The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Last, but not least, I am featuring a non-alcoholic cocktail I came up with last year, but only got around to try now. The drink features some trending ingredients and also sticks to the theme of this year’s Dry January – tea.
Dry January would not be complete without a drink using San Bitter. I know that it is artificially coloured and contains a lot of sugar, but I just love the bittersweet taste. In this case, I paired it with milky Oolong syrup and grape juice for a Negroni-esque drink.
A few years back, I would not have believed that there is a big market for non-alcoholic ‘spirits’. Yet, now you can find a great variety out there. However, I asked myself if you could come up with something similar at home. You can find the results and a delicious no-ABV drink below.
I find it liberating to write about non-alcoholic cocktails. Mainly because, I do not need to write tasting notes on a spirit. At the same time, no-ABV drinks are hard. You have to replace the taste and mouthfeel of booze by something else while at the same time keeping the drink balanced.
