Dry rolls out zero-proof craft cocktails
For those interested in having a cocktail without the alcohol, Dry has the solution.
The brand, known best for its non-alcoholic and botanical beverages, announced the launch of a new line of zero-proof craft cocktails.
Botanical Bitters & Soda, which is available in three flavors — aromatic, bright/herbal and sweet/spicy — were inspired by the ritual of craft mixology, the company said.
“While writing ‘The Guide to Zero-Proof Cocktails’ I became enamored with the world of mixology — the ritual of layering textures and flavors, the feel of the glass in your hand, the refined garnishes, and taking a moment to savor your creation over great conversation,” Sharelle Klaus, founder and CEO of Dry said. “Our Botanical Bitters & Soda was born from this inspiration and a desire to make it easy for anyone to enjoy the complex flavors and true experience of a zero-proof cocktail with no mixing required. The culture of mixology is ever evolving, and those who appreciate the craft are increasingly looking for ways to create zero-proof drinks that have the same depth of flavor as traditional spirit-based cocktails. Botanical Bitters & Soda is a simple way to enjoy everything you love about craft mixology without the booze, and brings us a step closer to our vision of fostering an environment where alcohol doesn’t have to be central to life’s social moments.”
Formulated by deconstructing the essence of conventional bitters and blending them with notes of botanicals, herbs and citrus, the beverages also are made without the use of sugar and non-GMO ingredients, the company said.
In the aromatic blend, consumers can expect to find a blend of orange peel with botanicals, as well as notes of cinnamon and clove.
When it comes to the bright/herbal option, the beverage features ginger, lavender, orange, cardamom, sage, lemon and grapefruit.
Lastly, the sweet/spicy blend contains a fusion of jalapeno and habanero peppers, as well a citrus and lemongrass.
Currently, Dry Botanicals Bitters & Soda line is available in a pack of 12 that retails for $39.99 at Amazon.com and drinkdry.com.
