The holidays are a season of clinking glasses, glowing lights, and shared laughter—the time of year when every toast feels a little more meaningful. But more than ever, people are redefining what it means to celebrate. The modern holiday host isn’t just pouring wine or champagne; they’re shaking up zero-proof cocktails that bring the same flavor, flair, and festivity—without the alcohol.
That’s where Cut Above comes in. With our non-alcoholic spirits, you can create memorable, complex cocktails that fit every kind of holiday celebration—no hangovers, no compromises, just pure joy in a glass.
So whether you’re hosting a dinner party, ringing in the new year, or planning a cozy night in, these non-alcoholic cocktails will make your season feel just as spirited.
Sip the Season: Our Favorite Zero-Proof Creations
No holiday gathering feels complete without a punch bowl gleaming at the center of the table. Our Holiday Punch brings the sparkle and color that instantly puts everyone in a festive mood. Think of it as the drinkable version of your favorite holiday décor—bright, tangy, and bubbling with cheer. The combination of citrus and pomegranate creates that signature holiday red, while the effervescence gives it life. Serve it in a big glass bowl surrounded by sprigs of rosemary and fresh fruit, and you’ve got yourself a centerpiece that tastes as good as it looks.
This one’s for those slower, moodier nights—the kind when the lights are low and your playlist leans soulful. Notorious F.I.G. is a sophisticated zero-proof cocktail built on layers of flavor: the subtle smokiness of our non-alcoholic whiskey, the sweetness of fig, and a kiss of citrus. It’s rich without being heavy, perfect for pairing with dessert or serving as an after-dinner sipper. The name might make you smile, but the taste? That’s pure class. Pour it in a lowball glass with a halved fig and let it steal the scene.
While most holiday drinks lean into winter spices, Watermelon Punch brings an unexpected, refreshing twist. It’s bright, juicy, and a reminder that celebrations don’t need to follow the same recipe every year. Using our Agave Blanco Tequila alternative, it balances the sweetness of watermelon with the crisp zest of lime and the cooling touch of mint. It’s like sunshine in a glass—a perfect choice for those who live somewhere warm or just want to keep things light and fun. This cocktail doesn’t just quench your thirst; it lifts the whole mood of the party.
If your goal is to keep the energy high and the smiles constant, Party Punch is your go-to. A mix of our zero-proof Gin and Mezcal alternatives, this drink hits all the right notes: citrusy, fruity, and just a touch smoky. It’s designed for big gatherings—where friends keep refilling glasses and laughter bounces off the walls. What makes it shine is its versatility: you can batch it ahead, serve it from a punch bowl, or bottle it up for guests to take home. It’s more than a drink—it’s the kind of cocktail that turns a get-together into a memory.
The Magic of Non-Alcoholic Party Cocktails
There’s a reason non-alcoholic cocktails are taking center stage this holiday season. They’re not a substitute—they’re an evolution. Party hosts are realizing that guests want options that are inclusive, interesting, and delicious, whether they’re sober-curious, pacing themselves, or simply prefer to skip the alcohol.
A great party cocktail, after all, is about connection. It’s the shared moment of clinking glasses, the creativity behind each pour, and the ritual of mixing something beautiful. When those drinks are zero-proof, everyone can join in.
From elegant dinner pairings to punch bowls at family gatherings, non-alcoholic cocktails are proving that “festive” doesn’t need to mean “boozy.” With Cut Above, the art of mixology meets the joy of mindfulness—one beautiful glass at a time.

The Final Pour
At its core, the holidays are about connection—gathering, laughing, and savoring the moments that remind us what matters most. Non-alcoholic cocktails fit perfectly into that story. They offer warmth, depth, and celebration without the haze.
