Our favorite non-alcoholic Negronis, right in time for Negroni Week
Few cocktails are as iconic, or as requested, as the Negroni. Bitter, balanced, and undeniably stylish, it’s the drink that signals aperitivo hour like no other. But what if you want all that complexity without the alcohol?
First mixed in Florence in 1919 for Count Camillo Negroni, who asked a bartender to stiffen his Americano cocktail with gin, the Negroni quickly became a global classic. Its enduring popularity is easy to understand: equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, the drink offers a perfect trifecta of bitter, botanical, and sweet. In fact, the Negroni consistently ranks among the top 10 most-ordered cocktails in the world, with Google searches and bar menus surging every September during Negroni Week. And while the original packs a punch, many drinkers today are looking for that same bold flavor profile in a lighter, alcohol-free format.
Fortunately, today’s NA spirits world has delivered. Whether you’re looking for a ready-to-drink option or the perfect ingredients to stir one up at home, here are our favorite picks for enjoying a non-alcoholic Negroni in 2025.
Bright, citrusy, and beautifully bitter, Lapo’s comes pre-mixed so all you need is a rocks glass and an orange peel. Pour, sip, and you’re instantly transported to aperitivo hour in Florence—minus the alcohol.
Aplos Non-Alcoholic Mandora Negroni
Unwind with Aplos. This ready-to-drink non-alcoholic can is infused with lion’s mane, magnesium, and suntheanine, promoting feelings of calm and positivity. Crafted with mandora orange, quassia, sarsaparilla, and oakwood, it delivers a melody of bittersweet citrus in every sip.
Curious Elixir No. 1 Non-Alcoholic Negroni
A non-alcoholic, adaptogenic ode to a Negroni. With a bold, bitter, and herbaceous profile, it features gentian and rhodiola to help naturally unwind.
Curious Elixir No. 1 is ready-to-pour. Serve over a large ice cube in a rocks glass and garnish with an orange slice or twist.
The cult-favorite St. Agrestis Phony Negroni is made in Brooklyn but tastes like it belongs on a piazza in Italy. With bold citrus and spice layered over a bitter backbone, it’s one of the closest ready-to-drink non-alc Negronis to the original. Bonus: it comes in gorgeous single-serve bottles, perfect for parties or gifting.
If you want to play bartender, Pathfinder is your secret weapon. This amaro-style spirit, distilled from hemp, is herbal, complex, and slightly sweet—the kind of ingredient that turns a simple drink into a conversation piece. Use it as the backbone of your homemade Negroni and get ready for raised eyebrows (in a good way).
