Some aperitif- and spritz-style non-alcoholic drinks include adaptogens such as lion's mane, saffron, L-theanine and reishi. Botanicals and nervine extracts are also used in descriptions to shape flavor and convey calming or mood-related effects.
Many options are described as sparkling or lightly carbonated. Hop water and several spritz/aperitif items are specifically called sparkling, while some canned drinks are noted as only lightly carbonated.
They’re often served chilled or over ice. Reviews and descriptions commonly note mixing them with fruit juices, ginger beer, or using them as cocktail/mocktail mixers.
Some items list 0% ABV, while several non-alcoholic beers are described as brewed to remain under 0.5% ABV.
