ALCOHOL-FREE APERITIFS

Gordon’s Alcohol Free 0.0% 70cl, £17.66, Amazon

Made using the finest distilled botanicals, the suggested serve is 50ml Gordon’s over ice, topped with 250ml tonic and a wedge of lime. Very convincing, chances are you’ll be back for a second and it’s so characterful, a great go-to when you want to pace yourself further down the line.

Warner’s Pink Berry – 0% Botanic Garden Spirits 50cl, £18, Warner’s Distillery

Warner’s Pink Berry will appeal to lovers of pink gin and anyone who enjoys the fruity, tangy taste of a raspberry-infused drink. Wonderfully vibrant with a floral sweetness and combination of raspberry, strawberry and blackcurrant flavours, touches of sweet spice and ginger on the finish, Warner’s Pink is a natural winner.

Everleaf Forest Non-alcoholic 50cl, £18, Everleaf

We’ve singled out Everleaf Forest for its deliciously moreish bittersweet and refreshingly complex flavour profile. With layers of citrus and spice, it’s an intricate blend of 14 bittersweet botanicals, including sweet orange blossom, Madagascan vanilla, earthy vetiver and spicy cassia bark.

Martini Vibrante NonAlcoholic Aperitif 75cl, £8, Sainsbury’s

Beautifully balanced with enticing notes of bergamot, and made with the same wines as Martini’s classic vermouths, the alcohol is ‘gently removed and naturally infused with a selection of sustainably sourced botanicals’ in this ace interpretation. Enjoy equal parts Martini Vibrante and tonic with a slice of orange for lots of guilt-free, flavoursome fun.
