24th September 2024

Nactarome’s distillation & flavor expertise solves a major challenge in the growing category of alcohol-free & low-alcohol drinks, giving the taste, depth & body that discerning consumers still expect.

The world of cocktails has transformed with the recent explosive growth of this category. Gen Z & Millennial consumers look for more sophisticated alcohol-free & low-alcohol beverages — more than just a plain alternative to cocktails. They seek a full flavor & taste experience while also prioritizing health & wellbeing. This space is sometimes referred to as the “No/Low” or “NoLo” segment, though the key focus for innovators is on truly alcohol-free & low-alcohol solutions.

The Nactarome Alcohol-Free & Low-Alcohol Mixology Kit

At Nactarome, we drew on over half a century of distillation & flavor expertise to create an Alcohol-Free & Low-Alcohol Mixology Kit, a comprehensive toolbox for mixologists that offers the full cocktail experience using naturally flavored 0.0% spirits & mixers. Our experience in extracting, distilling, blending, and aging dozens of botanical species allowed us to craft alcohol-soluble extracts that capture the rich complexity of traditional spirits and then translate those flavors into non-alcoholic alternatives. Even without alcohol, our 0.0% spirits retain the full aromatic and sensory experience.

Our water-soluble single & blended extracts keep the highest organoleptic impact of botanicals, while replicating the essence and complexity of alcohol-based drinks. Whether it’s the distinct profile of citrus, brown, or herbal notes, we ensure that the depth and richness of each botanical are preserved in a completely alcohol-free format. These versatile solutions open up endless possibilities for creating delicious, alcohol-free & low-alcohol drinks, while still providing the complexity and depth that make a cocktail such a memorable and enjoyable experience — part of a social ritual that elevates the art & craft of mixology.

Closing the Flavor Gap

The challenge today is that when alcohol is removed from the equation, a significant gap is left behind. Traditional spirits and mixers contribute not just flavor, but body, mouthfeel, and warmth. Replicating that complexity without alcohol requires more than just swapping in a soft drink. It calls for a thoughtful approach to flavor design and a deep understanding of taste and aroma perception to create a profile that mirrors the sensory experience of alcoholic beverages. Nactarome’s flavorists are experts in balancing bitterness, sweetness, acidity, and mouthfeel to deliver a sophisticated profile in alcohol-free & low-alcohol beverages. Their expertise even extends to replicating the subtle warmth and lingering finish that consumers often associate with alcohol-based drinks.

Versatility & Sophistication

The heart of our Alcohol-Free & Low-Alcohol Mixology Kit is that very versatility and sophistication. Our 0.0% spirits are expertly crafted to mimic the distinct characteristics of traditional alcoholic spirits, capturing their aromatic profiles, mouthfeel, and balance. Whether you’re looking for the botanical complexity of a gin, the smoky richness of whiskey, or the refreshing citrus punch of rum, you’ll appreciate how we’ve engineered our 0.0% spirits to deliver an authentic cocktail experience. We have paid the same attention to the mixers that also play a critical role in defining the final taste, including in our kit a selection of 0.0% mixers designed to perfectly complement our spirits. From zesty tonic waters and elderflower mixers to spiced ginger beer and bitters, our mixers allow for endless combinations — creating everything from alcohol-free classics like a G&T or Moscow Mule, to completely new concoctions that push the boundaries of flavor.
