About
Every so often my feed devolves to people complaining about the creativity and/or price of NA cocktails. I’m not sure if it is engagement bait or simply not understanding. Non-alcoholic cocktails take just as much care to craft as their boozy counterparts, and the ingredients—like quality syrups, fresh juices, or non-alcoholic spirits—can be just as pricey. The goal is to create a thoughtful, well-balanced drink, and that effort is reflected in the price. This is a simple riff on a classic Painkiller I created using a local non-alcoholic botanical gin (Ginnocence).Cheers y'all!
