Whether you’re looking for Dry January mocktails or new ideas for nonalcoholic cocktails, there’s no need to give up complex flavors. In this episode, Joe Gitter demonstrates how to build nonalcoholic cocktails using everyday grocery ingredients – tea, bitters, and carbonation – instead of just swapping in alcohol-free spirits. Learn how to add body, texture, and savory notes to create satisfying zero-proof drinks that stand up on their own.

(I’m in the Leelanau Peninsula right now😂)
'America's Test Kitchen' chef, Detroit native Elle Simone Scott, has died
Much appreciated!!
North American Cocktail lol.
Why is the coconut water pinkish?!?! I've even consumed that brand and it's always clear/milky NO PINK…..so confused because I want to try to remake these…..
🧡🧡🧡
I love the idea of nonalcoholic cocktails, but you lost me at coconut water. I find coconut absolutely vile. I've stopped using products that started using palm oil because of the coconutty after taste. 🤢
Great video!
…just drink cranberry juice and club soda. Squeeze of lime, if you like.
Tea infuser and dried herbs in my cabinet are my go to NA cocktail flavoring kit
Allergic to coconut what else can I use
Wow,great recipes
Thank u for my dry January!!!

I used to enjoy tonic water until I realized it gave me a migraine every time I drank it.
A NA cocktail is just beyond useless. Its simply flavored / sweetened water.
I like the videos. Quick question, is there a way to tell when a garnish is for show verse when it should be placed into the drink?
Would love some unsweetened ideas for those trying to limit sugar
Love me some tonic water. Not a fan of the fever tree brand tho. But tonic water and lychee syrup makes a lovely cocktail. Garnish with a few lychees and voila!
These are wonderful!
I’m trying to imagine one or more of these ideas as suitable for a ketogenic diet: has anyone tried homemade allulose syrup instead of simple syrup? Is there any lower sugar coconut water (probably not)?
Wow great flavor ideas for us whom miss the flavor taste but not the affect thanks to all the great folks make America test kitchen a special treat for us the home cook.

I appreciate these NA cocktail videos!
