Redemption bars

Alcohol-free bars popped up across the UK this year, such as The Brink in Liverpool, Sobar in Nottingham and Redemptionbar in London. Meanwhile, London's Artesian voted the best bar in the world for a third year, is behind the trend where head bartender Alex Kratena says, "I feel nonalcoholic cocktails are in the same position where vegetables were years back. "It used to be that a dish was constructed around a piece of meat, and then chefs became interested in stretching their creativity by experimenting more heavily with vegetables. These days, you see vegetarian tasting menus at Michelin three-star restaurants."

Top restaurants including Hawksmoor, Dishoom and Caravan in London have also included non-alcoholic options on their cocktail menus. The Metropolitan in Glasgow serves a 'No-jito' while Island Bar in Birmingham offers Prohibition Iced Teas. These cocktails are cheaper, hangover-free and taste just as good.
