Tasty news not to be missed.
Burst mocktails
No need today to look for non-alcoholic cocktails: they are everywhere! However, when we learn that a range of local mocktails is produced by a trio made up of a master distiller, a roaster and oenologist as well as a winemaker and electrical mechanic, it arouses our curiosity. So here is Encanette, a new Quebec brand of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink drinks based in Louiseville which has been offering, since the fall of 2022, a series of eight mocktails in various flavors: white or rosé sangria, mojito, amaretto, Tom Collins, gin and tonic, Sex on the Beach and rum punch. Whether you’re a fan of classics or nostalgic for your last vacation in the South, it’s a safe bet that you’ll find what you’re looking for among these vegan, gluten-free sparkling drinks made from natural flavors.
Cocktail flavored teas
Perhaps you have already enjoyed a mixture of cocktails and teas. But you probably don’t know teas that taste the same as cocktails! This is the bet that David’s Tea has taken on, with a choice of three sugar-free, vegan teas made from natural ingredients. You can enjoy a gin and tonic made with green tea, liquorice roots, juniper berries (like the original), lemongrass and orange zest. You can also set your sights on La vida coco, a preparation containing mate, a “superherb”, goji berries, a superfruit, in addition to coconut and hibiscus. Finally, it is possible to enjoy a kind of espresso Martini, the Coffee Pu’erh, containing pu’erh tea, coffee beans and vanilla. To discover !
Raise a toast… without alcohol
Discovered thanks to the first online store in Quebec specializing in alcohol-free products, Apéro à Zero, TÖST is a sparkling drink with 0% alcohol. It is as much a desire as a little sparkling wine! It also comes in a 750 ml bottle. Of American origin, TÖST is available in two versions: a golden one containing white tea, white cranberry and ginger; and a second dew that highlights elderberry. Obviously, all the ingredients of this drink are natural, and the care taken in its preparation makes it a good candidate for festive toasts.
