Non-alcoholic Elixirs & Aperitifs

Alcohol-free elixirs & aperitifs, as we understand them, are not thin distillates and not products de-alcoholized afterwards. They arise from craftsmanship, not from removal or simple substitution.

Their depth comes from maceration, distillation and – depending on the recipe – also fermentation. Botanicals, woods and spices are extracted, distilled or smoked in several steps until structure and tension are present in the glass: bitterness, acidity, warmth, length.

This is how independent and alternative elixirs with character are created – built from herbs, fruits and wood, not from alcohol. Sometimes earthy and dark, sometimes fresh and citrusy, sometimes dry and spicy. Designed for rituals that endure – and drinks that show attitude.
