13 zero-proof drinks to sip on this summer, as picked by experts

Muro Bengaluru’s signature 0 Garibaldi

If you’ve been eyeing a sober-curious lifestyle but couldn't bring yourself to skip the booze during the chill of winter, summer might be just the sweetest spot to test the waters. The time has come to slurp on drinks that run long, icy, and are built without heat or a hangover in sight. Across India, bartenders are dialing up zero-proof cocktails with as much deliberation as their spirited siblings and, frankly, there’s no better season to explore sober territory.

0 Garibaldi, Muro, Bengaluru

Muro serves a 0 Garibaldi made with a specially distilled Campari that has 20% of its alcohol removed, creating a rich, non-boozy concentrate. This is mixed together with fresh orange juice and charged with $N_2O$ in a siphon, giving it a creamy, fluffy texture.

The result is a creative iteration on the classic Garibaldi, balancing familiar bitter-sweet flavors without the alcohol burn. Perfectly airy for Bengaluru’s summer heat.
