ZAG: The Soft Drink That Stops Dry January From Being So Dry

Posted on by
Dry January is probably getting boring now, so grab a ZAG. ZAG gives the experience of a beer or fizzy drink without the alcohol or sugar. We tried it and loved it.
Are you underwhelmed by alcohol free alternatives or unhappy with imitations of your favourite beer or wine?
ZAG is guaranteed to take the ‘dry’ out of Dry January (but still keeping it alcohol free). A sensational soft drink that’s low sugar, low calorie; it’s not too sweet and perfect drunk in place of your usual beer or wine.

A complex blend of ingredients gives ZAG it’s unique flavour with  herbs, citrus, and cucumber flavors, as well as a unique hoppy hint that makes ZAG completely unlike any alcohol alternative you’ve tasted before.

Bored of trying to find a non-alcoholic drink that you actually might like? Or fed up with soft drinks that give you sugar crashes, furry tongues and a bunch of additives? Then it’s time to ZAG. A grown-up soft drink, that’s low in sugar, high in taste and the closest thing to freedom in a can you’ll ever find! 

Forget compromising with sugary soft drinks that make you feel like a kid again (and not in a good way) and try the individual drink for people who do their own thing. Not drinking means that evenings out are way more memorable for all the right reasons, plus knowing you’re not knocking back tonnes of sugar as well as alcohol could make you the life and soul of the party! 

ZAG literally defies description because, thanks to a stunning and unique blend of ingredients, it tastes different for everyone.  Not only that but because it has less sugar than other leading soft drinks, you can start 2022 without the sugar crash or the hangover.  

Many people who give up alcohol in January may be drinking far more sugar than they would normally.  An evening spent drinking an average fizzy drink would be equivalent to 9 teaspoons of the white stuff.  Fruit juices, whilst healthy in many ways, are not low in sugar.  The fibre which would normally allow our bodies to digest the fructose (the main type of sugar in fruit) is absent meaning we are consuming more than the recommended daily amount of sugar in drinks alone. *

We can tell you what’s in this curious tipple, but we can’t tell you how it will taste for you, because the beauty of ZAG is in its uniqueness.  It’s like nothing else on the market.  Botanicals, hemp, citrus, cucumber and kombucha are blended to create a completely different kind of flavour.  It’s got to be tried to be believed. 

Let 2022 be the year you start to ZAG – do your own thing and do it with flair. No more compromises, no more sugar crashes and no more hangovers (unless you want one of course!). 

ZAG is available online at www.zagdrinks.com price: RRP £17.49 for 12 pack of bottles. 

 

Invite Everyone To The Festive Party With Savyll Alcohol-Free Cocktail

Posted on by

non-alcoholic cocktails, non-alcoholic, alcohol free. sayllWhether you’re the designated driver, a mum-to-be or moderating your alcohol intake, research shows that more of us are opting for alcohol-free drinks. This fabulous Savyll non-alcoholic cocktail gift set is the perfect way to make everyone feel part of the festive celebrations!

Savyll cocktails have been carefully crafted using a unique blend of natural ingredients to recreate the sophisticated flavours, familiarity and sense of occasion that cocktails bring, with a premium selection of the world’s most popular variations.

They have a beautifully presented gift box that features a choice of either Savyll’s best-selling collection Bellini, Gin & Tonic, Moscow Mule and Mojito OR you choose a box of four from their fabulous range, which also includes Spiced Rum & Cola and Old Cuban.

“Pronounced “sah-vell” – meaning to be ‘savoured by all’ Savyll cocktails can be served directly from their elegant signature glass bottles and enjoyed without the need for mixers or other embellishments – simply chill, serve and sip!

The range is vegan-friendly, gluten free and free from any listed allergens and artificial sweeteners.

Savyll was founded by “dinner party mixologist” Avnish Babla.  When he became an expectant father, Avnish wanted a healthier lifestyle for himself and his wife, Diana. Moderating alcohol consumption was important to him. However, he soon discovered there was a limited choice of non-alcoholic drinks that weren’t overly sweetened or artificially flavoured. Together with an award-winning beverage developer, Avnish turned his cocktail crafting passion into a mission to reinvent their alcohol-free namesakes, so anyone choosing to moderate or abstain can enjoy without compromise.

“I’ve always loved entertaining friends and family, and to experiment with new, unique cocktail ideas,” says Avnish, “but after choosing to moderate my own alcohol intake when my wife became pregnant, like many people, I felt removed from the sense of occasion and sophisticated taste complexities of alcoholic drinks.”

“As our branding suggests, we believe cocktails should be savoured to enjoy the intricate flavours. Savyll Cocktails are an alcohol-free reinvention of this principle, crafted with all of the exuberance, ambition and curiosities of cocktails so young and old, drinkers, moderators and abstainers can all enjoy the party – Savyll Cocktails can be savoured by all!

I have tried these non-alcoholic cocktails and I think they are great. So many of these non-alcoholic, or even pre-mixed cocktails, taste awful, like they are full of chemicals. Not these ones from Savyll. I would definitely buy these for some sparkly fun. They are perfect for Christmas of dry January.

Festive Cocktail Guide Vol. 2 ft Three Spirit Social Elixir

Posted on by

This year the market and demand for non-alcoholic spirits and beverages have boomed and more and more bars and restaurants are offering a much more exciting and varied non-alcoholic alternative menu. Accessing non-alcoholic bets has becoming so much more easier and it seems we can now treat ourselves with something other than the boring juice and ‘mocktail’ options that appear as an add-on to every drinks menu. 

This year we were treated to a host of tastings and samples of more and more innovative non alcoholic beverages and our favourite this far has to be;

Three Spirit

The World’s first non-alcoholic ’Social Elixir’. 

Created in a lab this came about as an experiment to create a plant-based alternative to alcohol…’for the bold the curious and for the good times with those who matter the most.’ The bold and curiously flavoured drink contains 11 plants, herbs and mushrooms which have been used for centuries in ceremonies and potions. Don’t be discouraged by the mushroom element… we are talking the strictly non magic kind, however Three Spirit does make you feel good made with an expert blend of plants and active compounds intended for the purpose of taste and effect. This goes without saying Three Spirit is Vegan-Friendly and Gluten Free!!!! 

Some of the ingredients included their Social Elixir blend are;

Lion’s Mane Mushroom which promotes cognitive function and mood, 

Tulsi which fights stress and introduces balance 

Damiana which is well…er an aphrodisiac 

Coconut Vinegar which promotes gut health

to name a few…

The serving suggestions for this drink are just stunning…

Echo Falls Alcohol Free Sparkling Infusion Review

Posted on by

wine, alcohol free, alcohol, free, pregnant, pregnancy, drinks, sparkling, grape, juicePeople, I haven’t had an alcoholic drink since last July. JULY. I have to admit, it has been hard. I don’t actually drink a lot but I review a lot of restaurants, go to events with free bars and we also review a lot of alcohol (Thanks Matt!). I miss the ceremony, the bit of fizz that means celebration. Which means I got quite excited about the prospect of reviewing alcohol-free wine. Send it over I told the PR, hoping that ‘ alcohol-free wine’ was not an oxymoron. And the result….

We loved it. It really does hit the spot. I also noticed that they were handing it out at The Baby Show at Excel last weekend. The sparkling mixture of Tisane, grape juice and premium green tea really does hit the spot. Drink it cold out of a champagne flute and it is actually nicer than a lot of proper, alcoholic wine. It tastes great and is very moreish. Which is fine because it is alcohol free and you can drink as much as you want! Yeah.

Echo Falls Alcohol Free Sparkling Infusion is refreshing and medium dry. It has wonderful crisp fruit flavours and bubbles that last. It also opens the exact way champagne does. Which is very satisfying. I am now addicted. My fridge will soon be filled with this superb drink. Love it.
