Philters are non-alcoholic spirits for drinkers looking for an alternative to the high-ABV rums, mezcals, whiskeys, and other spirits they usually see on shelves. The brand is all about forging the same atmosphere and social aspect of drinking without the hangover and other harmful health effects. Philters is about creating a healthy lifestyle while enjoying a nice (NA) cocktail.

The Philters collection includes a non-alcoholic gin, mezcal, whiskey, and rum, each with a unique name that sounds like the spirit it’s meant to emulate. Jynn is a juniper-forward, floral, herbal spirit perfect for your favorite gin-based drinks. Mezkahl is a non-alcoholic take on a well-made mezcal’s classic, mellow, agave flavors. Wiski is an alternative to whiskey that’s known for its smoky, malty, complex flavor profile. Ruhm is Philters’ non-alcoholic take on a classic spiced rum with a ton of clove, cinnamon, and island spices.

If you're doing Dry January this year then you don't just have to stick to water and sodas all month -- you might want to look into some of the options available for non-alcoholic cocktails too.

While there are plenty of great drinks options which use ingredients like fruit juices, shrubs, and sodas, one great option for the cocktail lover is to look into non-alcoholic spirits. Options like Fluère Spiced Cane, a rum alternative, or Damrak Virgin, a gin alternative, are distilled to have the flavor and drinking qualities of a spirit but without the alcohol. That makes it dead easy to swap these into classic cocktails, so you can enjoy a classic drink without the booze.
