Most people don't know this when they're looking to take a break from alcohol, You can still get the same great taste, without the long list of negatives. The joy of realising you can enjoy the drink you love while still prioritising your health and well-being! Sound too good to be true? That's because of the BS myth that alcohol-free drinks don’t provide the same experience as alcoholic drinks. When in reality, many alcohol-free beverages are crafted to provide a similar sensory experience to alcoholic drinks, including taste, aroma, and presentation.

The future of socialising is changing rapidly, and mindful moderation is leading the way. As Speciality Food Magazine highlights (link below), the rise of low and no-alcohol options isn’t just a trend—it’s a lifestyle shift - consumers are seeking healthier, more sophisticated choices. We see that firsthand at Noot Drinks Co. with our biggest sales month ever. KAM Insight’s 2024 report shows that 1 in 4 UK adults are moderating their alcohol intake, and a staggering 4.7 million Brits are now drinking half of what they used to. That’s a MASSIVE shift. The article also points to the future of functional drinks—those that deliver an experience. At Noot, we’re proud to be pioneering that charge. Many non-alcoholic options focus on substitution, but we’re about delivering a true experience. That’s why we created Noot—to offer Non-Alc consumers something better. A drink with purpose. Powered by our trademarked nootropic blend, Noot enhances mood, boosts sociability, and creates a sense of euphoria—just like alcohol—without the hangover. Or better yet, the buzz without the booze. Noot isn’t just a substitute; it’s Non-Alc 2.0 #MindfulDrinking #FunctionalDrinks #NoAndLo #Noot #BuzzWithoutTheBooze Nikki RomansGareth Whittle Christian Barton Kerry Hughes #zebrastriping #beverages #functionaldrinks https://lnkd.in/gk9aTUGY

🍻 Heard of booking-ending? 🥂 Or maybe, zebra-striping? 🍹 Moderation tactics EXPLAINED below: Have you done any of these? Thanks to MERCIECA for highlighting our recent research Low+No 2024: Drinking Differently, in partnership with Lucky Saint | B Corp™ which found 3-in-4 UK drinkers are currently actively moderating their alcohol consumption... BUT that's not keeping them away from the on-trade! Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eJKT9BZU Zebra-striping got a few mentions at last week's Club Soda conference last week! Historically seen as the reserve of designated drivers, we’re now seeing a significant number of people incorporating alcohol-free drinks into occasions they are ALSO drinking alcohol. Our research found... 🍻 A quarter of UK adults are ‘zebra striping’ on every pub visit 🍷 44% say they're likely to start the night with a low or non-alcoholic drink 🍸 54% say if they start with an alcohol-free drink they're likely to drink less alcohol in total and therefore more likely to stay out for longer Just because customers are moderating it doesn't necessarily mean they're cutting down on the number of drinks being consumed, it’s just the mix of drinks that is changing.

Another week, another wave of news about Millennials and Gen Z shaking up global drinking habits. Christian Barton recently shared a fascinating insight on 'Zebra-Striping'—the rising trend of switching between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for a more balanced night out. Meanwhile, The Sydney Morning Herald dedicated an entire page to Ireland's plummeting alcohol consumption while the demand for functional beverages—drinks that do more than quench your thirst—is soaring. This isn't a passing trend—it's a full-scale revolution in consumption transforming the drinks industry worldwide. Remember Blockbuster? They ignored the streaming revolution and paid the price. Today, traditional liquor companies and retailers face the same looming threat—refuse to adapt, and irrelevance isn’t just possible; it’s inevitable. After two decades in the drinks industry, I’ve seen how alcohol can make social occasions fun and uplifting—until the morning after! Most non-alcoholic options, except for a few standout brands, have felt a little uninspiring, focusing on substitution over experience, often without care for ingredients. We wanted to change that—bringing alcohol’s social energy into the non-alcoholic space—without the hangover and with ingredients designed for the next generation of consumers. Enter Noot Drinks Co, the Netflix to Blockbuster. Our trademarked nootropic blend boosts mood, drives sociability, and delivers euphoria—all without alcohol. Noot is the Buzz Without the Booze: low in calories, zero sugar, gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and made with natural ingredients. It's far more than a substitute. This is Non-Alc 2.0, and Noot is ready to lead the way.

Worry-free Coffee Consumption ! I found this article interesting! I am not much of a coffee drinker because of concerns that it could raise blood pressure….and I tend to worry about tons of professionals who take coffee to remain alert. Then, I saw this article. It’s quite interesting that it negates my thoughts and opens the door for free-worry coffee consumption. So, for all coffee lovers, drink on!!💃🏻💃🏻✨✨✨ #coffee #proffesional https://lnkd.in/ge2Q7pvC

It seems it’s not a phase: Is Gen Z breaking up with booze? Gen Z appears to be taking a firm stance against the drinking culture that dominated previous generations. This younger group is viewing alcohol through a new lens, prioritising wellness, mental health, and experiences. Self-care isn’t just a buzzword for Gen Z; it’s a lifestyle. With a heightened awareness of how alcohol impacts their mental and physical health, many are embracing sober socialising. So, how can operators adapt to this cultural shift and create engaging experiences beyond alcohol? 👉 Elevate your non-alcoholic menu: Say goodbye to lemonade and hello to creatively crafted mocktails. Fancy a lavender spritz or a hibiscus cooler? Gen Z does! 👉 The alternative drinks rule: From gourmet milkshakes and cold brews to kombucha, create Instagrammable, over-the-top milkshakes with vibrant toppings, or offer a rotating selection of speciality drinks to satisfy this generation’s craving for something unique.
