Non-alcoholic mixed drinks date back to when cocktails emerged, appearing as "temperance drinks" in the first American cocktail books, including Jerry Thomas's Bar-Tenders Guide (1862). Merriam-Webster cites the first mention of "mocktail" as appearing in 1916.
While the name of the non-alcoholic drink, as well as its style, has evolved over time, it is often a reflection of cocktail culture at large. The 1980s saw the resurgence of a mocktail movement with often sugary drinks. Following the sophistication of cocktail culture of the 2000s, the zero proof drink also became more refined.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/ajimpact/wall-street-firms-swap-alcohol-mocktails-holiday-season-191218132054486.html|title=Wall Street firms swap alcohol for mocktails this holiday season|agency=Reuters|website=Aljazeera.com|date=28 January 2020|access-date=16 April 2020}}</ref>
In the 2000s, non-alcoholic drinks became popular enough to find their place on cocktail menus in many restaurants and bars, especially temperance bars.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/booze-free-bars-join-the-mocktail-revolution/|title=Booze-free bars: join the mocktail revolution|last=Coughlin|first=Daniel|publisher=MSN|date=22 September 2014|access-date=16 April 2020}}</ref> According to Mintel, alcohol-free mixed drinks grew 35% as a beverage type on the menus of bars and restaurants from 2016 to 2019 in the US.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/explore/shop-northwest/with-a-nudge-from-the-young-and-sober-mocktails-taking-hold/|title= Hold the booze: Mocktails taking hold among the young and sober|agency=Associated Press|last=Italie|first=Leanne|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=11 September 2019|access-date=16 April 2020}}</ref> In 2019, ''The Providence Journal'' reported that there were at least 4 bars in New York City that served mocktails only.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.providencejournal.com/entertainmentlife/20191015/newfangled-mocktails-are-so-good-you-might-not-miss-alcohol|title=Newfangled mocktails are so good, you might not miss the alcohol|last=Ciampa|first=Gail|newspaper=The Providence Journal|date=15 October 2019|access-date=16 April 2020}}</ref>
Zero proof drinks can be made in the style of classic cocktails, like a non-alcoholic gimlet, or can represent a new style of drink altogether. The popularity of drinking abstinence programs like Dry January, coinciding with the rise of the health and wellness culture has pushed non-alcoholic drinks to wider acceptance. Like the vegetarian food movement or the popularity of oat milk, zero proof drinks are now seen as valid choices for all types of drinkers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2019/05/26/727018361/a-mixologists-guide-to-no-proof-cocktails|title=A Mixologist's Guide To 'No-Proof' Cocktails|last1=Davis|first1=Susan|last2=Evstatieva|first2=Monika|publisher=NPR|date=26 May 2019|access-date=16 April 2020}}</ref>
