Abstinence Premium Non-Alcholic Aperitif is the perfect, guilt-free appetiser to kickstart any meal or social occasion.

An infusion of natural botanicals, Cinchona Bark and most significantly African Wormwood, the latter providing a unique South African spin. A mouth-watering apetizer for a guilt free Spritz or low ABV cocktail

Brand

Abstinence: Restore Balance.  Inspired by the biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom, Abstinence is a range of sophisticated, layered, complex non-alcoholic spirits, made using an artisanal single batch distillation process.

The Distilling Process:
A non-alcoholic spirit? Yes. The first big myth is that distillation produces alcohol. It does not: Fermentation produces alcohol. Distillation is simply a method of extraction—a process by which you can capture flavour. Our distiller is the multi-talented and serially creative James. International electronic DJ-turned full time distiller, James has always had a fascination with the alchemy inherent in the creation of finely crafted, quality products.

Tasting Note

Classic Italian-style bitter with a dominant blood orange citrus note,
supported by an infusion of natural botanicals. A mouth-watering, bittersweet mouthfeel.

Absolutely best AF bitter

This is such a great, refreshing, drink. It is my absolute go-to drink. I drink it with a dash of organic grapefruit juice, soda and lots of ice!

A Grown Up Drink!

I feel so fancy when I pour this into a beautiful glass with ice and a pretty orange or mint garnish. I've tried it with bitter lemon, tonic, lemonade and soda - all excellent mixers, but bitter lemon is the winner (I love the bitter!). A perfect grown up drink for when everyone else is having something fancy with alcohol in it and you don't want to feel left out!
