Sample a dozen or more of the best nonalcoholic beverages selected by cocktail journalist Camper English.
Suddenly there are tons of new nonalcoholic products on the market, but at prices near $40 per bottle it can be risky to buy before you try - especially because many of them are not as good as you'd like them to be. In this guided tasting class, cocktails and spirits journalist Camper English will share his favorite selections from among the 100+ nonalcoholic spirits, canned cocktails, and other non-alcoholic products he has tried over the years.
The product emphasis for this tasting is on ready-to-drink cocktails and nonalcoholic "spirits" that have an obvious utility (such as mixing with soda water or ginger ale) or just over ice, rather than needing to make a full cocktail with them. We'll also not include very much non-alcoholic beer and wine - though you're likely to find a few of those in the tasting. Selections in the tasting include one or two products from the portfolios of Lyre's, Three Spirit, Martini & Rossi, the Pathfinder, A Cut Above, and many others!
Your instructor is Camper English of Alcademics.com. Camper is the author of Doctors and Distillers: The Remarkable Medicinal History of Beer, Wine, Spirits, and Cocktails, and The Ice Book: Cool Cubes, Clear Spheres, and Other Chill Cocktail Crafts. Camper has given dozens of talks and classes about cocktails and spirits science and history to audiences of bartenders and consumers.
Classes are limited to 12 people. Class takes place in the boardroom on the 4th floor of the Mechanics Institute Library building at Post and Market Street in the Financial District, just steps away from the Montgomery BART/MUNI station.
Note that these products meet the legal definition of nonalcoholic beverages, coming in at under .5% ABV. Some products contain bitter ingredients like wormwood and gentian, which are typically not recommended for pregnant people.
