Abstinence never tasted so good.
Winner of a Gold Medal at the Spirits Business No and Low Masters 2021, Abstinence Blood Orange Apéritif provides all the bittersweet richness and complexity of flavour you’d get with classic Italian-style bitter, but without the alcohol. It’s crafted from an infusion of natural botanicals, including lots of blood orange, cinchona bark, all spice, clove and, for a unique South African touch, African wormwood. Combine it with Harvey Nichols Alcohol-Free Sparkling Chardonnay to create an abstemious spritz, or mix it into a low-ABV cocktail, such as a Negroni. To say it contains no alcohol, this vegan-friendly tipple is super punchy, with powerful orange, bitter peels and a warming pepperiness.
The team at Abstinence creates alcohol-free spirits inspired by the biodiversity of the Cape Floral Region in the Western Cape, South Africa. Although small, it’s the most diverse floral kingdom on the planet. For those who haven’t visited this wonderland, it’s buzzing with life and bursting with colour, much like Abstinence’s premium distilled non-alcoholic spirits. Electronic DJ turned full-time distiller, James Copeland, uses an artisanal hydro distillation process, a truckload of South African botanicals and a splash of mad-scientist alchemy to create multi-award-winning spirits, just sans booze.
Abstinence pursues a ‘Bees and Biomes’ policy. They contribute one percent of their sales to protecting and restoring the fynbos (the belt of diverse natural vegetation), which is home to the indigenous Cape Honeybee. For them, it’s all about “restoring balance”, which is a fine motto when it comes to drinking too. So, whether you’re trying to cut down for health reasons, looking for a gift for a non-drinker or designated driver, or just wanting to add something a little more inclusive to your drinks cabinet, then try a little Abstinence.
