Proteau's zero-proof botanical drinks came from the mind of John deBary, a former cocktail expert at Momofuku, and they stand out from other non-alcoholic beverages on the market by being ready to drink straight out of the bottle. These non-alcoholic beverages boast low-sugar botanical recipes with no preservatives that can not only be enjoyed as-is but also used to form the base of flavorful mocktails.
There's the sparkling Rivington Spritz that's full of hibiscus flavors and the Ludlow Red, a rich, dark and tannic option that combines a well-balanced mix of bitter, floral and fruit flavors. These non-alcoholic aperitifs naturally pair well with food and they promise to enhance a variety of meals.
The zero-proof botanical beverages tap into the growing non-alcoholic market and consumers' desire for mindful drinking experiences that don't compromise on flavor.
