What Are Non-Alcoholic Botanical Drinks?

Updated April 2026.

Non-alcoholic botanical drinks are house English for zero-proof botanical bottles, not IBA. IBA Dry Martini already 60+10 gin. IBA Margarita already 50/20/15 tequila. A 0% bottle is not 5.148. Read the label. Count the spirit ounces if you add any.
