Pathfinder

Pathfinder is an INCREDIBLE non-alcoholic apertif made from fermented and distilled hemp. It does not contain CBD. The production process is so intensive that buyers are limited to a purchase of one bottle per order. Pathfinder’s product page states: “This ingenious spirit is fermented from hemp and carefully refined by copper pot distillation. The base liquid is then blended with an alchemy of wormwood, angelica root, … Continue reading Pathfinder

Pierre Zero Prestige Chardonnay

I tried the Pierre Zero Prestige Chardonnay, which looked promising from it’s online reviews. The color is gorgeous and I was so excited to crack it open and give it a try. I love a great, buttery Chardonnay in the wintertime, and this one looked like it might hit the notes. From the first drift of scent, I knew this was not going to be … Continue reading Pierre Zero Prestige Chardonnay

Acid League- Velvet

Acid League Velvet is an alcohol-free red wine proxy made by a vinegar company whose goal is to inspire discovery through acidity. Acid League Velvet is one of their many “layered blends of juices, teas, spices, bitters, and more with all the complexity of great wine, and none of the alcohol”. I reviewed their Bee Complex, and while I wanted to love it, it was … Continue reading Acid League- Velvet

Crisp & Crude- Gold Fashioned

I tried out Crisp & Crude‘s Gold Fashioned, a pre-mixed mocktail made with Chocolate Thai Terpenes. I love pre-mixed mocktails because they’re so easy to bring to parties/gatherings and not raise eyebrows. This is HIGHLY drinkable and delicious. It is reminiscent of an Old Fashioned and true to the flavors without trying to be one. It’s smoky with a kick of spice, citrusy and only … Continue reading Crisp & Crude- Gold Fashioned

Wilfred’s Apertif

I read a post the other day about transfer addictions, self-examined, and concluded that other than exercising regularly, I’m good. The next day, I randomly logged into Ancestry.com and for 48 hours, obsessively tracked my lineage all the way up to Old Grandma Saint Begga born in 618. Transfer addiction. Even going back as far as I could on both sides, I couldn’t find a … Continue reading Wilfred’s Apertif

Free Spirits- The Spirit of Bourbon

Finding a great zero-proof bourbon has been one of the bigger investments, and honestly, they’re pretty good overall. While the non-alcoholic bourbons of the past smelled like liquid smoke, they’ve come a long way. I tried Free Spirits Spirit of Bourbon in a 3-pack, and am not disappointed. The most important test for me is the sniff test. If it smells wrong, it just won’t … Continue reading Free Spirits- The Spirit of Bourbon

For Bitter For Worse- Eva’s Spritz

I’m a pretty tough grader. For Bitter For Worse’s Eva’s Spritz is off the charts for me. It’s tough to describe the flavor, but let me try my best. If you like an Aperol or Campari spritz, you’ll probably like this. However the flavor is distinctly it’s own. It’s not mimicking a cocktail. And it doesn’t need to. It tastes like it could be a … Continue reading For Bitter For Worse- Eva’s Spritz

Two Roots Dark Cookies Milk Stout

I was SO EXCITED to try this and so confident that I’d love it that I ordered three 6-packs right off the rip. Two Roots is my favorite N/A brand and I am desperately hoping they open a N/A tasting room in Michigan, where they do some production. One of my favorite regular beers is Rochester Mills Milkshake Stout, which is coincidentally (or not) the … Continue reading Two Roots Dark Cookies Milk Stout

Acid League- Bee Complex

I have been VERY excited to try Acid League’s Bee Complex. Acid League leans into the fact that non-alcoholic beverages can be uniquely distinct from alcoholic beverages. Rather than claiming to be N/A wines, they create unique flavors geared towards wine drinkers that are completely their own, which are comprised of artfully layered juices, teas, and vinegars. I love Mead, so I thought Bee Complex … Continue reading Acid League- Bee Complex
