Where to meet for alcohol-free cocktails: The curious cures for Brain Fogg

The curios, and definite must-try alcohol-free cocktails are now available at Mr Foggโ€™s Residence, Apothecary, Tavern & Gin Parlour, Botanical Tavern and Treehouse, Society of Exploration, City Tavern, Pawnbrokers, Hat Tavern and Gin Club…

Phileas Fogg has decided to start 2026 afresh with a curious collection of cures for the dreaded brain and aptly named Fogg, that he became all too familiar with during the busy festive period. The menu of four cocktails available at all Mr Fogg’s venues, features the same exotic ingredients that his guests are accustom to, but without the alcohol. Featuring bright, floral, fruity and citrus flavours for maximum enjoyment, without the impending morning brain โ€˜Foggโ€™.

Highlights include the fruity and floral A New Horizonย combining Everleaf Mountain non-alcoholic aperitif, basil, strawberry, lime, cranberry & pomegranate, foamer bitters and the Light Through the Fogg bringing together Seedlip Garden 108 distilled non-alcoholic spirit, Paragon Vetiver cordial, rhubarb, mint, cucumber, lime, Franklin & Sons Yuzu Soda

Where to meet for alcohol-free cocktails:

Control Room Bโ€™s The Power Down Project

A low-voltage, high-flavour takeover for January

This January, Control Room B enters Power Down Mode, a month-long recalibration where the bar lowers its electrical โ€œvoltageโ€ while elevating flavour through a fully alcohol-free cocktail menu. Instead of running on traditional power, the Control Room switches to a new energy source: botanical, nature-led spirits from Everleaf and Smiling Wolf. Throughout the takeover, the iconic 1950s switchgear and glowing dials soften into a warm, low-power glow, setting the tone for a calmer, cleaner start to the year.

Cocktails include Surge Spritz a refreshing and zesty combination of Everleaf Forest non-alcoholic aperitif, falernum & cucumber syrup, Nonsuch Hedgerow & Rose shrub and lemon juice, Franklin & Sons Yuzu Soda and the Toffee Triod which includes Smiling Wolf Non-Alcoholic Feel-Good Agave, salted caramel, butterscotch & popcorn syrup and saline solution for a rich and nutty sipper.

Cahoots

Cahootsโ€™ย Scoundrels Sober Adventure

After a season of festive mayhem, the Scoundrels have hung up their hooch and taken a vow of glorious, clear-headed sobriety! With spirits high (but the ABV decidedly low), they have set off on an outdoor expedition. Armed with knapsacks, jam-jars and suspiciously large coat pockets, theyโ€™ve been foraging hedgerows, pilfering from allotments, raiding victory gardens and picking from orchards across the Great British countryside. Crafted with Everleaf aperitifs, Seedlip spirits and their foraged finds, theyโ€™ve whipped up a line-up of booze-free tipples positively brimming with bright, aromatic and fresh flavours.

Cocktails include the citrusy and refreshing The Clear-Headed Crop featuringย Seedlip Spice 94 non-alcoholic spirit, Paragon Vetiver cordial, Franklin & Sons Yuzu Soda and The Orchard Pincher, a fresh and nutty coming together of Everleaf Forest non-alcoholic aperitif, basil, orgeat, lime, Franklin & Sons Orchard Apple & Pear Soda
