Let’s be honest - not everyone wants to end the night with a buzz (or a hangover). Luckily, gone are the days when “not drinking” meant being stuck with a sad orange juice at the bar. There's a new wave of zero-proof cocktails, or as mixologists like to call them, spirit-free serves, making rounds around Mumbai. Unlike the usual mocktails, these drinks are way more interesting than they are. They are made the same way as cocktails, but they are just sober, without the alcohol. And this list includes places in Mumbai that serve these sober cocktails.

Here's A List Of Places Serving Sober Cocktails In Mumbai

Burma Burma

Burma Burma's jumping on the zero-proof wave, and they're doing it with a Burmese twist. Their new menu, created in collaboration with award-winning mixologist Avinash Kapoli, is purely craft work, but minus the alcohol. There's umami-rich sips like the Laphet Lush (made with fermented tea leaves) and the tropical Burma Sour, layered with jaggery, tamarind, and kaffir lime. Every drink is built like a proper cocktail, without the hangover.

O Pedro

Leave it up to O Pedro to make sober drinking actually fun! Their zero-proof list doesn’t just skip the alcohol; it’s actually made completely from scratch to offer that same excitement as their cocktails. Try Pedro’s Pear Punch, a light mix of pear, basil juice, and clarified almond milk, or Pep It Up Patrao, a Goan-style blend that has bloody mary, margarita, orange citrate, roasted bell pepper, blackberry, and spice. With that in hand, you won’t miss the spirit here at all.

At Smoke House Deli’s Colaba outlet, the sober cocktail menu is anything but basic.

Bandra Born

At Bandra Born, the zero-proof culture is treated like an art form. They play with fermentation, spice, and creative techniques to build flavour and depth without relying on spirits. Once you have their drinks like the Kokum Spritz and Fermented Pineapple Highball, you'll know what we mean.

Starbucks Reserve

Starbucks has entered the zero-proof era, and its Fort outlet is where you need to be to experience it. There you'll have bold drinks like the Espresso Martini (with cherry vanilla syrup and a hint of orange), Gin Coco Botanica (a tropical mix of coconut water and citrus), and Jamaican Rum Stardust (spiced, citrusy, and finished with smoked star anise). There's even a Reserve Nitro Cold Brew Ale that you'll thoroughly enjoy.

Veranda

At Veranda, there's one zero-proof cocktail that blew our minds — their Guava Berry. It blends ripe guava with lime and a house blend of five spices, along with passionfruit that keeps things tangy. It's bold and not heavy, like a tropical refresher to have on your next brunch when others are having a mimosa.

Slink & Bardot

At Slink & Bardot, the people behind the bar are more into ingredients like turmeric, finger root, and mustard, giving their drinks that same earthy bite that alcohol usually adds. There’s even a zero-proof take on their signature Paanch, layered with citrus and spice. Here, you would willingly want to swap between the cocktail and sober versions.

Try the Not a Negroni, made with an in-house mix of herbs, spices, botanicals, and bitters, or the Cold Americano, a twist on the classic that has grapefruit, cold brew, orange cordial, lime, and tonic.
