12 Days of Non-Alcoholic Christmas Cocktails
A delicious selection of festive non alcoholic cocktails to try this season!
The Christmas season is upon us and there’s no better way to enjoy it than with a cocktail in hand.
We created a 12 days of Christmas cocktail campaign (featuring non-alcoholic cocktail recipes) for our client Sentia Spirits, a non-alcoholic functional spirit brand.
Sentia Spirits are a complex blend of botanicals that are designed to enhance your mood and give you a two-drink ‘sweet spot’.
The range includes:
Sentia red - Sweet aromatics, rich herbal complexity and sumptuous bittersweet, spiced berries.
Sentia black - Spiced pepper warmth, and a smooth, smoky finish for the ultimate GABA-stimulating experience.
These mocktails are perfect for non-drinkers who want to participate in the drinking experience during Christmas without compromising on taste, mood and style.
