From Vibrant Orange Citrus to Earthy Juniper: Why Amplify Is A Perfect Non-Alcoholic Drink
We love bitter flavours and we love juniper too. So when choosing the ingredients for our non-alcoholic drink, these flavours often come into play. Whether with tonic for a perfect serve or in a cocktail, bitter fruits and juniper provide the perfect complexity and depth.
With the global gin market being valued at $14.03 billion in 2020, many people are on the hunt for the perfect non-alcoholic gin.
If you are one of those people, it’s your lucky day!
This April, JOMO showcased Amplify, a non-alcoholic distilled spirit, using orange citrus, lemon, ginseng, juniper and lemongrass. This creates a botanical sensation that smells of sweet orange and tastes of bittersweet citrus. The juniper and lemongrass adds a layer of earthy notes with a slightly bitter taste, similar to gin.
Do you love a simple ‘ready-to-drink’ option?
With the ready-to-drink market also booming, Amplify have created a canned version with their Amplify distilled non-alcoholic spirit and Mediterranean tonic. At 65 calories, these are perfect for picnics this Summer, garden drinking, on the go or to pour over ice if you don’t have any mixers in the house.
Do you love mixing up your drink for the perfect ritual?
If canned drinks aren’t for you and you like making your drinks from scratch, Amplify have you covered there too. Wonderful over ice topped with tonic or indeed in cocktails too which we share with you below.
The artwork on Amplify’s bottles showcase the taste sensation when sipping on a glass. Artist Sophie Abbot explains ‘I’m in my element with a lot of deep blue and the combination of citrus yellow, green and orange just fizzling around the edges. I used high pigment paint so the colours were intense and by creating lots of layers and glazes, I created a powerful depth to the painting’.
