Trader Joe’s may have a cult-favorite wine section—remember the good old days when Two Buck Chuck actually cost $2?—but their alcohol-free drinks deserve just as much attention. And with Dry January in full swing, now is the time to make sure your pantry is stocked with delicious juices, sparkling waters, teas, and mocktail ingredients so you can whet your whistle without catching a buzz. Of course, these non-alcoholic options are great to keep on hand all year long, too. Whether you’re just trying to cut down on drinking, consider yourself sober curious, or have fully cut alcohol out of your life, these Trader Joe’s drinks are worth picking up next time you head to the store. And with seasonal sips cycling in and out throughout the year, you’re sure to find new and exciting N.A. options on every visit. Want to make your booze-free drink even more fun? Consider serving it out of a stylish glass or adding frozen fruit as a garnish. You won’t miss the bar at all.
1. French Market Sparkling Berry Lemonade
This sparkling lemonade makes for a fruity—and equally bubbly—alternative to champagne. It’s light, effervescent, and has just the right amount of strawberry flavor without being too sweet. But if this berry flavor isn’t for you, they also sell sparkling plain lemonade, pink lemonade, and limeade. No matter the flavor, I suggest serving this out of a flute or coupe glass to really replicate that sparkling wine effect.
2. Triple Ginger Brew
If you like your sparkling beverages more on the spicy side, Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger Brew will be right up your alley. The ginger flavor packs quite a punch, but the addition of cane sugar and honey keeps it from being too over-the-top.
3. Sparkling Elderberry + Pomegranate Apple Cider Vinegar Beverage
Don’t let the addition of apple cider vinegar scare you away—these canned drinks are a delight even if you don’t love that harsh flavor. Available in Elderberry + Pomegranate, Lemon + Strawberry, and Ginger + Lemon, you’re sure to find one that suits your personal palate.
4. Lemon Elderflower Soda
Spritz girlies, this one’s for you! These sparkling sodas are packed with lemony goodness and just the right amount of elderflower (the predominant flavor in St. Germain liqueur, a favorite for spritzes). Top your glass with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for an extra fancy touch.
5. Tangerine Probiotic Sparkling Beverage
Fans of gut-healthy sodas like Olipop and Poppi will love Trader Joe’s new probiotic sparkling beverages. Available in Tangerine and Ginger + Lemon, these fizzy drinks feel like a little treat without any of the guilt.
6. Cold Pressed Pineapple Juice
Pineapple juice is a favorite mixer at most bars—you can pair it with tequila, vodka, or rum, or use it in place of orange juice in a mimosa—but it’s also delicious on its own. This cold-pressed option from Trader Joe’s can be enjoyed straight from the bottle, but I love pouring it into a fun cocktail glass and topping it with sparkling water to create a tropical-inspired mocktail.
7. Sparkling Pomegranate Punch Beverage
I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for drinks that look pretty and taste good, and this sparkling pomegranate punch ticks both boxes. I was initially drawn to it because of the cute, illustrated package, but the flavors are what keep me coming back for more. It’s bubbly and filled with bright fruity flavors, including pomegranate, pineapple, orange, and apple.
8. To the Power of Seven Purple Organic Juice Blend
Yes, the name is a mouthful, but don’t let that deter you from trying this delightfully complex fruit juice blend. Notes of tart cherry, pomegranate, black mulberry, red grape, cranberry, blueberry, and even purple carrot all come together to create a sip that’s surprising and sweet.
9. Raspberry Lime Sparkling Water
No list of alcohol-free drinks would be complete without at least one flavored sparkling water. While Trader Joe’s does sell their seltzers in cans, I’m partial to these oversized bottles that I can sip on throughout the day. I never leave the store without at least one bottle of the raspberry lime flavor.
10. Sparkling Strawberry Juice Beverage
This sparkling strawberry juice is another item I initially bought because of the cute package—what can I say, I’m easily influenced—but it quickly became one of my go-to Trader Joe’s drinks. It hits that perfect sweet spot (pun intended) of feeling a little indulgent without being overly sugary.
