at Sway. Leave without a hangover.
For other booze-free drinks, explore aguas frescas, coffee, and milkshakes. For boozy drinks, scope out the city’s essential bars and hot new ones. Plus there are Austin’s iconic drinks.
If a favorite mocktail destination is missing, let Eater know in the comments or over on the tipline.
