10 Creative Nonalcoholic Cocktail Destinations in Asheville
Whether Dry January or sober curious, Asheville has a bar, restaurant, or brewery serving booze-free drinks.
To its well-earned reputation as Beer City, Asheville has diversified with local, craft-made wine, cider, and spirits. Even so, the city’s bars, restaurants, and bottle shops have made room for the explosive growth of nonalcoholic beer, wine, and spirits, and urged their mixologists to go beyond the tired cranberry juice and club soda and dream up intoxicating cocktails minus intoxication. From Dry January to Sober October and beyond, here are ten Asheville places that offer zero-alcohol but 100 percent delicious ABV-free beverages.
Since launching with two flavors of craft-made NA ginger beer in 2018, Devil’s Foot Beverage Company has steadily expanded its alcohol-free brands, production, and distribution. Collaborations with local breweries produced cocktail-inspired, zero-alcohol canned drinks like the Dark & Stormy with Highlands and NA Negroni with Burial Beer. In addition to stocking over 40 bottles of North Carolina-made spirits behind the bar, the Mule Tasting Room has Devil’s Foot beverages on tap, NA beer, and mocktail versions of house cocktails in its manufacturing facility.
