non-alcoholic
Contains no spirits
Non-alcoholic describes beverages that contain no alcohol or only trace amounts.
The term typically modifies drinks that have alcoholic counterparts: non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic wine, non-alcoholic cocktails.
A non-alcoholic bar serves drinks without spirits.
The category has expanded as "sober curious" culture grows: They're doing a non-alcoholic January.
