In the Lower‐Alcohol (26% to 30% ABV) round, Beefeater Botanics Lemon & Ginger walked away with an impressive Gold medal. MOUNTAIN and light tonic is a deliciously aromatic non-alcoholic alternative to a pink gin or glass of rose wine.The data came from IWSR’s No‐ and Low‐ Alcohol Strategic Study, which looked at 10 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, South Africa, Spain, the UK and the US. In terms of volume, the low‐and-no sector rose by 7% in the regions in 2022. The figures are testament to the ongoing consumer interest in low‐and‐no products. The most common process of making no and low ABV spirits is, actually, very similar to that used for alcoholic spirits — hence the similar price tag.

Created to be paired with rum, Tequila or whisky (alcoholic or otherwise), or enjoyed on its own, this Gold medal-winning ginger beer from Gossip Girl star Blake Lively’s mixer brand offers the clean, fresh taste of ginger with just the right balance of spice. Furthermore, it was praised for having a “delicious balance of sweetness with a lovely, lingering aftertaste.” For the perfect low-ABV serve, pair this with San Pellegrino Blood Orange to create a simple yet effective Garibaldi.

The judges also awarded 12 Gold medals in this heat. Four Pillars Bloody Bandwagon was one of the Gold winners, enjoyed for its “sweet, red‐berry” nose, with a “good level of dryness and complexity on the palate – even when mixed with tonic water”. Seedlip Spice also found favour with the judges, winning a Gold medal. Tasting notes included: “Clove oil, cinnamon, and warming Christmas spices.”
