Noot crafts ready-to-pour non-alcoholic spirits that are infused with nootropics and adaptogens for feel-good, full-flavor drinking experiences that fit virtually every occasion. While Noot's Green Apple Whiskey alternative tends to shine in quieter, more contemplative moments, the Aperitivo Italiano feels at home in livelier, social settings—pre-dinner gatherings, rooftop happy hours, or any occasion that calls for something bright and appetite-awakening.
Founded in Australia and launched in the United States, Noot is now entering the UK market through distributor Proof Drinks. Consumers in the UK are seeking out sophisticated, mood-boosting beverages that fit a moderation-led lifestyle and deliver a sense of elevation, calm, or social ease without a drop of alcohol. Although Noot's flavorful, ready-to-pour spirits shine on the rocks or with a favorite mixer, they can also be incorporated into cocktails for a boost of functional benefits.
