Baby Shower Drinks: Mocktails and 0.0% Sparkling Everyone Can Share

The best baby shower drinks look like part of the party, not a stand-in for the guest of honor: a mimosa bar, a pink Shirley Temple, a fruit spritz and a bottle of 0.0% sparkling for the toast. Here is a menu to make, the sparkling bottles that state 0.0% alcohol, how much to buy, and what to know if you’re hosting for someone else.

The shower drinks menu

Five drinks that look festive in a glass and take minutes to make, linked to the recipe where there is one. Make every one with a bottle labeled 0.0%: the recipes name ordinary non-alcoholic wines, so swap in one from our pregnancy-friendly shelf.

Pink, blue, or a reveal

Looking for a non-alcoholic champagne? Browse our non-alcoholic sparkling wines, or compare them in the best non-alcoholic champagne and sparkling wine. For a pregnancy, choose one that states 0.0%.

Choosing a sparkling: 0.0% matters

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises that no amount of alcohol is known to be safe in pregnancy, and that the safest choice is not to drink at all (ACOG’s FAQ on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders explains why). We sell non-alcoholic drinks, so we’re not neutral: we report that guidance and the producers’ labels, and decisions belong with the person and her clinician.

On a label, the number to look for is 0.0%:

• 0.0%: No alcohol detectable, or none was ever present. Every bottle named below states 0.0%.
• Under 0.5%: The legal limit for “non-alcoholic” in the US. It allows a trace of alcohol, so it is not the choice for a pregnancy.

There are two ways a sparkling wine gets to 0.0%:

What our pregnancy-friendly shelf checks

Every bottle on our pregnancy-friendly shelf is read before it is added. It must:

• state 0.0% on its label;
• publish a full ingredient list;
• contain no caffeine, hemp, adaptogens or functional botanicals;
• use no preservatives beyond sulfites or sorbate.

We can’t tell you whether a drink suits your pregnancy; that is a question for your doctor or midwife. The bottles below all come from that shelf.

How much to buy
