BEVERAGES
CleanCo is a gorgeous non-alcoholic spirit to add to your bar cart this season. Their stunning bottles are the first eye-catching appeal to this product before you even get a taste of the spirit!
These completely clean, yet full-strength flavoured spirits make for a great holiday celebration drink without the guilt. The no-alcohol combinations allow you to enjoy the taste of spirits without compromising on the mouthfeel and taste of a fabulous seasonal cocktail. CleanCo has launched quite a few spirits to choose from, including Clean T (Tequila), Clean G (Gin), Clean R (Dark Rum), and Clean V Spiced Apple (Flavored Vodka).
KAYTEA is a fabulous tea brand that has everything from latte bundles (including matcha, turmeric and beetroot) to make on a cozy winters night, to pre-made sparking iced teas that can be made to use as a great mixer for your holiday cocktails or simply to enjoy on their own!
Though all their iced teas were certainly a joy to the palate, my favourite beverage had to be the Sparkling Rosé. This bubbling beverage was made with a lovely rose infusion along with pink guava flavour which was an absolute treat and kept me craving another bottle!

Maybe a dairy-free White Russian… or for those having an alcohol-free holiday, simply use one of these dairy-free options like the classic almond or oat beverage to make a tasty hot chocolate.
