10 Non-Alcoholic Drinks for a Full EPL Saturday
EPL Saturday is a commitment.
Not a match, not ninety minutes, a full day. In Nigeria, a proper EPL Saturday starts before noon; someone is already checking injury news, group chats are already running predictions, and it does not end until the final whistle of the evening fixture somewhere after 7pm. In between, there are multiple games, multiple conversations, plates of food arriving and disappearing, and a drinks table that needs to survive the full stretch.
Not everyone at that table is drinking alcohol. Some people are not drinking this weekend. Some have somewhere to be after. Some are fasting, some are training, some simply prefer it. The question is whether they get a drink that is worth having, or they spend the day with a bottle of malt they did not choose.
This list answers that question. Every drink below is available on BottleKing. All of them belong on a proper EPL Saturday table.
1. Royal Club Bitter Lemon — ₦2,000
Start here: Royal Club Bitter Lemon is the non-alcoholic drink for people who want something sharp and deliberate in their glass from kickoff.
The bitter lemon profile is citrus-forward, gently carbonated, with a clean quinine edge that cuts through the noise of a full matchday in a way that something sweet doesn't. It is refreshing without being sugary, and it holds up across multiple games without fatiguing the palate. Buy it cold, serve it over ice, and it stays interesting from the 3pm kickoff to the final whistle.
At ₦2,000, it is also the most accessible premium option on this list. Stock several.
Best for: The guest who wants something dry and sharp from the first game.
2. Royal Club Ginger Ale — ₦2,000
Same price point as the Bitter Lemon, entirely different drinking experience.
Royal Club Ginger Ale is the session drink of the non-alcoholic table light, gently spiced, easy across several hours without ever becoming a chore. The ginger flavour is real but restrained; the carbonation is crisp. It pairs with whatever food is on the table without competing with it, and it is the drink that quietly disappears fastest because nobody notices they are halfway through their third bottle.
Keep both Royal Club options available and let guests rotate. The pairing over a full Saturday is genuinely good.
Best for: Long sessions, food pairings, anyone who wants something easy across five hours of football.
3. San Pellegrino Natural Aranciata Rossa — ₦1,500
San Pellegrino's Aranciata Rossa is a blood orange sparkling, and it is one of the most visually striking drinks on any table it appears on.
The deep reddish-orange colour in a glass over ice looks intentional in a way that most soft drinks don't. The flavour is real Italian blood orange: slightly tart, genuinely fruity, with San Pellegrino's fine mineral carbonation carrying it through the glass. It is not sweet in the way Nigerian soft drinks are sweet. It is balanced, adult, and worth paying attention to.
At ₦1,500 on the current promotion, it is an exceptional value. This is the drink that gets noticed before it gets tasted, and the one guests ask about.
Best for: Half-time, guests who want something visually premium, anyone who prefers citrus over ginger.
4. San Pellegrino Natural Ginger Beer — ₦2,375
We covered Fever-Tree as the assertive ginger option in the non-alcoholic beers guide. San Pellegrino Natural Ginger Beer sits at the opposite end of the spectrum: gentle, mineral-forward, refined.
Where Fever-Tree announces itself immediately, San Pellegrino's version lets the ginger work quietly, more aromatic suggestion than full flavour statement. The mineral carbonation gives it a persistence in the glass that standard carbonated ginger beers don't have. It is the ginger drink for the guest who finds Fever-Tree too intense or wants something that feels more like a premium sparkling drink than a craft ginger beer.
On an EPL Saturday, where drinks are being consumed across many hours, the lighter approach of San Pellegrino is sometimes exactly right.
Best for: Extended sessions, guests who prefer delicate flavours, alongside lighter snacks and small plates.
5. Sir James G&T Tonic — ₦3,000
This one is for the person at your gathering who would normally be drinking gin and tonic.
Sir James G&T Tonic is designed to deliver the experience of a premium G&T without the gin juniper-forwardness, with the botanical complexity of a well-made tonic and a dry, aromatic finish. Served in a highball glass over ice with a slice of lime, it looks and feels like a cocktail. Nobody at the table questions what you are drinking, because it reads immediately as a premium drink, not an absence.
