That’s a wrap on the latest issue. Now for a tasty non-alcoholic cocktail that includes one of the drink I wrote about.

“Ringa in the New Year” from Cheeky & Dry in Seattle.

Incudes: Ringa Lemon + Ginger, The Pathfinder and lime simple syrup.

Cracking!

Well thanks the follow! Yes, so many of these drinks are hard to find. Hopefully that will change. Online purchasing is really the only option for many folks. I can’t remember the name of the online NA drinks store in Canada but will try and find it for you. Otherwise it’s direct sales.

I have a free guide to getting started with your non-alcoholic drink search. Happy to send you the link if you think it might be helpful to you. 🙂

You might try Noughty Red and also Saint Viviana Cabernet Sauvignon. Both are very good. I think if you have given up alcohol these wines become a lot more palatable. If you are still drinking regular wine it’s more difficult as you are always drawing comparisons to wine with alc.

Yeah everyone one of their drinks are fabulous. I think the Amaro Falso is my fave.

To be fair that one from Lagunitas isn’t the best. Some of the early ones from breweries aren’t great and they continue with the same recipes. There are a couple of 100 NA beers out there now. Keep trying you’ll find some you like. Let me know if need any suggestions. Happy to help.

Nice. Yeah they make great NA beer. They had a fantastic t-shirt a couple of years back that I regret not buying.

This sounds right up my alley. I’ve never heard of tobacco bitters.

Could be. Jurgen Klopp is another that comes to mind.

Nice. Their Sumac and Chili is good too along with both their bottled Aperitifs. I write about adult non-alcoholic drinks in a weekly newsletter if you want some other ideas. The link is in my bio. Best of luck and you’ll be glad to know there are tons of great drinks out there.

Yeah it’s good stuff. If you like that one you should also look out for Ceria - Grainwave, another Belgian White made by the same brewer.
