Borrago is alcohol, sugar and calorie free and claims to have a ‘heady nose with a complex and layered flavour with a long, smooth finish’.
Founded by entrepreneur Tom Tuke-Hastings, the drink is made from six different steam-distilled botanicals and can be used with basic mixers like tonic water, or used as a base for cocktails.
“Non-alcoholic drinks choices have previously been seen as childish, sugar laden and downmarket,” said Tuke-Hastings.
“I set out to create something sophisticated, that you can celebrate and even show off with. Where you can have the theatre of a cocktail without the alcohol, sugar or calories.”
Diageo’s Seedlip was the first recognised alcohol-free spirit, which launched in late 2015 and now a competitive market is beginning to emerge.
