Before you come after me, running has been a hobby for decades, and it's a form of self-care, where I can just ~be~, and take time for myself. 

I first tried Little Saints at a friend's recommendation, and now I'm hooked. I like to crack one open and pour it over ice in a fancy glass; it actually gives cocktail vibes —  light, citrusy, and not too sweet. This is my go-to drink.

If you love spicy ginger, you'll love this non-alcoholic "mule." I add an extra squeeze of lime to make it punchier. The carbonation is very minimal, so don't expect a big fizz.

If you are dreaming of a margarita, this is the drink for you. Hear me out: Line the rim of your glass with tajín, then pour it over ice for the perfect "margarita" on the rocks.

My husband is a beer-lover, and this is the NA beer we always have on hand. Just enough hoppy flavor without the alcohol. Plus, a little protein. How do they do that? He's convinced this is a protein bar.

Tart, citrusy, not-too-sweet — this is everything you want in a mocktail. I muddle blackberries and pour it overtop for a summery drink.

You know what's classy? A Negroni. What's a Negroni, you ask? A blend of gin, red vermouth, and Campari, aka a verrrrrrry bitter bev. This faux-negroni comes in the cutest can and delivers those bittersweet flavors without the hangover.

If you love a hoppy beer, you'll love these. Even as someone who isn't a beer drinker, I love how refreshing these are. My favorite flavor is mango, but you can't go wrong with any of them. I take these to the beach almost every weekend.

The thing I miss most? A chilled rosé on a warm day with a cheese plate while I gossip with my friends. This is one of the closest NA wines I've found, and I love the low sugar content.

If you love botanical-infused beverages, this is for you. This can contains nootropics and adaptogens like reishi mushroom and L-Tryptophan (yup, like your turkey). It has notes of lavender, vanilla, and a little smokiness. Best served on your couch in your PJs.

Seedlip was one of the first NA spirits I ever tried, and I've been hooked ever since. I love how citrusy the Grove 42 is, and I love shaking it with a spoonful of orange marmalade and serving it over ice.

I'm a dirty martini-loving girlie, so when I want an NA alternative, I turn to Pentire shaken with olive brine and ice. It's classy, it's easy, and it's oh-so-briny.
