TIPS TO CREATE QUALITY
LOW AND NO DRINKS
No alcohol, no problem.
Follow these top tips to help you create complex, balanced low
and no drinks and showcase them on your menu!
KNOW YOUR OPTIONS
•
Develop your knowledge on the non-alcoholic or
low proof alternatives you can use to craft low and
no drinks.
BALANCE IS KEY
•
Reconfigure your approach to balance to remove
the alcohol from the heart.
•
Decide on the flavour profile you want to achieve
and carefully select complimentary ingredients to
create that.
REVISIT THE CLASSICS
•
Start by replicating simple classic drinks that have
a lower abv to begin with, like a gin and tonic and
replace the alcohol with a zero-proof alternative.
CONSIDER MOUTH FEEL
•
Think of texture in your drinks.
For example, tannins from tea or a hint of sugar.
Edible garnishes are also a great way to add more
texture and interest to your serve.
GIMME SOME SUGAR
•
Sweeten the drink without adding sugar by using
natural or modified substitutes such as agave
syrup, maltitol, cane juice or brown rice syrup.
