Love Champagne but not the alcohol? Non-Alcoholic Champagne (or SHAMpagne as I call it) is the answer! Just 2 ingredients it will satisfy your sparkling wine craving and everyone can have a glass.
Champagne, or Sparkling Wine, is delicious but if you’re trying to avoid alcohol, or have kids who want to be a part of the celebration, non-alcoholic champagne is the way to go. It’s easy to make with just 2 ingredients, the flavor tastes so much like the original – and everyone can enjoy it. It’s the perfect champagne alternative without using zero proof or alcohol-free sparkling wine. Serve this at special occasions and do cheers or make a toast the guilt-free way.
Ingredients needed
- White Grape Juice – this gives that grape flavor you expect from wine. You could also add some apple notes by using a bit of apple juice. White grapes are best because champagne is a pale yellow color (dark grape juice would not look right).
- Ginger Ale – this gives the bubbles you expect plus a little extra tangy flavor. You want your non-alcoholic sparkling wine to have that same flavor and ginger ale is what helps with that.

Expert Tip
Obviously SHAMpagne won’t taste exactly like the real thing, but it’s a great substitute if you’re avoiding alcohol. Serve this as soon as it’s made. And you can use this recipe to add to others that include alcohol-free wine (like my Non-Alcoholic Sangria or Mocktail Mimosa).
