According to a 2024 report, the global non-alcoholic beverage market is experiencing rapid growth, and the demand for spirit alternatives is surging, which begs the question: is there a non-alcoholic drink that tastes like rum? The answer is a resounding yes, thanks to both innovative zero-proof spirits and creative DIY options that replicate the rich, warm, and tropical notes of traditional rum.

According to a 2023 YouGov survey, nearly half of UK adults were actively trying to reduce their alcohol intake, contributing to the soaring popularity of mindful drinking options. This movement has brought attention to a critical question: is zero proof really alcohol-free, or do these beverages contain trace amounts of alcohol?

According to Drinkaware, many 'alcohol-free' drinks in the UK may contain a small amount of alcohol up to 0.05% ABV, a nuance that highlights the critical distinction between the terms non-alcoholic and alcohol-free. This subtle, yet significant, difference is often misunderstood by consumers navigating the growing market of low and no-alcohol beverages.
