"Brown explains that no- and low-alcohol options should get just as much consideration as your standard cocktails these days. "People are drinking less, with the recent Gallup Poll stating that only 54% of Americans drink alcohol, a 30-year low," he notes. Additionally, he reminds us that many who drink alcohol also enjoy alcohol-free options, adding that "some data suggests over 90% of people who drink non-alcoholic products also drink alcohol.""
"It's a particularly good option for guests who might want a drink or two but don't want anything too hard, as it allows them to alternate between cocktails with alcohol in them and non-alcoholic drinks. These days, there are so many good no-alcohol options that you can get creative with; you'd be missing out if you didn't provide some."
No- and low-alcohol beverage options should receive equal consideration alongside standard cocktails at cocktail parties. Drinking rates have declined, with a Gallup Poll showing only 54% of Americans drink alcohol, a 30-year low. Many people who consume alcohol also enjoy non-alcoholic products, with some data suggesting over 90% overlap. Offering alcohol-free choices enables guests to alternate between stronger cocktails and lighter beverages, accommodating those who want a drink but prefer less alcohol. Popular choices include non-alcoholic beers from macro and craft breweries and creative mocktails, making it easy to offer appealing alternatives.
