As someone who has been sober for 1,5 years now - not by choice, but by unwanted medication side-effects - my favorites are Boo Boo's Special (9cl Pineapple/ 9cl Orange/1,5cl Lime juice + dashes of Grenadine+Bitters) as a cocktail, or "the Sophisticated Lavender" Soda. Personally, I welcome all the alcohol alternatives, and I get the feeling that alcohol-free sparkling wines or and others have really improved in both execution and choice recently - still doesn't give the same feeling of value as a 12+ year aged spirit, though, unfortunately.

As somebody who's around two decades sober, thank you for this, it's much appreciated. And, since it's the internet, the place of pointing out the obvious: when making these drinks for others, it would be polite to check if your guests are ok with a dash of bitters or a spray of absinthe. While probably not having a measurable metabolical effect, some people might not be comfortable with any alcohol being added.
@kscott2655
@kscott2655 Год назад
Absolutely correct. I disagreed with Greg's use of these and calling it "non-alcoholic". Lots of people I know would absolutely care if a tiny portion of their drink (not enough to metabolically matter) was alcoholic. They don't even eat food cooked with wine.

@@kscott2655 I can get down with personal definitions mattering a lot but the thing about about legal definitions is that they really do matter. A lot.

It paints a very, very different parameter. To me, it's very clear that Greg was working with the legal definition of a "non-alcoholic beverage" in his thought process. If he was thinking with zero abv in his thought process, we'd have gotten a different episode for sure.

I have long believed that if you try "Dryuary" and you actually struggle with it, that's a pretty good sign that you've got an actual honest-to-gods drinking problem. Doesn't necessarily mean that you have a problem to the degree where you have to go cold sober, but it often exposes an uncomfortable truth about people's social and recreational lives. But then again, I'm 26 years sober because I went into rehab in exchange for having the assault and battery charges dropped, which is a more...direct...form of learning beyond doubt that you've got a drinking problem.

I agree, I am drink alcohol occasionally but I sometimes go months without it and never really think about alcohol. When I do drink it is 1-2 glasses and usually only with food.

You've got it! And some words of advice: Stay away from the original drinks in here. The bitters and absinthe aren't appropriate for recovering alcoholics. Cock N' Bull ginger beer is the hottest one we've been able to find. It's not overly sweet and the ginger fire in it is intense. For my mom it's a perfect replacement for beer or wine after work. Teas are a really good way to get some strong flavors, especially some of the more exotic ones. Lapsang tea is smoked so it fills my cravings for islay scotches or mezcal pretty well, and outside of that there's stuff like hibiscus that's complex and delicious on its own. Look into interesting syrups, fruit juices, herbs, or spices too. Grapefruit, passionfruit, ginger, allspice, intense smoked salt, and pomegranate are all essentials for my home bar when I'm making no ABV drinks alongside standards like lemons and limes.

As someone who found this channel because I was promoted to cocktail server at a previous job, but don't actually drink, it's interesting to see you come to this topic. Your discussions on history, flavors, production and more helped me serve guests and inspired a passion for mixology to the point where I just gave a set of 5 homemade drink mixes and syrups as a Christmas gift to some family members (Grenadine, Ginger Syrup, Fassionola, Coquito Mix, and an "Old Fashioned" syrup). Beyond adaptations of existing drinks I've also experimented with some ideas, one of my favorites which I call the Ginger Nichols (a mix of 1 part fresh lemon juice, 2 parts blueberry syrup, and 3 parts hot ginger beer). Most of my drinks are probably way too sweet for your tastes, but nonetheless your channel has been my greatest point of inspiration for this hobby and I hope to continue developing it for the foreseeable future.

