There was a time when not drinking meant reluctantly accepting a Diet Coke or borderline flat soda water while everyone else ordered something infinitely more exciting.

Thankfully, those days are long gone.

Whether you’re sober-curious, California sober , taking a temporary pause from alcohol, or simply trying to avoid waking up with a headache after one too many spicy margaritas, there’s never been a better time to skip the booze.

In fact, nearly half of Americans don’t drink alcohol at all, and even those who do are drinking less, fueling an explosion of zero-proof beverages—including canned mocktails.

Gone are the days of boring sparkling water and syrupy concoctions that taste like nothing but sugar water.

Today’s canned nonalcoholic drinks include everything from sophisticated sparkling aperitifs and botanical spritzes to functional sodas packed with ingredients like prebiotics, adaptogens, and nootropics.

You no longer have to sacrifice flavor (or the fun of having something special in your hand) just because you’re skipping the alcohol.

These are the zero-proof canned drinks worth stocking in your fridge.
