REVIEW: "Drinks Kitchen Aperitifs? Delicious Cool Ambrosia!"

“These beautifully and sustainably packaged bottles each deliver their own unique grown-up flavour experience.ย  Orange Cinchona is my non-alcoholic amber nectar; made long with sparkling water, it’s refreshingly satisfying with layers of flavour so unusual yet moreish, it’s hard to resist a second. Spiced Rhubarb & tonic with ice and a slice is refined sophistication and with notes of aromatic juniper, it’s hard to believe its not a G&T.ย  Herb Verde with Mediterranean tonic is the taste of holidays for me.ย  A cool glass of this immediately transports me to a beach-side bar in the Balearics – just heavenly.

Do yourself a flavour favour and give Drinks Kitchen a try”.

REVIEW; CHEFS TABLE RESTAURANT, BRISTOL

“We have been offering DK non-alcoholic aperitif in our restaurant for over 6 months now and our customers love it. It offers something a little bit different and special to our non-drinking customers. There is something for everyone in terms of flavour. The sweet Rhubarb, The bitter Orange and the Green herb. In their unusual ceramic bottles they look great too!”

Caroline @ Chefs Table

REVIEW: "UNIQUE"

“I was introduced to this non-alcoholic drink at a festival and fell in love with the design of the bottle, so different to so many on the market already. Then I tried the product and the passion from Alli was obvious and it tastes great! I’ve had it on my back bar for some time now and it sells really well.”

Mary Galer, Miller of Mansfield, Goring

REVIEW: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR PRODUCTS"

“We have tried all 3 of the non-alcoholic aperitifs and can highly recommend them all.ย  They were fabulous as an early evening drink, an alternative to the ‘gin & tonic’ and so delicious that it felt like a real treat. We enjoyed ours with sparkling water, this allowed the flavours of the aperitif to shine through.

My absolute favourite is the Orange Cinchona – I’m such a Negroni fan, it really has that vibe and my partner loved the Herb Verde which has a fresh and herby G&T taste”.

ย TREAT YOURSELF TO AWARD WINNING NON-ALCOHOLIC APERITIF

Drinks Kitchen Aperitif are something special for you to enjoy without alcohol. The recipes use distillates and extracts from fruits, herbs, spices & bitters blended to make a drinks kitchen aperitif packed with flavour.
The goal is delicious flavours from beginning to end. Handmade by Alli in Weston Super Mare, Somerset.

"These drinks help me make that transition from work to relaxing in the evening. In the past, I would have a glass of wine but I really wanted to cut down and change that habit because I felt my alcohol consumption was unhealthy." Alli.

New customers ask whether or not it's a Non Alcoholic Gin or Spirit.ย  How you use it is similar but you can just use sparkling water for your mixer as it'sย  packed with flavour and perfectly balanced without the need for tonic - but of-course, mix to suit your preference.

Spiced Rhubarb Non-Alcoholic Aperitif

Spiced rhubarb

The fragrance & flavour of Rhubarb gives big impact in this recipe followed by aromatic Juniper and Ginger. A gentle Chilli heat warms on the finish โ€“ Not overpowering but you know its there.

How to Serve
A 25ml measure of Spiced Rhubarb to 175ml of sparkling water, soda or tonic creates the perfect spritz. 950ml makes 38 drinks.ย 

 

Herb Verde Non-Alcoholic Aperitif

The aroma of fresh Mint and herbs sing in our Herb Verde.ย  The initial burst is of refreshing Mint together with the pea pod notes of Gentian, followed byย  more subtle herby notes of Rosemary & Thyme.

How to Serve
A 25ml measure of Herb Verde
to 175ml of sparkling water, soda, tonic or chilled green tea creates the perfect spritz. 950ml makes 38 drinks.

Orange Cinchona Non-Alcoholic Aperitif

I have my first wholesale customer @thecressco and today I was at their Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ 2023 roadshow meeting new potential customers who can stock from August/September. I was so excited to see my range in their brochure! It feels like my non-alcoholic babies are growing up and may be heading out without their mum. Okay, that may sound weird! 
Met some lovely people today from some fabulous delis and farmshops who I hope decide to stock! Plus my neighbours @popcornshed @belvoirfarm_uk @mrfilberts

Which non-alcoholic aperitif would you choose?
Sweet, sour, bitter, fresh?
I love all of them depending on my mood and what Iโ€™m having alongside - they pair beautifully with different dishes. Herb Verde with Chicken Larb is a thing of wonder!
But my personal favourite is Orange Cinchona ๐ŸŠ I naturally prefer less sweet and I love bitter flavours - perhaps my micro biome loves it?

New Customer โค๏ธ I popped in to meet Charlie and his super friendly team at The Inn at Yanleigh. Itโ€™s on the main A38 into Bristol and itโ€™s always busy.
Itโ€™s a hotel and restaurant and the main restaurant is on the second floor with amazing views over the countryside.  The menu has a great range of classic dishes and vegan, veggie options plus a delicious selection of sundaes - who doesnโ€™t love a sundae - my choice crunchie honeycomb sundae ๐Ÿ˜‹
Now you can choose from Spiced Rhubarb, Orange Cinchona or Grapefruit Piquante non-alcoholic apero to go with your meal.

The Art of Aperitivo

 

In Italy, Aperitivo is so much more than just a drink, it’s an inherent part of the culture.ย  Between 6-9pm, bars areย packed with families and friendsย socialising and catching up for a few hours over a drink and with a light snack before heading off to dinner.

What a great way to start the evening!ย ย 

Create amazing non-alcoholic spritz with the Drinks Kitchen Aperitif.ย  Just pour a 25ml serve into a glass and top with up to 175ml of sparkling water, tonic or soda.ย  If you want to serve up some nibbles alongside then why not try the focaccia recipe
and serve for dipping with some balsamic and olive oil.

By enjoying a non-alcoholic aperitif, we can make it an regular occurrence and drive home safely.
