Our conversation continues with Beverage Director Emily Nevin-Giannini on her thoughts about Dry January. Q: Are cocktails without alcohol still cocktails? A: They can be, but they have to be approached as cocktails & not just mixed juice as some “mocktails” often are. An NA cocktail can be just as complex, nuanced, and thoughtfully crafted as those with alcohol, but they have to be designed intentionally to balance the elements that are absent. Take our Tea Time, for example. We use concentrated Earl Grey tea for its tannic depth to balance the tangy blueberry shrub, and we add aquafaba to give it some body. Together, these elements create the complexity, structure, and depth you’d expect from a spirit-forward cocktail. (Aquafaba is the liquid from chickpeas—vegan and sustainable since it repurposes an ingredient that might otherwise be wasted.) #barcelonawinebar #alcoholfree #dryjanuary

While volume growth has slowed, the value has surged, driven by a consumer shift towards premium ingredients. Spirit-based options like hard seltzers and pre-mixed cocktails are leading this trend. RTDs are expected to continue gaining market share in the alcoholic beverage sector, even surpassing beer and wine in certain consumption settings. As this market evolves, it’s time to explore how your brand can tap into the growing demand for premium RTDs.
