Scotch & Rye
Scotch & Rye has received countless raving reviews for its menus which feature everything from burgers, quesadillas, and loaded fries to haggis popcorn, nachos, and ribs. But the drinks deserve a mention, too.

Cafe One
Are you thinking about where to enjoy non-alcoholic cocktails in Inverness? Cafe One has also got you covered.
Priced from £3.30 to £4.50, there are three options available for those of you after a cocktail without the booze. They include a cranberry mojito, a passion fruit mojito, and an apple fizz.
If you’re peckish, the range of food on offer is sure to impress just as much. I would recommend opting for one of the pasta or seafood dishes.

The White House
One of Inverness’ most well-known food and drink establishments is arguably The White House.
The venue is well-known for the quality and presentation of its food and the team’s expertise in crafting and presenting their own in-house and classic range of cocktails.
But those after an alcohol-free concoction should fear not, for there are plenty to choose from on The White House’s drinks menu. Each one costs £6.50.

One of the customer reviews on the website of The Kitchen Brasserie reads: “Excellent service. Fraser made us the best pineapple mocktails. Ask him what he can make for you! Helpful and attentive, cheery and fun to chat with.”
So, you can rest assured that if The Kitchen Brasserie is on your radar for your next food and drink outing the team knows how to satisfy those of you going booze-free.

Mangrove
In terms of the drinks offering, Mangrove is a BYOB Indian restaurant, so customers can bring their own alcohol to enjoy alongside their meals with a £2 corkage fee per person.
Because they do not sell alcohol, there are plenty of alcohol-free cocktails available for you to request – or perhaps you could let your server know your favourite ingredients and they can create a drink around that.

Torrish at Ness Walk
Like Cafe One, guests dining at Torrish at Ness Walk can expect three different booze-free cocktails up for grabs – all of which sound equally as tasty and refreshing.
The ‘Highland Sunset’ features pineapple, orange, and grenadine, while the ‘Feragaia – a 0% ABV spirit distilled in Fife – Gimlet’ boasts Feragaia 0%, mint, lime, and sugar.
If a ‘Shirley Temple’ is what you’re after, its ingredients include rose lemonade, ginger ale, and grenadine.
Address: 12 Ness Walk, Inverness IV3 5SQ
Blackfriars
Blackfriars is perfect for a multitude of occasions, whether you fancy a quick drink, a celebratory meal with friends, or a relaxing weekend away.

And be sure to request if the bar team can whip up a tempting alcohol-free cocktail for you to enjoy alongside your meal.
