There are so many great non-alcoholic beverages that keep the bitterness and complexities of alcohol, but it sounds like mocktails at disney are almost ALL sugar-sugar-sugar?
Are there any places that stock some of these non-alcoholic cocktail bases?
Thanks! I’d have to do that for each possible faux-alcohol, right? Or do more items show up classified as “Non-Alcoholic Spirit” if I search with that? I will explore today!
And I have done such a search now (kentucky 74, ghia, optimist, ritual…) and so far the two Seedlip drinks that @amvanhoose_701479 found are the only results of that kind. The only use of a shrub was as an ingredient in a traditional cocktail.
(I’m hoping now for these to break through and become an option, like meatless burgers: you can have beef or impossible. so your cocktails can be with XYZ, or with Optimist’s Emulation of XYZ.)
Wow! this is very interesting. Thanks for posting. I’m a very hard drinker and had no idea a whole world of options existed for non-alcoholic beverages.
I can’t help you but I can add that Oga’s non-alcoholic beverages are fun, not interesting and still sugary but fun.
i love red wine, sour beers, manhattans, and some “ancient cocktails” from my “A-Z of forgotten cocktails” book, but now, they no longer love me back.
I also wonder if you brought your own if they wouldn’t mix it up for you? With it being non-alcohol, there shouldn’t be any regulatory concerns. Do any of them come in “mini bar” sizes?
We’re flying, and trying to avoid checking bags, so that’d have to count as a “1” on our “311 liquids.”
Citricos is way beyond our budget – interesting how many of these are in the resorts – I was hoping that something like the Abracadabra bar would have a “magically faux-booze” menu section." Not just virgin knockoffs, but drinks designed to work with the unique qualities of these beverages.
It [Rainbow Sherbet from Praire Artisan Ales] sounds interesting, but not worth the multi-day depression that even small amounts of alcohol have been having on me.
