The 10 Best Non-Alcoholic Rums in Canada (2027)

I’m Simon Poulin, co-founder of Upside Drinks. Here are my picks for 2027.

Looking for the best non-alcoholic rum? We went through every alcohol-free rum in stock at Upside Drinks and picked the 10 we recommend most: spiced rums for a rum and cola, dark rums for a Dark 'n' Stormy, white rums for mojitos and a coconut rum for piña coladas.

Rum is one of the easiest spirits to replace without alcohol, because it is usually mixed. If you are new to alcohol-free spirits, this is the category to start with.

How We Picked the Best Non-Alcoholic Rum

• Taste in a cocktail:: rum is mostly mixed, so we judged each one with cola, ginger beer and lime.
• Range of styles:: spiced, dark, white and coconut.
• In stock in Canada:: every bottle ships from our Canadian warehouses.

1. Captain Morgan 0.0

Price: $44.99 / Buy Now

The undisputed number one. Captain Morgan Spiced Gold 0.0% is our best-selling non-alcoholic spirit, with more than 2,000 bottles sold in the last six months alone.
