Best mocktail recipes for Valentine’s day: the ultimate guide to booze-free wooing

When it comes to a healthy, happy relationship, it's the little things that mean the most. A note on the table, spontaneous flowers, a drink prepared as you come in the door. With Valentine's Day approaching (this year landing on a Friday), nothing could be more romantic than surprising your partner after a long week with a mocktail.

What is the best alcohol-free aperitif?

Why a mocktail and not a cocktail? Well, your partner may be wanting to carry on their Dry January streak, or perhaps you want a hangover-free Saturday to continue the celebrations into the weekend. Or maybe you and your loved one just want to try something different. Regardless of your reasoning, we've got the ultimate guide right here to the best mocktails for Valentine's Day.

A symbol of refined elegance and with good reason, the Martini melds crisp, herbal taste notes with citrus and olives. It’s the epitome of classic speakeasy culture.

Born from the belief that being non-alcoholic shouldn’t mean compromising on taste, Everleaf’s three expressions – Everleaf Forest, Everleaf Mountain and Everleaf Marine – offer layers of flavour to the moderate drinker.

An award-winning apertif

Award winning, you say? Since its launch, Everleaf has been recognised as the leader in taste in the non-alcoholic category, with numerous awards, including being listed as the No. 3 in the Top Selling & No. 2 Top Trending Non-Alcoholic Brands 2024 by Drinks International and Gold in Bartender’s Brand Award 2024.

As well as this, in 2023, Everleaf achieved B Corp status – a milestone moment in recognition of the brand’s commitment to connect and collaborate with nature, not compete. Everleaf was also winner of The Spirits Business Ethical Award 2023 in recognition of its commitment to sustainable practices.
