Spring has officially sprung, and with longer days, warmer breezes, and blossoms in bloom, it's the perfect time to refresh your no and low drink options. Botanical non-alcoholic cocktails, vibrant with seasonal herbs, fruits, and flowers, capture the essence of spring in every sip.
From garden parties to sunny afternoon picnics, embracing springtime sipping means creative, delicious beverages with all flavour and no fuss.
A standout favourite for spring is Botivo, an alcohol-free aperitif made here in the UK. Botivo is a delicious blend of botanicals, citrus, and herbs that dance together to create a wonderful layered drinking experience. Crisp, vibrant, and lightly bitter, it's a refreshing base for endless springtime creativity. Here's a go-to recipe for sunny days:
