Few bars offer high quality alcohol-free drinks. Maybe you too are fed up with the same old thing. You meet your friends for a drink and the choice of alcohol-free drinks is very limited. You always end up with a gassy belly because there are no other options than soft drinks. Or, at best, the most basic form of non-alcoholic beer. We recommend alcohol-free drinks you can order in a bar to avoid soft drinks and alcohol.
Non-alcoholic drinks to order at a bar
If you are a customer of The Blue Dolphin Store, you already know that there are plenty of quality, fun, and flavourful non-alcoholic drinks for restaurants. So, if you are lucky and they are available, you can order the following drinks to avoid soft drinks and alcohol:
- Non-alcoholic beers: there are all types such as blondes, gluten-free, toasted, craft, IPAs, Radlers. They are a good option if you want a carbonated drink but without alcohol.
- Non-alcoholic wines: ideal to accompany lunches and dinners. They give you a similar experience to traditional wines and you save the inconvenience of alcohol.
- Alcohol-free vermouths: more and more non-alcoholic Martinis are seen in bars. It is a type of drink ideal for aperitifs.
- Alcohol-free spirits for cocktails: nothing better to enjoy the party than an alcohol-free gin and tonic made with real 0.0 gin. You can find the Tanqueray brand in bars and restaurants and we hope that in the future they will offer a greater variety of non-alcoholic spirits.
- Kombuchas and fresh juices: These are also good options for non-alcoholic drinks to order at a bar.

Don’t be shy: ask the bartender for your alcohol-free drink
Has it ever happened to you that when you ask a bar if they have non-alcoholic wine, they look at you as if you had asked them to bring you the moon, as if you had asked for a sandwich without bread or a latte without coffee? Unfortunately, many restaurateurs are still stuck in the past and are unaware of the quality and demand for non-alcoholic drinks. They are unawared they are losing customers, and sometimes, often, their mistake is to make the customer feel that they are asking for something crazy. Because the truth is that very few bars offer alcohol-free quality drinks.
Well, change that. If they raise an eyebrow at you when you ask for a glass of alcohol-free sparkling wine or vermouth, give it back to them by hinting at how outdated their menu is and how little they know about trends.
It is not you who are the weirdo, it is the bar or restaurant that should be up to date with what is on the market to satisfy the needs and whims of the customers who are, by the way, the ones who finance their business.
