History
Non-Alcohol Spirits
In recent years, the trend of alcohol-free spirits has increased, with companies and mixologists pursuing innovative and flavorful non-alcohol options to traditional spirits like gin, whiskey, vodka, and rum. Adding to its creativity, Non-Alcoholic Ready-to-Drink Cocktails, or "mocktails," have also claimed their share in the market for sober sipping without the extra work of mixing up a drink. The rise in consumer demand for non-alcohol spirit beverages lies in their ability to provide a sophisticated drinking experience without alcohol's intoxicating effects. Whether you're looking for a classic gin alternative or to replace the base spirit in a margarita, for example, the experts at Flavorman are ready to help transform those ideas into a flavorful, spirit-free reality.
Key Considerations
- Non-alcohol spirits can also be used as a base for mocktails and other alcohol-free mixed drinks, making them a versatile and exciting addition to any bar or restaurant menu.
- Non-alcoholic Spirits can be made in several variations but must contain less than 0.5% ABV.
- Although the alcohol content in these alcohol-flavored beverages is typically below 0.1% vol., some residual alcohol may be expected from the use of food flavors, which are often dissolved and commercialized in alcoholic solutions.
