When designing a booze-free cocktail, “you’re trying to create an elevated, complex drink,” explains Chris Marshall, founder and CEO of Sans Bar, a venue in Austin that serves only zero-proof cocktails. But all provide a faux-spirit base for zero-alcohol drinks that are more than just fancy juice. Some non-alcoholic alternatives mimic traditional spirits or pre-mixed cocktails, while others have flavors that are harder to pin down. Altogether, it’s proof that non-alcoholic drinks are having a moment. It’s projected to reach nearly $1,258 billion by 2027, according to Fortune Business Insights. In comparison, the industry was valued at just over $900 billion in 2019. The sea change is already moving the economic needle: Demand for booze-free beverages was up 60% from July 2020 to 2021, and the global non-alcoholic market has seen steady growth since 2020. Now, things like the sober curious movement and Dry January have led to the rise of non-alcoholic bottle shops all over the country and books that cover the subject (we love Good Drinks). That may be fine for bars and restaurants with plenty of time and ingredients, but what about for home bartenders seeking an easy end-of-day drink? Many recipes called for shrubs, syrups and other house-made components build complex flavors within a drink. From virgin margaritas, non-alcoholic martinis and Riverine and tonic to spiritless whiskey sour cocktails and other mocktail recipes, there are plenty reasons to source booze-free bottles for your sober bar.īefore the non-alcoholic spirits boom, the buzz-free route presented challenges. Though you may already be familiar with non-alcoholic beers or regularly sip on the best non-alcoholic wines alongside perfect cheese pairings, there’s a lot more you can do with non-alcoholic spirits.
If you’re looking for a refreshing, cooling Whiskey cocktail with a little old-school whimsy, the Mint Julep is an excellent choice. It is also a good way to see if your bartender is worth his/her salt. My personal favorite Whiskey drink is the Old Fashioned. But there are a ton of excellent drinks you can make with it. Whiskey is often consumed straight (or neat). There are also a ton of regional variations with the most popular being American, Canadian and Scotch. There are almost unlimited types of Whiskey, from single blends to mixes. Whiskeys are often referred to by their age, but there is no evidence that Whiskey improves after a decade or 2. The first recorded mention of Whiskey comes in 1405 from the Irish Annals of Clonmacnoise. If you’re looking to knock back a drink like a Mad Man, Whiskey (and it’s cousin Scotch) is your go-to.Ī distillery makes Whiskey from fermented rye, wheat, barley or corn. If you’re on a budget, I highly recommend Titos Vodka made in Austin Texas, which is by far the best value in Vodka. My favorite brand of Vodka is Grey Goose the World’s best tasting Vodka. It consists of 1 oz Lemon Flavored Vodka (Preferably Absolut Citron), 7 oz of still water(preferably bottled) and ½ oz of lime juice to taste.
My personal favorite Vodka drink is called an Evil Blue Jay.
Some of the most popular Vodka drinks are White Russians, Dirty Martinis, and The Cosmopolitan. With most brands containing only around 60 or so calories per shot. One of the main benefits of Vodka is that it is low in calories. They push for the term "Vodka" to apply only to liquors produced from grains, potatoes or sugar beets. Those countries produce as much as 70% of the EU’s vodka supply. The so-called Vodka Belt includes most of the Nordic states: Russia, Poland, Ukraine. Using plants like rye, potatoes, through distilling a solution of crystal sugar. Vodka distillation uses any plant high in starch or sugar. What we know, is that the original version of Vodka has almost nothing to do with what we drink today! Doctors initially prescribed Vodka and at that time it had as little as 14% alcohol. The first written mention of the word was in 1405 from Akta Grodzkie recorder of deeds. No one can agree on the origin story of Vodka due to the lack of historical information available. Vodka and I are in a very happy relationship of over 10 years. We’ll start with my personal favorite liquor, Vodka.
