Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Kits to Give This Holiday: 2026 Canadian Gift Guide

02 Nov 2026 0 Comments
Bark & Bitter’s 2026 Canadian gift guide to non-alcoholic cocktail kits: Novara Aperitivo, Honestly Aromatic Bitters and Remarkable Sparkling Solution with a vintage holiday fawn, lights and a Christmas tree

A cocktail kit takes the guesswork out of holiday gifting: the bottles, the recipe and sometimes a few tasty extras arrive together, so whoever opens the kit can make something delicious right away.

In this guide, we share a roundup of some of our favourite cocktail kits from across Canada available this holiday season, featuring Bark & Bitter staples in a variety of drinks suitable for cocktail lovers of all shapes and sizes. The twist? Every kit below comes from a Canadian shop, and every one is non-alcoholic. These kits include Novara Aperitivo, bitters and Remarkable Sparkling Solution.

We don’t earn a commission on anything here; we’re pointing you to Canadian shops that put our bottles to good use, to help make your holiday shopping easy this season. Happy shopping!

For the Negroni lover

Start strong with a few recommendations featuring our most favourite cocktail. All three options below are built with Novara Aperitivo at their core, so the difference in kits between retailers comes down to the additional ingredients they’re paired with. Got a bottle and looking for a recipe to start with? We suggest checking out our Phony Negroni recipe.

Negroni Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Bundle, Drink Santé (Calgary, AB): $141.97

It includes Free Spirits Gin, Novara Aperitivo and NOA Sweet Vermouth, the three parts of a classic Negroni. It’s the straightforward pick for someone who already knows the drink and wants to make it their way. Available from DrinkSante.ca

Negroni Bundle, Mocktails.ca (Vancouver, BC): $153.40

It pairs Novara Aperitivo with Free Spirits The Spirit of Gin and Undone This Is Not Red Vermouth. If you’re choosing between this and the Drink Santé bundle, the vermouth is the difference. Available from Mocktails.ca

Non-Alcoholic Negroni Sbagliato Set, Cocktail Emporium (Toronto, ON): $118

Inside this kit you’ll find Novara Aperitivo, Roots Divino Rosso, a four-pack of Gruvi Dry Secco and dehydrated orange wheels. The Sbagliato swaps gin for sparkling wine, so it’s lighter than a stirred Negroni, and the four-pack of non-alcoholic bubbly makes it the one to bring to a party. The set doesn’t come in a gift box, so plan to wrap it. Available from CocktailEmporium.com

For the spritz drinker

Both of these winter spritz kits are built on Novara with a Canadian cranberry syrup. Our Novara Spritz recipe is a good one to tuck in with either.

Made in Canada Winter Spritz Ingredient Set, Cocktail Emporium (Toronto, ON): $85

It holds Novara Aperitivo, Jolly Cut Organic Sumac & Cranberry Syrup from Prince Edward County, Ontario, a four-pack of Gruvi Dry Secco and dehydrated lemon wheels. The listing includes the recipe. Like the Sbagliato set, it doesn’t come in a gift box. Available from CocktailEmporium.com

Non-Alcoholic Winter Spritz Cocktail Kit, Foodie Pages (Toronto, ON): $110

It includes Novara Aperitivo, Remarkable Sparkling Solution, KWE Cocktail Cranberry & Fir Syrup from an Indigenous-owned Canadian maker, Eatable Black Truffle & Charcoal Salt Popcorn and a recipe card. It comes packaged for gifting, so it’s the one to pick if you want something ready to hand over. Available from FoodiePages.ca

For the whisky drinker

These three options take on the Old Fashioned, and each is finished with Honestly Aromatic Bitters, which won Best Cocktail Ingredient at the 2024 World Alcohol-Free Awards. Two or three dashes are all a drink needs.

Old Fashioned Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Bundle, Drink Santé (Calgary, AB): $83.98

It pairs Free Spirits Bourbon with Honestly Aromatic Bitters, which makes it the simplest kit here: add a little maple syrup, an orange peel and ice, and they’ve got a very Canadian Old Fashioned. Available from DrinkSante.ca

New Fashioned Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Bundle, Drink Santé (Calgary, AB): $76.98 (on sale from $106.98)

Sylva Orchard is one of our favourite new NA spirit finds for 2026, and this kit swaps the bourbon at the core of an Old Fashioned for an aged fruit-and-barley spirit while keeping the Honestly Aromatic Bitters for someone who’d like a different take on the classic. Available from DrinkSante.ca

This kit includes Free Spirits Bourbon, Honestly Aromatic Bitters, and Drømme Calm, a functional non-alcoholic spirit made with a blend of adaptogens and nootropics (including ashwagandha root extract, L-theanine and lion’s mane mushroom). Available from DrinkSante.ca

Before you order

  • Prices are in Canadian dollars and were current when we published (November 2026). All information is subject to change, so best to check the retailer’s site directly and confirm.
  • Kits sell out through December, and each shop sets its own holiday shipping cutoffs. Order early if it needs to arrive by Christmas.
  • Not looking to spring for an entire kit? For gifts from our own shop, and to grab a bottle on its own, see our non-alcoholic gift guide.

The short version

A Negroni lover will be happy with either Negroni bundle. For a party, pick the Negroni Sbagliato Set. If you want something ready to hand over, go with the Foodie Pages Winter Spritz Cocktail Kit. For a whisky drinker, the Old Fashioned Bundle is the easiest place to start.
