<p>MK Insta-fodder The Blossom Room is a primo spot for drinks and nibbles, whether or not you&#8217;re getting sozzled or staying saintly. Firstly, that incredible blossom tree ceiling is enough of a draw to get&nbsp;you through the door, and then the huge cocktail list will keep you barside. We&#8217;re intrigued by the Non-Cosmopolitan &#8211; any classic made with non-alcoholic vodka is worth investigating. An ideal after-theatre spot if you&#8217;re playing designated driver.</p>

<p>This Muddy Award-winning bar is known for its 1920s-style decor and buzzy atmosphere &#8211; after all, there&#8217;s no need to go boring just because you&#8217;re not on the hard stuff. There are two seating areas so you can prop up the bar or opt for the more intimate table seating at the other end close to the piano (sing-a-long &#8211; or just listen-along on Friday and Saturday nights). Alcohol-free options here include classic mocktails like a Nojito and a Pino Colada, as well as a refreshing Pineapple and Ginger Cooler. </p>

<p>Head upstairs at buzzy pub/restaurant The Cherry Tree and you&#8217;ll find their cosy Hipwell Bar, which is just the spot for a natter and a browse of their lo- and no menu.

<p>If you haven&#8217;t visited already, pub and eatery The Apple Tree in Gerrards Cross is a peachy spot to nurse a Tanqueray 0.0% Collins (it&#8217;s the new G&amp;T, FYI), or a spicy Caribbean mule made with sweet pineapple or juicy watermelon. The vibe is family-friendly, and the menu is such an eclectic mix of cuisines that you&#8217;ll want to keep coming back to try it all.</p>

Combine with some excellent foodie sharing boards and their famous hanging kebabs and you have a fabulous evening in the works.</p>

<p>Who better to head to for virtuous tipples in gorgeous surroundings than the Daylesford small plates and cocktail hangout, The Legbar. From smoothies and cold-pressed juices to cold-pressed nut drinks (if it&#8217;s <em>a thing</em>, it&#8217;ll be on the menu here) or milk-based kefirs or kombuchas, you can sip your way through a booze-free evening right up to 10pm and still drive home clear-headed and (relatively) cleansed.  </p>
