I’d been looking for some resources for nonalcoholic elixirs recently during my mixologist partner’s pregnancy, and found Zero Proof to be a nice resource for making elaborate mixed drinks without the booze. I’d been looking for some riffs on popular cocktail types and Maureen Petrosky’s work fusing bright, aromatic syrups and juices for a refreshing or stimulating effect. Working with shrubs, fresh fruit and herbs, and even salt and spice mixes, Zero Proof includes vibrant drinks in which you can hardly miss the booze (well, mostly anyway). Petrosky even includes a chapter on low ABV cocktails for when you do want a bit of a buzz from a little liquor but don’t want to go overboard, such as the reverse Manhattan.

I recommend other resources for crafting global cocktails at Harris' Tome Corner, here.

This book has some very good base recipes for syrups and shrubs plus a variety of cocktails to make use of them. There's also a chapter on low-alcohol drink recipes, like shandys and spritzers.