At ₦3,000, it is priced accordingly. It is not the volume option for a group of twelve; it is the specific answer for the one or two guests who want something that matches the register of what everyone else is drinking.
Best for: The non-drinker who wants a cocktail experience, upscale gatherings where the drinks presentation matters.
6. Sir James Ginger Mule — ₦3,000
The Moscow Mule, vodka, ginger beer, lime, served in a copper mug, is one of the most recognizable mocktails in Lagos right now. The Sir James Ginger Mule is the version you serve to the guest who wants that experience without the vodka.
Ginger-forward, slightly spiced, with the same satisfying carbonation as the original, it delivers the mule character authentically. The presentation in a glass over ice with lime is immediately recognizable. It is the correct drink for the guest who likes the social ritual of a proper cocktail but is not drinking alcohol this weekend.
Serve it properly: ice, lime, glassware. The effort is part of the message.
Best for: Guests who want a full cocktail experience, anyone who loves ginger mule and isn't drinking tonight.
7. Sangrita Picante Red — ₦8,350
Sangrita is the traditional Mexican accompaniment to tequila: a spiced, tomato-and-citrus blend with real heat and complexity. The Sangrita Picante Red from BottleKing is the non-alcoholic version, and it is the most interesting drink on this list by flavour profile.
This is not a gentle option. It is spiced, bold, and genuinely complex, tomato- and citrus-forward, with a chilli warmth that builds across the glass. It is the drink for the guest who wants something with real character, something that requires attention, something that stands out from the table. On an EPL Saturday, with suya or any grilled meat on the table, Sangrita Picante Red is a pairing that works in a way that most drinks on this list won't.
At ₦8,350, it is the premium non-alcoholic statement on this list. Offer it to the right guest; they will not forget it.
Best for: Spice lovers, food pairings with grilled meat or suya, the guest who wants something no one else at the table has encountered.
8. Rendezvous Non-Alcoholic Wine — ₦5,500
Not every EPL Saturday guest wants a beer-adjacent drink. Some want wine the experience of something still, nuanced, and slow without the alcohol.
Rendezvous is the accessible entry point into the non-alcoholic wine category on BottleKing. At ₦5,500, it is priced well below the Raisin range and delivers genuine wine character: enough body, enough fruit presence, enough of the wine experience to satisfy the guest who reaches for a glass rather than a bottle.
It is the non-alcoholic wine for a watching-sport occasion: approachable rather than formal, easy to pour freely, and a credible answer for the table that needs a wine option without committing to the premium tier.
Best for: Guests who prefer wine, mixed tables where someone will ask for a non-alcoholic wine option.
9. Raisin Rosé – Non-Alcoholic Wine — ₦19,750
For the table that takes its drinks seriously, the Raisin range is the answer.
Raisin Non-Alcoholic Wines are produced in the same way as premium wines: real grapes, proper winemaking, then dealcoholized while preserving the varietal character. The Rosé delivers what you expect from a quality still rosé: delicate red fruit, a dry finish, and enough complexity to hold attention across a glass. It does not taste like grape juice. It tastes like wine.
At ₦19,750, it is the premium non-alcoholic option on this list and the one that communicates genuine thought about the non-drinking guest. The person who reaches for this bottle knows what it is and is grateful it is there.
Best for: The non-drinker who genuinely appreciates wine, premium events where the standard of the whole table matters.
10. Scavi & Ray - White Grape — ₦14,600
Close the list with Scavi & Ray, a Spanish non-alcoholic sparkling white grape drink that delivers the festivity of a sparkling wine without a single degree of alcohol.
Scavi & Ray is the drink for the goal, the winner. The moment in the 88th minute when something decisive happens and the table needs a drink to match the moment, and not everyone can open the Champagne.
The flavour is crisp white grape with fine carbonation; it is celebratory by design. On a full EPL Saturday with five or six matches on the screen, the moment will arrive. Have this ready for it.
Best for: Celebrations, match-winning moments, the non-drinking guest who deserves to clink glasses with everyone else at the table.
