Leading UK hospitality business Whitbread and non-alcoholic spirits brand Strykk are teaming up to bring alcohol-free cocktails to consumers across the nation. Strykk cocktails will be on the menu at Whitbread's two steakhouse brands (Beefeater and Bar + Block) with options including: the Not Vanilla Vodka Pornstar, the Not Vanilla Vodka Espresso Martini and the Not Rum Strawberry Daiquiri. These additions to the Remove the Alcohol section satisfy consumers' desire for accessible, flavor-focused non-alcoholic offerings.
"Our customers’ lifestyle choices are evolving fast," says Whitbread’s Head of Food & Beverage Development, Chris Seaby. "People are becoming more discerning when it comes to what drinks they are choosing and want us to provide an engaging non-alcoholic portfolio of serves which meets their needs and allows them the choice to enjoy their drinking experience minus the alcohol."
