3 Summer Patio Drinks with Alcohol-free Spirits

Alcohol-free Gin & Tonic with Sobrii

Swapping out your boozy G&T for this one won’t leave you feeling left out. The flavour and the quality of this Ontario-made alcohol-free gin elevates this mix with it’s juniper and ginsing blend. This is one of the simplest drinks for a hot summer patio!

Ingredients

1.5 oz Sobrii alcohol-free gin
Tonic Water
Juice from 1/2 Lime
Ice

Add Sobrii, lime and ice to a glass, and top with tonic water. Stir and enjoy!

Alcohol-free Italian Spritz

This drink is a little less accessible for the everyday consumer, but worth the splurge. Australian company Lyre’s has created an alcohol-free Italian ‘aperol’ bitter, for your spritz base and there are plenty of high-quality alcohol-free sparkling wines to use. We’re using Noughty organic sparkling Chardonnay in this recipe. It’s a dead ringer for the boozy version of this popular patio drink!

Italian Spritz

3oz. Lyre’s Italian Spritz
3 oz. Noughty Sparkling Chardonnay
Splash of club soda

Add all ingredients over ice, stir and enjoy!

Alcohol-free Sangria

Adding fruit and bubbles to alcohol-free wine elevates any experience to be inclusive and delicious! This is an easy way to serve up ice cold Sangria quickly and inexpensively.

Alcohol-free SAngria

1 bottle of alcohol-free red wine
1 can of orange or grapefruit sparkling water or soda (preferably soda)
1/2 bottle of alcohol-free sparkling wine
1 orange cut into piece
Juice from 1/2 orange (fresh squeezed)
1 peach, cut up
6 - 8 strawberries

Add the fruit to the bottom of a pitcher, and squeeze the juice from 1/2 an orange. Quarter the orange to make it easier to squeeze. Using a wooden spoon or cocktail muddler, press the fruit gently to release the juices. Pour in the wine and chill in the fridge for a few hours. This allows the fruit to infuse into the wine. When ready to serve, pour in the can of soda and the alcohol-free sparkling wine. Top with slices of orange and lemon, for decoration.
