Alcohol-free Mother's Day gifts | a spot of detox for all her favourite tastes!
Think for a moment how much fun we all lost to lockdowns. The closure of clubs. The grounding of holiday flights.
So many nights on so many dance floors...
And guess what?
Many a mum has not-so-distant memories of bleary nights out too! Clubbing days gone by all too quickly. Sometimes best forgotten. Other occasions - more fondly revisited to Robbie Williams tracks crooning from the kitchen!
With a crafty bottle of wine perhaps.
Mum's no fool! Make a careful selection of non-alcoholic tipple to match her tastes! |
Drinking was (quite likely) a large part of her youthful nights. While recent years have seen a spectacular range of boozy beverages made available alcohol-free.
Which means the style, flavour (and most of the vibe) is back! In quality, non-alcoholic versions of Mum's favourite tipples.
The trend away from trad booze
It's best not dwell on binge drinking habits of the 80s to late-00s! So many shades of hell have gladly gone out of fashion.
As to the modern habit of rounding off a stressful day with a couple of glasses of wine, well... there may actually be times those toxic days doth linger!
Let's look at a couple of different scenarios
- your mum doesn't bother with alcohol for whatever reason these days π
- signs of Mommy Wine Culture you'd rather not raise too precisely π¬
A variety of non-alcoholic beverages have taken supermarket shelves by storm. So your mum might regularly enjoy Zero % Gin and Tonics or 'Peroni & Pizza' evenings!
Gordons 0.0% gin makes non-alcoholic mixes almost identical to their source beverage |
A shift away from alcohol tends to increase in later life. . . the body finds hangovers less amusing.
There's simply less point with so much choice in shops and on bar taps.
And besides, it's actually boring to get drunk on yet another night - in or out - same as ever before.
On the other hand...
It's easy to say lucky are those who persist without problems! And chances are there's no particular worry with mum's wine sessions either.
Although if you do wish to gently raise a concern - a non-alcoholic Mother's Day gift might just be the best way.
(She'll know. And appreciate it.)
So let's look at the best non-alcoholic drinks for Mother's Day. To revive her nightclub style and feel the glory again!

Mother's Day Mocktails
2. Everleaf Forest | Crafted for Spritz drinkers And blended from a 'complex and bittersweet' range of botanicals. Including Orange, Vanilla and Saffron. This versatile mix also makes for an enjoyable aperitif over ice. And as the company is founded by a Conservation Biologist, you can be sure of the finest possible ingredients!
3. Punchy | Variety pack For cans that capture a sense of Holiday sunsets, romance and a dip in the pool! Exotic soft drinks rather than cocktail substitutes. The flavours are certainly enticing and may even invoke a few far off locations...
4. Sea Arch | Coastal Juniper Staying with something of a travel theme... this beautifully branded brew sees ginny juniper meet salty samphire. And the result is an original alternative to gin with a slightly nautical aroma. A refreshing twist over lemonade and ice, or check out their lively range of cocktail recipes.
5. Lyres | Coffee Originale A truly distinct and satisfying coffee liquor. Lovely neat over melting ice, or mixed with cola in typical nightclub style. For a more relaxing mood, there are cream liquor possibilities. Particularly delicious with vanilla soya milk (assuming appreciation from a sweet tooth!)
6. Thomson & Scott | Noughty Chardonnay A very stylish product with quality organic, vegan and low-sugar ingredients. Dry and crisp with lots of sparkle. Somewhere between Prosecco and Champagne for mouthfeel but check a few reviews to ensure a match with your mum's own tastes.
7. Three Spirit | Selection A few different moods to invoke here depending on the hour of day. Whether to energise, elevate or soothe Mum towards sleep. These botanical blends reflect distinct expertise and promise intense flavours. Check out the mood match for a perfect vibe, taste, style and texture.
8. Dry Drinker | Mother's Day gift packs An easy option if you're time-pressed and wish to make Mum feel celebrated... choose from a bunch of styles to suit her preference. (Just check their delivery arrangements for this weekend... DHL are featured partners but usually operate Mon-Fri).
9. Caleno | Dark & Spicy A tropical taste of holiday sunsets lurks within this spicy spirit! Add a fiesta feel to Mother's Day this year. This non-alcoholic tropical rum alternative is perfect with ginger ale and fresh lime. A lovely spiced, fruity whiff - mild enough to enjoy neat over ice.
10. Sipsmith | FreeGlider (0.5%) Sipsmith's flagship variety of non-alcoholic gin. A citrus zest takes the accent away from juniper on this occasion. So it's among their least 'gin-like' alternatives and lighter than other brands. Try their miniature gift set to sample a few versatile flavours or take their tasty mixology tips...
11. Nine Elms No 18 | Ruby Velven A rich digestif for any Mother's Day meal you may be planning. The complex blend overcomes references to Ribena, typical of similar products reviews. And beyond the dinner table focus, it's a versatile mixer for spritz scenarios.
12. Highball Alcohol-Free Cocktails Explore this bright and lively non-alcoholic range! Includes carefully crafted Mojito, pink G&T, Italian orange Spritz and other delicious mixes. Why not throw her a surprise party this Mothers Day?
On a bit of a budget this year?
There really are plenty of excellent non-alcoholic beverages to make a perfect Mother's Day experience - and not lose out to more exclusive presentations.
Why not compliment a card and flowers with some chocs (or a meal) and a few bottles of delicious ciders? Or a rather dependable (and perfectly tasty!) bottle of Nozeco or similar.
Delicious, alcohol-free options can be found at any large supermarket among other gift ideas. Maybe add an Old-School playlist to the evening too!
