1. Spicy Hot Wings + Zero-Proof Moscow Mule 🌶️🍹
Hot wings are a classic for a reason—spicy, sticky, and just the right amount of messy. They need a drink that can keep up and cool you down. Enter the alcohol-free Moscow Mule: crisp, fizzy, and irresistibly refreshing.
How They Pair:
The zero-proof Moscow Mule’s zesty ginger kick and fresh lime perfectly cut through the heat and richness of hot wings. The bubbles keep your palate refreshed after every fiery bite, and the icy chill is a welcome reprieve from all that spicy goodness. Plus, holding that frosty mug just feels right, doesn’t it?
Perfect for balancing the heat and keeping the vibes fun and laid-back.

2. Juicy Burgers + Mockapolitan 🍔🍸
Burgers are the cornerstone of any epic Super Bowl party—cheesy, savory, and with just the right amount of customizable toppings. But pairing a rich, hearty burger with a zero-proof Cosmopolitan (aka, the Mockapolitan)? That’s next-level flavor genius.
How They Pair:
The tart cranberry-lime combo brightens up your burger without overpowering it, cutting through the richness of melted cheese, savory beef, and toppings. Bold, refreshing, and just fancy enough to feel special, the Mockapolitan is the perfect sidekick for burgers of all varieties.

Sip, bite, repeat. Cheers to burger perfection!
3. Loaded Nachos + Lemon Drop (Non-Alcoholic Gin Version) 🧀🍋🍸
Nachos are the ultimate snacking MVP—a mountain of melted cheese, crunchy chips, and all the toppings. But they can get heavy quickly. That’s where a citrusy Lemon Drop mocktail with zero-proof gin swoops in, offering a crisp, zingy refreshment that balances all that cheesy decadence.
How They Pair:
The bite of lemon juice and subtle botanical notes in alcohol-free gin add an elevated complexity to the snacky, savory goodness of nachos. Bonus? The tart, sweet balance of the Lemon Drop brings out the freshness in toppings like pico de gallo, jalapeños, and guac. It’s the perfect palate-cleanser between every crunchy, gooey bite.
Zero-Proof Lemon Drop Recipe:
- 1 oz zero-proof gin (such as Cut Above)
- 1 oz Lemon Drop Mocktail Syrup
- 2 oz Lemon Seltzer Water
- Ice cubes
- Sugar for rimming the glass
- Lemon wheel for garnish
How to make it:
- Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass, then dip the rim in sugar.
- In a shaker, combine the zero-proof gin, syrup, water, and ice. Shake until chilled.
- Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a lemon wheel.
Tart, vibrant, and ready to score major points against nachos’ hearty flavors.
4. Cheesy Pizza + Non-Alcoholic Negroni 🍕✨🍹
Pizza and beer might be the traditional choice, but if you want to upgrade your game day spread, a zero-proof Negroni is the way to go. This Italian-inspired mocktail, made with non-alcoholic spirits, is bold, bitter, and all kinds of chic. The perfect pairing for a classic pizza slice.
How They Pair:
Pizza brings all those cheesy, saucy, carb-loaded vibes we love, and the Negroni counters it brilliantly with bitter orange, herbal depth, and just the right touch of sweetness. It’s a high-low pairing that feels elevated while staying approachable—ideal for taking your pizza night up a notch.
Because pizza night deserves a touch of sophistication, even on Super Bowl Sunday.
