Every Double Gold Drinks Winner at the Zero Proof Choice Awards 2025

The Daily Pour is gearing up for the return of the Zero Proof Choice Awards, a celebration of the best in non-alcoholic and functional drinks, comprising spirit, wine, beer, ready-to-drink, hemp and non-hemp categories. The Awards are a one-stop shop for recognizing the breadth and depth of the market, which has handily surpassed $1 billion in value over the past year.

Never in history have there been so many nonalcoholic alternatives available on shelves — and never has it been more important to spotlight the best of the best.

Below, find the seven drinks recognized with a prestigious Double Gold award at last year’s ceremony. If you think that your brand is up to the task, click here to learn more about the 2026 Zero Proof Awards, including how to submit a beverage for consideration.

Opius Albedo

Opius is a Belgian distillery founded in Ghent that creates handcrafted non-alcoholic elixirs inspired by ancient alchemical texts. Albedo is their Double Gold winner and most celebrated expression. Made with fennel seed, juniper, cardamom, cloves, and star anise through a meticulous triple-distillation process developed by master distiller Prof. Dr. Sas, it delivers an intense, anise-forward profile with spiced herbal depth and a subtly bitter finish. Each small batch of around 200 bottles is made by hand, and the result is genuinely unlike anything else in the NA spirits category, complex enough to sip neat over ice or use as a building block for sophisticated zero-proof cocktails. The only spirit to earn a Double Gold at the inaugural Zero Proof Choice Awards, with every judge on the panel voting it exceptional.

Oddbird Presence

Oddbird was founded in Sweden in 2013 by family therapist Moa Gürbüzer, who witnessed firsthand the damage alcohol causes in families and set out to change the category from the inside, making wines so good that choosing non-alcoholic never feels like a compromise. Presence is their standout still white wine: a 100% organic blend of five aromatic varietals, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Viognier, Sylvaner, and Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from Alsace and Provence and aged 12 months before the alcohol is gently removed. The result is an expressive, food-friendly white that opens with a huge floral bouquet, bursts with tropical fruit and pink grapefruit on the palate, and finishes with crisp minerality and a touch of sea salt. Widely considered one of the best non-alcoholic still white wines available anywhere.

Mash Gang Lesser Evil Stout

Mash Gang is the UK’s most unapologetically bold non-alcoholic brewery, born from a homebrewing experiment during the pandemic and built on a simple manifesto: no shortcuts, no stripped-out flavor, just real beer brewed the hard way. Unlike most NA beers that are dealcoholized after the fact, Mash Gang brews specifically for low-ABV from the start, using uniquely-sourced yeast strains and a mash profile engineered for body and depth. Lesser Evil is their cherry chocolate stout, a rich, velvety pour layered with roasted malt, sweet dark fruit, and smooth cocoa that drinks like a dessert in a can. It recently won Gold at the World Beer Cup, the only UK brewery to medal, cementing Mash Gang’s place at the top of the global NA beer game.

Edna’s Mezcalita

Edna’s Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Co. is an Alberta-based brand created by award-winning mixologist Nick Devine, who spent 25 years in the bar and restaurant industry watching non-alcoholic options get overlooked, then decided to fix it. Their lineup of all-natural, premium RTD cocktails is crafted with authentic spirit extracts and real ingredients, designed to drink equally well straight from the can over ice or used as a mixer. The Mezcalita took Double Gold at the 2025 Zero Proof Choice Awards, delivering the smoky, complex character of mezcal in a perfectly balanced, zero-proof cocktail format. Now stocked in all 526 Whole Foods locations nationwide, Edna’s is one of the fastest-growing NA RTD brands in North America.

Zing Zang Dill Pickle

Zing Zang is America’s #1 Bloody Mary mix brand, a cult favorite that’s been behind bar carts and brunch spreads since the 1990s, beloved by bartenders and home entertainers alike for its rich blend of real tomato juice, seven vegetable juices, bold spices, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. The Dill Pickle Bloody Mary Mix is their boldest, most talked-about innovation yet: a briny, tangy twist on the classic that blends the crisp, savory depth of real dill pickles into their iconic base for a Bloody Mary that’s genuinely next-level. It’s great as a mixer, but equally satisfying as a standalone non-alcoholic drink, sharp, complex, and completely craveable. If you’ve ever loved a good pickle, this is the Bloody Mary mix you didn’t know you needed.

Per Se Hibiscus Marg

Per Se is a woman-owned, alcohol-free craft cocktail brand on a mission to prove that non-alcoholic drinks can be genuinely sophisticated, no bland seltzers, no watery approximations, just real ingredients and elevated flavor. Their drinks are built by layering juice, tea, herbs, and spices, and every can sports a sleek matte-black label that looks as bar-quality as it tastes. The Hibiscus Margarita is a non-carbonated stunner that blends pomegranate’s tart depth with floral hibiscus, a warming kick of cinnamon and sage, and all the structure of a proper cocktail, without a drop of alcohol. It’s the kind of drink that makes people do a double-take when they find out there’s no booze in it.

Stursi Reign

Stursi is a sister-founded, mixologist-crafted zero-proof cocktail brand built on a deceptively simple promise: flavor comes first, always. Unlike many NA brands that lean on adaptogens to create a “buzz,” Stursi skips the plant extracts entirely and focuses instead on bold, complex cocktail experiences that happen to be alcohol-free and safe for everyone. Reign is their tropical flagship, lush pineapple, ruby red grapefruit, bright citrus, and warm autumn spices brought together with a whisper of fennel and a bittersweet finish that lingers beautifully. It won at the 2025 Zero Proof Choice Awards, and it’s now the official non-alcoholic cocktail of Chesapeake Arena in Baltimore, a fitting venue for a drink this crowd-pleasing.