A product like this screams at me to ask "who is this product for?" It's the same question I ask when I see ads for Tonal, or those tech mirror or LED monitor with lifting attachments because strength training is my hobby, for lack a term, and spent a lot of money in 2020/21 helping build up a buddy's garage gym. I laugh and find them to be wastes of time and space because they don't sound functional at all to me after they start detailing the upper limits of what they do. That's when the "who is this product for?" question kicks in and anyone with a brain realizes they aren't aiming at any serious lifter. These imitation alcohols fall into the same category. These aren't for people serious about the taste of the food and drink they are putting in their mouth. I can understand why people get mad at such products because they are a waste of resources. I can also understand why I should just shrug my shoulders and keep walking.

Re: the Italian bitter sodas: I love Sanbitter! Also check out Stappis- they come in both red and white.

Lemon, Lime & Bitters is a well known drink in Australia. It's a build type where you dress the bitters around the interior of a tall glass, add a little grenadine, lime syrup, then put your ice and top up with soda. There's also another Aussie brand of non-alcoholic beverages by Bundaberg that do LLB and other flavours. Big recommend for non-alcoholic drinkers.

I recently did a diet Moscow Mule in an attempt to cut back some calories and alcohol from my weekly routine and found it to be an outstanding replacement. I grated 100 grams of ginger on a box grater and topped it with 1.5 liters of boiling water to make a ginger tea I let chill overnight in the fridge. Afterwards, I strained it and carbonated it with my Drinkmate. Honestly, it was pretty great on its own. I added 3/4 oz of lime juice and two dashes of a habanero tincture I'd made to amp up the heat (which gets a bit lost in the cooking/steeping process) in a mule mug with ice and topped it with the carbonated ginger tea. The end result was an extremely refreshing mocktail Mule that hit all the right notes while also being zero calorie. Highly, highly recommend!

My New Years Eve was dry due to being a DD. Well, I didn't want to drink soda or water all evening so I made a drink. 2 oz Black Tea - Cooled and very strong 1/2 oz Lime 1/2 oz Ginger Beer 1/2 oz Grenadine 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters (I am counting those as non alcoholic here). Soooo good. I used super juice and prebatched them. The tea was watered down enough so I just threw a splash of soda water and ice when I felt like pouring myself a drink. And you could add rum to booze it up if you felt like it.

In Sweden every year for christmas and easter people drink a soda called julmust / påskmust ( christmas must / easter must). It was originally meant to be an non-alcoholic version of beer but it turned into it's own thing. We also have svagdricka ("weak drink" lol), but that one is not as popular.

Availability of alcohol in supermarkets varies WILDLY by state over here, because every single state has its own laws about it. I was just talking the other day with friends online that have only ever lived in one state about my experiences living up and down the east coast, how where I grew up (20 years) you could buy beer in a supermarket but nothing stronger than that, I moved 200 miles south and they had entire _aisles_ for wine--both sides, floor to ceiling, front to back of store--but spirits were only allowed to be sold at state-run liquor stores (where I grew up I was used to fully independent liquor stores) then I split the difference and moved 100 miles back north and now I've found out that places can't even sell _beer_ unless they have sit-down-eat places, and they have to sell it from a separate register to the grocery section, plus state-run liquor stores.

I started with the same ideas you started with: Bitters, citrus zest/peel, citrus juice, aromatics (ginger), fresh herbs and spices, ice, and soda. Then I wandered the baking aisle, the syrup aisle, and the apothecary. On my mixing shelf now: Orange blossom water, rose water, tart cherry juice concentrate, ginger syrup, Woodcutter's Spruce bitters, and herbal tinctures such as lemon balm and clove. Cold brew espresso and tea concentrates work well also. Aperitifs were traditionally medicinal, and you can still buy tinctures of medicinal herbs (some of the same ingredients in amaros and vermouths) in natural health stores. Using honey, agave, maple, and molasses instead of simple also adds complexity.

Nearing two years since quitting alcohol, so this video is very much to my interests. Thanks for doing it.

I hope you keep making episodes like this every now and then. I'm trying to reduce my alcohol intake, but I do love an evening cocktail or two, so I'd love to have a collection of good recipes to try.
