My friend sits at the bar in total frustration while he orders a virgin pina colada. He longs for the flavor and taste of dark rum that a real cocktail delivers, but settles for the virgin style, since his diabetes prevents him from consuming alcohol.

Can dieters, diabetics and people restricted from drinking alcohol, really find non alcoholic beverages that deliver the entire alcohol flavoring? Indeed they can!!! Best of all, you can purchase alcohol free flavors like cordials and liqueurs that bring back some of the most popular flavors like: dark rum, amaretto, Kaluha type coffee liqueurs and Irish Cream. This article will reveal how to enjoy the tastes of a mojito, pina colada or coffee and amaretto with none of the carbs, none of the calories and best of all, none of the alcohol.

Before we get into it more, let’s start with a basic overview of what we actually mean by the description we call “non alcoholic beverages”. Plain and simple, a non-alcoholic beverage is a drink which does not include any alcohol. Non-alcoholic mixed cocktails include: punches, “virgin cocktails”, or “mocktails”, and are often drank by kids, individuals with custom, tradition or religion restrictions to alcohol consumption, recovering alcoholics. Basically, it includes everyone wanting to enjoy alcohol flavoring with no alcohol.

Now that we understand what we mean by non alcoholic beverages, let’s take a look at some examples of what is available today when you search for non-alcoholic beverages. Examples include Shirley Temples, Virgin Mary, and virgin-style Piña Coladas. The category includes drinks that traditionally have no trace of alcohol such as sodas, juices, and sparkling ciders. It also includes drinks that have undergone an alcohol removal process such as non-alcoholic beers and dealcoholized wines. Non-alcoholic beer can contain a small amount of alcohol (the exact percentage varies by country), so purchasers of non-alcoholic beer in some US states must be at least 21.

We can now get back to the question; can you find non alcoholic beverages that deliver all the flavoring and none of the alcohol? The answer is yes. There are basically three ways to get the entire alcohol flavoring with zero alcohol: 1. Syrups. 2. Flavor Concentrates. 3. Flavor Drops. Extracts are excluded since they typically have alcohol.

We will cover them one at a time. Syrups are typically sugar based. While they deliver the entire alcohol flavoring, they should be avoided by anyone dieting or on a low sugar diet. Flavor concentrates and flavor drops are really the same thing. A natural flavor concentrate comes in the form of flavor drops to deliver the flavor concentrate.

Flavor concentrates come in natural, natural and artificial (NA) and artificial. There is really nothing wrong with NA or artificial if you can’t find natural. Natural flavor concentrates are the best choice, when they have 0 carbs and 0 calories. Most of the syrups, flavor drops and flavor concentrates carry a wide range of alcohol flavors for you to choose from.
We mentioned the more popular flavors earlier in the article. Dark rum is the most popular flavor drop. Dark rum flavoring lets you enjoy the real flavor of some of the most popular dinks available, such as rum and coke, mojito and pina coladas. You can even enjoy your favorite coffee cordial or liqueurs. Take coffee, espresso or cappuccino and add amaretto, Irish Crème or Kalua type flavoring concentrate. You can even mix an amaretto with caramel flavor drop to make a Carmaletto coffee that makes a great Italian after dinner drink.

Let’s wrap up this article up focusing on natural alcohol free flavor concentrates and natural flavor drops. Now you can order a non alcoholic beverage and add your own alcohol flavor drops of choice. That takes a virgin cocktail up 10 notches, when it comes to true flavoring. You won’t get drunk from it, but you will swear you are drinking the real McCoy! Give them a taste.
