Let’s admit it: After back-to-back nights of too many pints, your liver begs for a break. But giving up alcohol for a night, a month or even for life shouldn’t limit a night out. So what’s a social butterfly to imbibe? Learning how to make non alcoholic cocktails could be the answer.

Ariel Sanecki, mixologist at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland, has the answer. Sanecki recently won the honor of representing Ireland at the 8th World Championship in Mixing Non-Alcoholic Cocktails this summer. Here, Sanecki presents a slightly edited version of his winning submission, the equal-parts sweet-and-tangy Dark Fantasy (he substitutes Mattoni Sparkling Water with regular soda water). Master the recipe at home and clue in bartenders at your favorite pub. Other teetotalers, temporary and permanent, will thank you for it.
