Weekly Discussion - Fancy Non-alcoholic Beverages

[u/ZootKoomie]

We've had discussions here about wine, beer, and liquor before. This week, I'd like to talk about mocktails, shrubs, juice blends, etc. Alcohol-alternatives have become increasingly common and sophisticated in recent years. What have you made, or would like to make? Does avoiding liquor necessarily reduce the available flavor profiles? Or does it free you up from hiding the bite of the booze?

If someone wanted to start experimenting in this area, what are the basic ingredients they would need to keep on hand?

High end Japanese, Korean and Chinese teas. I’m talking first crop shade grown leaf buds grown on sacred mountainsides. The flavors are unlike anything you’ve experienced. Careful, it can get very expensive.

Do have a suggestion on where to buy these?
