What Is St. Agrestis?
St. Agrestis is a Brooklyn-based producer known for botanical spirits, aperitifs, bitters, and cocktails inspired by classic drinking culture.
The brand says it produces its beverages in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, drawing on old-world methods and ingredients including herbs, spices, roots, seeds, and citrus. Its non-alcoholic collection extends that philosophy into sophisticated zero-proof cocktails for the modern drinker.
Rather than creating mocktails that simply taste like juice or soda, St. Agrestis focuses on recreating the structure and drinking experience of classic cocktails.
That makes the collection especially appealing to people searching for:
- Non-alcoholic cocktails
- Zero-proof cocktails
- Premium mocktails
- Non-alcoholic Negroni
- Alcohol-free aperitifs
- Bitter non-alcoholic drinks
- Ready-to-drink mocktails
- Sophisticated alcohol-free cocktails

St. Agrestis Non-Alcoholic Phony Negroni
The St. Agrestis Phony Negroni is the centerpiece of the brand's non-alcoholic collection.
It's a ready-to-serve interpretation of the classic Negroni, built around juniper, citrus, florals, herbs, bitterness, and carbonation.
St. Agrestis says the Phony Negroni contains 30 real, raw, non-GMO organic botanicals from five continents, with three broad flavor categories: floral, citrus, and bitter.
The result is a sophisticated non-alcoholic cocktail with a familiar Negroni-style profile.
Phony Negroni Tasting Notes
Juniper • Orange Peel • Herbs • Citrus • Bitterness • Slight Sweetness
The balance between bitter and sweet is particularly important. Instead of tasting like a sugary mocktail, Phony Negroni is designed around the bitter, botanical character that Negroni drinkers expect.

A Non-Alcoholic Negroni Without Dealcoholized Spirits
One of the most interesting things about St. Agrestis Phony Negroni is how it is made.
It isn't simply an alcoholic Negroni that has been dealcoholized.
St. Agrestis says it developed a proprietary process inspired by more than a decade of spirits-making experience to create the drink without relying on a dealcoholized spirit. The goal is to preserve the flavor, aroma, color, and mouthfeel associated with a proper cocktail.
This distinction gives Phony Negroni a unique place in the non-alcoholic cocktail market.
What Does Phony Negroni Taste Like?
If you enjoy traditional Negronis, Italian aperitifs, or bitter cocktails, Phony Negroni is a natural place to start.
Its flavor profile combines:
Juniper
Juniper provides a distinctive botanical character reminiscent of gin.
Orange Peel
Citrus contributes brightness and helps balance the bitter components.
Florals
Floral botanicals create additional aromatic complexity.
Bitterness
The bitter backbone gives the drink the character expected from a Negroni.
Carbonation
A subtle amount of carbonation contributes freshness and mouthfeel.
The finished cocktail is 0.0% ABV according to the product listing on Non-Alcoholic-Wine.com.
St. Agrestis Phony White Negroni
For something lighter and brighter, explore the St. Agrestis Phony White Negroni.
The White Negroni takes inspiration from the classic White Negroni cocktail while maintaining St. Agrestis's signature emphasis on botanical complexity and bitter aperitif character.
It's an excellent choice for drinkers who want to move beyond the darker, richer profile of a traditional Negroni.

St. Agrestis Amaro Falso

It's designed around the same broad flavor territory that makes amaro so appealing:
Herbal • Bitter • Botanical • Citrus • Complex

St. Agrestis Non-Alcoholic Cocktails for Entertaining
Hosting guests with different drinking preferences can be challenging.
Instead of creating separate drinks for everyone, serve St. Agrestis alongside traditional cocktails and wine.
The Phony Negroni can be served in the same type of glass, with the same orange garnish, and during the same part of the meal.
Your guests don't have to feel like they're drinking something completely separate.
They're simply choosing a different cocktail.
A Better Alternative to Sweet Mocktails
Many traditional mocktails are built around:

That can be delicious, but it isn't always what cocktail lovers want.
St. Agrestis takes another approach:
Botanicals + Citrus + Bitterness + Herbs + Texture
This creates a much more grown-up flavor profile.
If you find most non-alcoholic drinks too sweet, St. Agrestis is a particularly compelling brand to explore.

St. Agrestis vs. Traditional Negroni

Juniper → Gin-like botanical character
Citrus → Brightness
Florals → Aromatic complexity
Bitter botanicals → Negroni character

The result is not merely a watered-down Negroni.
It's a purpose-built non-alcoholic cocktail.
