20 Low & Non-Alcoholic Drinks To Try

Beavertown Brewery Lazer Crush

This Beavertown IPA just happens to be alcohol free. Rather than brewing with small amounts of malt or dealcoholising after fermentation, for Lazer Crush the team used a clever strain of yeast that fully ferments the crisp pilsner malt without producing alcohol and adds a hint of peachy fruit. Thanks to some heavy-duty hops, the result is a 0.3% sip that tastes so much better than those awful 0.0% beers of yesteryear.

Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence

Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence is full strength at 46% ABV, but you only need a tiny bit of it.

Made using ten times the botanical concentration of the distillery’s award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin, you get a huge amount of flavour per unit of alcohol, meaning just 5ml is needed for a full G&T that has one-tenth of the alcohol (around 0.23 units) of a normal serve. Just fill a copa glass with ice and add five full drops. Top with 200ml of your favourite tonic water and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
