More people, particularly young people, are opting to drink less or are cutting it out altogether. This change in habits has inspired a healthy industry of non-alcoholic distillates offering reasonable substitutes for gin, rum, and whisky to be stirred up in "mocktails".

Even if you've never gone on the wagon or taken an oath of sobriety, you may find non-alcoholic drinks surprisingly enjoyable. Here are five historical alcohol-free cocktails to try at home:

1. Parson's Special

Harry Craddock, the British barman who promoted American cocktail culture in London during the 1920s and '30s, presided over the American Bar at The Savoy Hotel. Craddock was known for serving the rich and famous hundreds of cocktail concoctions.

In his seminal compilation, The Savoy Cocktail Book, published in 1930, he offered a creamy fruit treat called the Parson's Special. The drink looks deceptively like a Brandy Alexander when served in a small old-fashioned glass.

Ingredients

• 240 ml freshly- squeezed orange juice

• 1 egg yolk

• 1-2 dashes of fresh grenadine

Method

Shake the juice, yolk and grenadine vigorously over ice. Strain into a small old- fashioned or rocks glass.

2. Keep Sober

Craddock also devised a long drink for customers abstaining from the popular Collinses, Rickeys and Highballs of the day. The Keep Sober appears in The Savoy Cocktail Book too. A rose-tinted, citrusy refreshment, it's a good alternative for gin-and-tonic lovers.

Ingredients

10 ml fresh grenadine

10 ml lemon syrup 150 ml tonic water

Method

Combine grenadine, syrup and water in an ice-filled highball glass. Stir with a spoon and serve.
