Clear Dairy-Free Cream Liqueurs

Wild-Arbor is a Honey-Sweetened Clear Spirit with a Rich Mouthfeel

A handful of brands are now producing dairy-free cream liqueurs and Waitrose is offering a unique take on a classic spirit that's not only plant-based and dairy-free but also clear. Wild-Arbor is gluten-free, lactose-free and sweetened with honey, and although it is as clear as water, it is said to have the same rich texture as cream liqueur.

Wild-Arbor was created to help meet the demand for plant-based dairy-free products in a creative way and prove that classic drinks can be modernized in an innovative way. The spirit can be enjoyed neat, with ice, enhanced with fresh ingredients or served in a cocktail.

Outside of the alcohol industry, some beverage brands are creating creamy, dairy-inspired drinks that are also clear as a main selling point.
