If you aren’t a total pro when it comes to handling hard liquors, you may be a little confused or hesitant to drink at parties. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back, because drinking isn’t just for the unshakable, it’s also for normal humans to whom three shots of tequila taste like death.
Five Least Alcoholic Drinks You Can Consume:
- Spitzers
- Vermouth Cocktails
- Beer Cocktails
- Mimosas and Other Sparkling Wine Cocktails
- Bitter Liqueur-based Drinks
Spitzers
If you have walked into a bar and all of your friends are going hard with their LIITs, you don’t have to be stressed. A spritzer, a combination of white wine, soda, and fruity/citric elements, comes with less than 12% ABV. They are also a absolute delight to have. Perfect for the summer.
Vermouth Cocktails
Vermouth cocktails
They are chic, classic, and stylish. Often consumed as an apéritif, Vermouth is a kind of fortified wine. If you consume it alone, it has about 20% ABV. But, vermouth-based cocktails, however, don’t exceed 10%. You won’t regret drinking them.
Beer Cocktails
It’s an obvious answer since beer is an extremely popular low alcoholic beverage and beer-based cocktails aren’t any different. Shandies and Micheladas are delicious and very light on your liver. You can have a bunch of them without worrying about blacking out.
Mimosas and Other Sparkling Wine Cocktails
Similar to white wine, sparkling wines are also quite gentle, especially the ones that contain prosecco. Any sparkling wine-based cocktail is refreshing and probably won’t make you doubt your life choices the next morning. They could be a little pricey but they’re worth it.
Bitter Liqueur-based Drinks
Liqueurs like Campari usually pack about 20% ABV when you consume them straight from the bottle. However, the cocktails dilute them much further. Any bitter liqueur-based drink, like an Americano or Negroni, is a safe choice for an amateur. They will also open up a huge window of new tastes in cocktails. Being experimental doesn’t have to cost you a hangover-free morning.
P.S.: If you intend to drink like a dozen of these, irrespective of their ABV, it will come back to haunt you, so don’t overdo it!
Summing Up
So now you know what to do when you are at a house party and don’t want to make a mess. Drinking should be a memorable experience that can give you memories for a lifetime. Make the most out of it by having these cocktails. Have a good one!
