Make this Christmas even more memorable with non-alc or low-ABV cocktails crafted with Wavelength’s Ruby Aperitif and Amber Digestif: the world’s first fermented non-alcoholic spirits. Alive with depth, these herb and botanical infusions are fermented for 30 days to create extraordinary festive gifts and cocktail serves for everyone to enjoy all winter, and through to Dry Jan too.
Fermented, infused and blended on the wild coast of Cornwall using 100% natural ingredients, Wavelength’s drinks were born from a love of flavour and passion for life. After founder Eddie Lofthouse launched Harbour Brewing Co in 2012, he started pouring his brewing expertise into other liquids, including a hard kombucha. Digging deep into the science of fermentation, he and the Wavelength team eventually turned it into joyfully delicious non-alcoholic spirits with big, weird, complex flavours and a surprising zing. Time well spent.
Give your welcome some wow with Wavelength Ruby Aperitif (hibiscus, lavender, wormwood, pink peppercorn, orange zest, and pink grapefruit zest). Wild herbal aroma is followed by a cool wave of zest and spice, before kicking back with lasting bittersweet citrus: created for fine food and great company.
And round off a Christmas celebration with Wavelength Amber Digestif (lapsang, ginger, clove, vanilla, cacao nibs, gentian root, oak). Gentle rolling smoke and spice relaxes into Amber’s signature smooth mouthfeel, then a hint of vanilla and log-fired toffee sweeps into a long, warming finish.
