Whether you're sober curious, doing a dry month, cutting back for good, or just want the best alcohol alternative to drink that isn't alcohol, you've come to the right place. The options have never been better, & our tea-based alcohol alternatives are some of the most creative, flavourful & satisfying drinks in our collection.
These aren't compromise drinks. They're not "well at least it's something." They're cold-brewed, cocktail-inspired, & made to be shaken, stirred, & served over ice with a proper garnish. Here are our top picks.
1. Mojito Tea
Green tea | Inspired by: Mojito
Our bestselling blend & one of our most iconic mocktail teas. Mojio Tea is green tea with peppermint, lime, & lemongrass.

Herbal tea | Inspired by: A celebratory glass of fizz
Champagne Supernova Tea is our pick for anyone after that same fizzy, celebratory feeling without the actual bubbly. A fruity herbal blend with apple, orange peel & a dash of warming spice, it was created for our Manchester store & has a genuine sparkle to it, quite literally, thanks to a sprinkle of edible glitter. Cold brew it in lemonade or sparkling water, & you've got a proper toast-worthy drink for anyone who's not drinking.

How To Make Any Of These As A Proper Mocktail
The method is the same for every blend above, cold brew in your chosen liquid for 4–8 hours with our Cold Brew Tea Bottle, then serve over ice with a garnish.
For a more cocktail-style presentation: shake your cold brew over ice in a cocktail shaker, double strain into a glass, & garnish properly. It makes a huge difference to how impressive it looks and feels.
