Bel Nada is a new, premium, alcohol-free aperitif brand crafted to appeal to consumers who want flavorful serves and no-compromise experiences that make it easy to partake in social rituals without alcohol.
Bel Nada was born out of Rebecca Coombe's sober-curious journey, a redeveloped relationship with alcohol and a frustrating lack of elevated, alcohol-free options in Switzerland. Over 18 months of collaboration went into working with award-winning Swiss drinks developers on the brand's debut collection, which includes options that are aromatic and floral, alpine-inspired, and tropical and spiced. Le Botanique, for instance, is a gin alternative with juniper, Swiss pine and herbal botanicals, while L’Épicé works well in richer, warmer serves in place of rum.
