Founded in 2021 by Giovanni Cozzi and his son Alessandro, Dr Zero Zero makes Italian-inspired non-alcoholic aperitivo and digestivo drinks. Crafted in Italy with botanical extracts and citrus, its AmarNo brings the bitter herbal character of an after-dinner amaro, while AperZero recreates the bright, bittersweet aperitivo tradition before a meal. The company works with Liquorificio Italia in Trieste and has grown to more than 350 retail, restaurant, and bar placements across five locations.
St. AgrestisFrom Italian immigrant family traditions to a Greenpoint, Brooklyn distillery, St. Agrestis makes hand-crafted non-alcoholic cocktails rooted in classic aperitivo culture. Founded by brothers Louis and Matt Catizone with Steven DeAngelo, the company became the first to produce amaro in New York City and is best known for its Phony Negroni. Everything is developed, produced, and bottled in-house using old-world methods and real botanicals, a process behind the line’s first-ever non-alcoholic Platinum and Best in Show awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.BROOKLYN, NY
SoiréeCreated by Margaret Josephs and her fellow founders, Soirée makes lightly sparkling, alcohol-free mocktails designed to keep non-drinkers in the party. Its four flavors use real juices and recognizable ingredients while keeping sugar and calories low, and they can be enjoyed straight or mixed with a spirit.
DIRTY VIRGOFounded by New York City friends James and John, DIRTY VIRGO makes nonalcoholic virgin cocktails designed for drinking less without giving up the ritual of a night out. Its low-calorie, low-sugar drinks are enhanced with electrolytes, while the brand’s irreverent “Virgins Have More Fun” identity turns abstaining from alcohol into the joke—and the point.
