Located in the heart of downtown, The Carlin is an American coastal cuisine destination featuring a lively main-floor bar and a sophisticated underground speakeasy. Known for its elevated cocktails, The Carlin also offers refined zero-proof options that deliver as much depth and complexity as their spirited counterparts. 

What we tried: 

• N/Agroni Spritz: A bold and bitter aperitif-style drink featuring Giffard Sirop, Seedlip Spice 94, Fee Brothers lemon bitters, and soda. 

• Simpler Thyme: A bright and refreshing blend of lavender, thyme, lemon, and soda. 

Bonus: Try the mocktails at The Carlin’s sister restaurant, Aurum, for another impressive selection of nonalcoholic options. 

This modern yet cozy bistro is a favorite among Breckenridge locals and visitors alike thanks to its contemporary American cuisine and fantastic happy hour—including an impressive lineup of zero-proof options. Blue River Bistro’s mocktails highlight fresh fruits, aromatic herbs, and a touch of mixology magic. 

What we tried: 

• Ginger Spice: A warming, slightly spiced blend of ginger shrub, lemon, simple syrup, soda, and cinnamon. 

• Passionfruit Pineapple Express: A tropical-inspired drink featuring passionfruit, pineapple, lemon, simple syrup, and egg white for a smooth, frothy texture. 

• Berry No-jito: A refreshing twist on the classic mojito with strawberry, lime, mint, agave, and soda. 

A hidden gem in Breckenridge, located in a historic lodging establishment, Prospector is known for its warm, rustic ambiance and expertly crafted drinks. Their mocktails are no exception, offering a perfect balance of flavor and creativity that make for a delightful alcohol-free experience.

What we tried:

• Mia’s Cider: A cozy, spiced blend of pomegranate, cider, vanilla, chai syrup, and soda water.
• Sophia’s Sipper: A floral and citrusy combination of lavender, lemon, soda, and a luscious lavender foam.
