Zero-Alcohol, Full Flavour: Drinks That Still Bring the Fun
Zero-Proof, All the Flavour
I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a stickler when it comes to flavour — I want depth, complexity and a proper finish. And the non-alcoholic cocktails I tried on board delivered exactly that.
Take the London dry-style spirit — botanical, crisp, mixed with tonic, and finished with a twist of citrus. It’s so refreshing, and it reminds me of everything I love about a classic G&T, minus the alcohol. The perfect partner for an afternoon on the deck or as a for a pre-dinner drink as you peruse the menu.
Then there’s the dark cane spirit mixed with ginger beer. Think of it like a zero-alcohol Dark & Stormy — rich, warming, and packed with character.
These aren’t just token options. They’re proper, grown-up drinks that look the part, taste amazing, and make you feel like you’re right in the moment.
It’s About Choice
One of the best things about relaxing and having a good time is deciding what to sip. I’m a big believer that everyone should feel included when it comes to a round of drinks — and that’s exactly what Princess delivers. The zero, and low-alcohol range isn’t just for the non-drinkers — it’s for anyone who wants a brilliant drink, minus the buzz.
You can start your night with something refreshing light and botanical, then maybe have a cocktail or wine later. It’s up to you! It’s all about balance, and on holiday, that choice is everything.
I know it’s easy to just order what you always order (I’m sometimes guilty of that) but next time you see the mocktail menu — give it a proper look and maybe change it up a bit. It adds to the excitement of cruising. You never know, you might just find your new favourite!
