In celebration of Dry January, the now well-known month without alcohol, Paris is taking up the challenge. On Monday, January 26, 2026, the city will crown the best alcohol-free cocktail in the capital. For the past four years, Paris has been backing this initiative, encouraging residents to reflect on their alcohol consumption through various campaigns.
For the second time, Paris is hosting a competition for the city's best mocktail— dubbed “Le Pari(s) du sans alcool” — which recognizes a nightclub, bar, or club for its innovative non-alcoholic creations. To select the winner, the City of Paris has assembled a jury that includes members of the youth council as well as influential voices passionate about alcohol-free options, such as Maxime Musqua and Anna Toumazoff.
If you too feel like taking up the challenge, discover the Parisian bars that offer alcohol-free cocktails:
