As we welcome in the New Year, we’re taking a look at some fresh new trends in the non-alcoholic drinks category. Between FUL, Three Spirit and GIMBER, our alc-free clients offer a plethora of flavours with benefits.
Dry January 2022 is set to see the launch of FUL Spirulina Fizz, a brand-new range of blue ‘climate positive’ sparkling, super food drinks that contain one of the planet’s richest forms of nutrients. Already a huge hit in Holland’s leading gyms and bars, FUL was created by three climate-entrepreneurs, Julia, Cristina and Sara in Amsterdam in September 2021. FUL® Spirulina Fizz is a blend of carbonated water, patented ingredient FUL® Spirulina and natural flavourings to create a range of low calorie, low carb superfood drinks. FUL® Spirulina is loaded with calcium, plant-based protein, iron, magnesium, vitamin B2 and powerful antioxidants. Available in three flavours from www.fulsuperfood.com

Lemon & ginger
·Lime & mint
If the prospect of ditching alcohol for a month is daunting, Three Spirit is an incredible range of functional non-alcoholic drinks, that reduce fomo and still give you that ‘buzz’. The core range features three, flavour-forward alcohol alternatives; Livener, Social Elixir, and Nightcap. These elixirs have been developed in partnership with plant scientists including Professor Michael Heinrich from UCL School of Pharmacy, world-class bartenders and herbalists in order to create different feelings. Three Spirit is all about celebrating what we can add to alc-free drinks, rather than what we take away; wise words!
Or maybe you’re looking for a fiery winter warmer to keep the January chills at bay, then it’s definitely the smooth and spicy GIMBER for you. Founded by maverick Dimitri Oosterlynck who struggled to find a sophisticated and characterful replacement for alcohol. GIMBER uses completely natural, organic and unfiltered ginger, lemons and spices to create an incredibly versatile concentrate ideal for a myriad of drinks. One of the key compounds found in ginger is gingerol, which not only activates spice receptors on the tongue but also has been found to have restorative properties; and what could be better given that going alc-free is truly all about restoration. GIMBER is a hugely adaptable liquid and is great as a morning pick me up, a sumptuous evening cocktail, mocktail or tea, adding a little zing to your day. Try adding a splash to glaze your salmon, excellent if you’re out of ginger but still want that heat in your dinner.
So, whether you’re braving Dry Jan this year or not, we hope these drinks have inspired you to try something new!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and a fantastic start to 2022!
