Taking a break from booze, or have made the choice to steer clear of alcohol altogether? You can still raise your glass this week (and all year long). Lexington has plenty of zero-proof offerings so you can keep up your social calendar without ordering soda and tea, again.

For those who choose not to booze, add one of these bars with mocktails, non-alcoholic beers, and more to your list.

Carson’s, 362 E. Main St.
Check out its Bev Bible, aka the drink menu, to find zero-proof pours including sangria, a bellini, and a mock-mosa. We love the Jalapeno Watermelon Margarita featuring watermelon puree, fresh orange juice, and muddled jalapeno.

Harvey’s, 200 W. Main St.
Sips so nice you won’t think twice about missing the booze. All drinks are made with fresh juices and house-made syrups.
Try the McAdams with fresh squeezed lime juice, cucumber, housemade rosemary syrup, and topped with club + lemon-lime sodas.

Lockbox, 167 W. Main St.
Its zero-proof cocktail list features refreshing beverages like the Instagrammable Pretty In Pink featuring cranberry, lime juice, vanilla syrup, rhubarb, and ginger beer.

Mirror Twin Brewing, 725 National Ave.
Sip on an Apple Ginger Moscow Mule made with apple cider, lime juice, and ginger beer.

OBC Kitchen, 3373 Tates Creek Rd.
From spicy margaritas to a smokey old-fashioned (made with tea), your taste buds won’t believe the difference.
