West End hosts first alcohol-free cocktail trail launched by Club Soda


Londoners and visitors can kickstart the new year with the West End’s finest alcohol-free cocktails as they work their way around Club Soda’s Cocktail Trail – the biggest celebration of alcohol-free cocktails the capital has ever seen.

Launched by London’s mindful drinking specialist, the Club Soda Tasting Room & Shop, the alcohol-free Cocktail Trail sees a community of 20 Covent Garden and Soho restaurants and bars serving up a series of enticing cocktails, so you can still enjoy your favourite haunts whilst going dry this January.

Whether you sip on a Tempest at Swift Soho (No. 30 on the list of The World’s 50 Best Bars 2022), order a Botany Beauty at Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration, or indulge in The Yard at the newly opened Gura Gura, the roster of fantastic cocktails from the best and brightest of West End hospitality is the perfect illustration of the vibrancy of the alcohol-free market in the UK.

As the Trail’s host, The Tasting Room & Shop is kicking off the celebrations with a menu of cocktails that includes the mood-enhancing Sentia Sbagliato and the Velvet Asity (a clarified vegan milk punch/Jungle Bird riff using Everleaf Forest), created by expert mixologist Noah Villeneuve.

Other fantastic venues taking part include SOMA, The Lower Third, Nightjar Carnaby, Farzi Cafe, Sticks ‘n’ Sushi, The Lost Alpaca, 3 Henrietta Street, Barrio, NQ64, Ping Pong and KERB’s Seven Dials Market, ensuring there’s something for everyone – no matter your alcohol-free tipple of choice.

Throughout January, customers can find out more and plot their own Trail via the Club Soda website, which showcases the venues and their cocktails. Simply ask for the cocktail on arrival at your chosen venue – it couldn’t be simpler.

January doesn’t have to be blue this year – keep the celebrations going and toast to a clear-headed start to 2023!
