The nonalcoholic drinking landscape can be overwhelming. How do you make a not-boring mocktail? What’s up with nonalcoholic champagne? And what actually tastes good? Here’s what we do know: Opting to cut out alcohol shouldn’t make your life more stressful. So we asked four HQ'rs to do the ultimate taste-test, before sharing our favorite nonalcoholic drinks and fun accessories to enjoy all month (and year) long. Cheers.

This mocktail has just three ingredients: carbonated water, lemon extract, and ginger extract. Which means you’ll feel just as good after as you did while you were sipping. If you’re looking for a flavor that’s like a warm hug, check out their Apple Cinnamon flavor, in partnership with Magnolia Bakery. ($33/12 cans, Aura Bora)

Consider this zero-sugar bubbly seltzer the opposite of a hangover. It’s made with minimal, plant-based ingredients and low-potency THC doses. It comes in flavors like tropical mango, juicy watermelon, squeeze of lime, and bright berry. PS: If you’re looking for something a little stronger, they also sell seltzers with slightly higher dosages. ($16.99+/4-pack, Delta)

After discovering Arlow at a happy hour event, one editor now swears by their red, white, and rosé varieties to fuel her yap sessions. Each bottle has half the amount of alcohol as a regular bottle. This is a great option for anyone looking to cut back on wine without giving it up entirely. ($66/3-bottle bundle, Arlow)

Cann considers themselves a "social tonic" and we couldn't agree more. One of our HQ'rs taste-tested their Lemon Lavendar flavor for the first time and hasn't stopped talking about it. They have a wide range of flavors and sizes that contain hemp-derived THC and CBD to help extend that social battery and fuel a better night's sleep. This is a great option for anyone looking for a buzz without feeling it the next day. (12-pack/$45+, Total Wines)

Show up with these sleek, alcohol-free drinks and you’ll be the favorite guest at your next gathering. Ghia’s cult-favorite original aperitif has notes of florals, earthy botanicals, and a hint of citrus. It’s on the bitter side, with no added sugar, so no sugar hangovers here. The brand’s new berry aperitif is bold and tart, so you can mix up your palate throughout the night. ($75, Ghia)

This brand is all about "longer nights, clearer mornings, [and] fuller conversations," and frankly, we have no notes. They have everything from a crisp blanc to a bubbly red to a canned sparkling rose you can take anywhere. The two-pack of sparkling rose and brut make for a perfect housewarming gift in the new year (or anytime, really). Plus, if you shop five or more products, you can unlock exclusive discounts. ($24.99+, Total Wines)

Each month, you’ll get a variety pack of booze-free craft cocktails delivered right to your doorstep. Inspired by classic cocktails, the drinks are made with organic ingredients and are free of refined sugar and caffeine. Herbs and adaptogens in the mix can provide stress relief and help to build immunity, as an added bonus. ($36+/month, Curious Elixirs)

If you or anyone you know is hosting watch parties this awards season, this variety pack has a little something for everyone. We’re talking Tres Citrus Margarita, Perfect Paloma, Muddled Berry Mojito, and Mischievious Mule. Each can has only three grams of sugar, and added electrolytes for a little extra boost. Even better? They come ready to enjoy. ($19.59, Remix)

This nonalcoholic gin is made from a blend of juniper, natural botanicals, citrus, and spices. It’s handcrafted in small batches from a distillery in Southern California. Just swap it in for any recipe that calls for gin. ($40, Monday)

This seltzer has 5 milligrams of THC and 10 milligrams of CBD in each can, so you can relax and enjoy without any alcohol involved. The black currant flavor is deliciously sweet and tart at the same time and is made with all-natural fruit juices and zero artificial flavors. Bring these to your next party, and you’ll still be feeling great the next day. ($19.99/6-pack, Cycling Frog)

It’s bubblier, tastier, and completely delalcoholized. It’s made with 100% chardonnay grapes that are sustainably sourced in Spain. After the brand’s exclusive vacuum distillation process, all that’s left is a bright and zesty brut- or prosecco-alternative, sans alc. Serve cold and top it off with raspberries for an extra treat. ($70, Society De La Rassi)

Each box comes with four canned mocktails in party-ready flavors, like Capri Spritz and Havana Twist. Ingredients include organic lime juice, cardamom, clove, decaffeinated teas, and natural mint flavors. Plus, they don’t include artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or refined sugars. You can serve them straight up or mix them with other beverages. ($19.96/4 cans, Mocktail Club)

Aka, everything we’re going for in the new year. These adaptogen drinks use ashwagandha and L-theanine to help alleviate stress, clear your mind, and keep you focused — all while tasting great. They have zero caffeine, alcohol, or added sugars but are jam-packed with flavor. ($39.99, Amazon)

With flavors like Berry Lemonade and Pink Lady Apple, these kombuchas are just the thing when you want a refreshing pick-me-up. Plus, thanks to probiotics and natural antioxidants found in the fermented tea, you’ll also contribute to your gut health each time you drink one. ($49.95/12-pack, Health-Ade)

If you’re going to serve something over ice, make it extra cute with these floral ice cube molds. The set comes with two rose molds, two daisy molds, and two lotus molds. Each cube will also melt slowly, so you won’t have to worry about diluting your (nonalcoholic) bev. ($44.65/set of 6, Williams Sonoma)

Whiskey not required. Keep these in your freezer, and when you’re ready to start sipping, add one to your mocktail. The soapstone material won’t impact the flavor of your drink, and they come in a velvet pouch for stylish storage. ($7.99, Amazon)

Because no one wants to accidentally sip from someone else’s cup, especially during cold and flu season. They’re also stain-resistant, absorbent, and will fit on most stemmed glasses, from wine glasses to champagne flutes. (Unknown, Amazon)

Whether you want to use it to carry your nonalcoholic drinks to a party, or gift it along with a bottle (or two) for your friend, you really can’t go wrong. This tote has an insulated interior to ensure your drinks stay cold for hours. Plus, its interior divider is padded to keep bottles separated and avoid clinking or shattering. Bonus points for its thick comfy strap for easy transport. ($20.99, Target)
