With virtual pub quizzes, Zoom parties and “quarantinis” having become the new normal, many of us have become a dab hand at fixing our own drinks.

And without the discipline of a normal working routine, the gym and diarising “school nights” to lay off the booze, it’s far more tempting to have a glass, and then another one…

Combine that with warm temperatures and blue skies, and who wouldn’t argue that a cuppa loses its mojo when there’s the appealing option of a mojito?

But if you feel the need to call time on too much of a good thing, these low and no-alcohol alternatives put mindful drinking first, without compromising on flavour…

1. A ‘small’ beer

2. White wine spritzer

3. Vermouth with soda

4. Sparkling wine topped up with fruit juice

5. Alcohol-free wine

6. Non-alcoholic spirits

7. A light ABV Riesling

8. White port and tonic

9. Grown-up cordial

10. Alcohol-free cider
