The owners of York Gin have introduced a non-alcoholic spirit named York Zero. With juniper as a primary flavour, akin to gin, they suggest that York Zero is perfect for a non-alcoholic G&T, referred to as the Z&T.
York Zero is made in partnership with fellow Yorkshire makers and gold-award winners zero-alcohol specialists Bax Botanics.
It’s York Gin owners York Drinks’ first move beyond gin – available from yorkgin.com at £23 for a 70cl bottle.
The company is planning to expand its offerings to include a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in the upcoming months.
Natalie Hall of York Drinks said: “We’re genuinely thrilled with York Zero – it’s right up there with the best non-alcoholic spirits on the market and with a signature botanical of juniper it’s ideal for a non-alcohol G&T drink we call a Z&T.
“It’s actually a dream come true to partner with Bax Botanics. They’re acknowledged leaders in non-alcoholic spirits, they’re lovely people with genuine passion and commitment to sustainability – and they’re based just up the road in Wetherby. It’s a win-win-win for all of us.
“York Zero takes us on a road beyond gin. We already have some plans to expand our horizons – and we have the York Distillery opening inside the city walls. Given demand for the York Gin range is going from strength to strength, It’s shaping up to be a busy summer for York Drinks.”
Chris Bax of Bax Botanics added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with York Drinks who share so many of our values – including a commitment to sustainability. The branding and bottle look fantastic – and we couldn’t be happier with the liquid.’
And for August York Gin has partnered with the Star Inn the City in York, who have created a signature zero alcohol drink – a Mandarin Sour – starring York Zero. Try it on their stunning riverside patio.
