Spring Clarity: Alcohol-Free Spirits

As the snow melts and the green shoots begin to show, the crisp, clean sense of renewal should be celebrated in all of its un-muted glory with an alcohol-free libation of exquisite design. Though lemonade and iced tea are longtime favorites, this year we’re particularly fond of offerings from Seedlip, a UK company committed to “solving the dilemma of ‘what to drink when you’re not drinking,’” as they have it.

Aromatic, earthy and woody Consisting of Allspice, cardamom, oak, lemon and grapefruit

• Spice 94
• 50ml Seedlip Spice
• 100ml Fever Tree Tonic
• Serve in a highball glass with ice and a red grapefruit twist.

Copper-pot-distilled, Seedlip’s award-winning non-alcoholic spirits are created using methodology established in “The Art of Distillation,” a 1651 tome re-purposed for modern times. Currently consisting of two offerings, the company’s catalog is available in some of London’s finest drinking establishments, as well as being available to consumers via reasonably-priced shipment. With no artificial flavors, no sugar or sweetener—and no calories—Seedlip’s alcohol-free distilled spirits are the perfect way to keep a clear head in the cleanest season of the year.
