Busting Misconceptions About Non-Alcoholic Drinks: The Truth Behind VE Refinery Misconception 3: “Choosing and Enjoying Non-Alcoholic Drinks Means Giving up Alcohol Forever” One of the biggest misconceptions is that choosing non-alcoholic drinks means swearing off alcohol for life. This couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s all about balance and having choices. Just as you might enjoy a glass of brut champagne on one occasion, you can savour a dealcoholized wine on another. This flexibility allows you to tailor your drinking experience to your lifestyle and preferences without feeling restricted. Imagine yourself at a summer garden party, where the options include a refreshing non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a traditional cocktail. You might choose the alcohol-free option for its crisp, delightful taste that keeps you light and lively, perfect for a sunny afternoon. The non-alcoholic choice doesn’t limit you; it expands your possibilities. Victoria Banaszak, founder of VE Refinery, understands this need for balance. Her experience with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages means she knows what makes a drink truly enjoyable. This insight ensures that VE Refinery’s offerings cater to diverse palates, providing a sophisticated alternative that doesn’t compromise on flavour or experience. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance your drinking experience, whether you’re enjoying a fine dealcoholized wine at dinner or an alcohol-free cocktail at a social gathering. It’s about offering you the best of both worlds. Thomson & Scott NOUGHTY Pentire Wilfred's Feragaia The REAL Drinks Co. #alcoholfree #nonalcoholic #mocktails #switzerland

Busting Misconceptions About Non-Alcoholic Drinks: The Truth Behind VE Refinery Misconception 7: "Non-Alcoholic Drinks Must Be or Should Be Cheap” It’s easy to assume that non-alcoholic drinks should come at a bargain price, since we have been conditioned to the price of industrially made sodas and juices, but quality has its value. When you choose VE Refinery, you’re investing in premium ingredients and skilled craftsmanship. Each bottle of alcohol-free wine or botanical spirit is meticulously crafted to offer an exceptional drinking experience. Think of it as treating yourself to a fine dining experience; the cost reflects the quality and care that go into every sip. VE Refinery’s drinks are created with the same level of dedication and expertise as traditional alcoholic beverages, ensuring that every pour delivers on taste and satisfaction - and then adds another step (dealcoholization).

Tea has been around forever, but iced tea didn’t burst onto the scene and win over America’s hearts and minds until 1904. In that year, visitors to the St. Louis World’s Fair were greeted by exceedingly hot weather. Tea plantation owner and merchant Richard Blechynden, who was present at the fair, took advantage of the situation by selling chilled tea drinks (instead of hot tea) as a cold refreshment. The rest is history. 🥤🧊🍋 If you're trying to kick a soda habit or just looking for a healthier alternative to carbonated beverages, unsweetened iced tea is a great choice. It's naturally low in calories — helping you lose weight and consume less sugar. But watch out! If you load your iced tea with sugar, you'll defeat the purpose. ❓: Do you like Iced Tea? #NationalIcedTeaDay #IcedTea #ZempelInsurance #LakeMills #LakeMillsOffice #LakeMillsInsurance #IcedTeaDay #TeaHistory #HealthyBeverages #LowCalorie #TeaLovers #RefreshingDrinks #StayHydrated

Why I started Dirty Pelican… This is a picture of my local Whole Foods Market. The options for #cocktailmixers are: • #tonicwater • #seltzer • more tonic water • simple syrup (aka sugar water, literally) • basic lime margarita (w/ 25+ grams sugar) • bloody mary mix • old fashioned mix The category has evolved in 30 years to be: more tonic water. 🧐 Consumers are being forced to: • drink their spirit straight • craft their own (time consuming) • mix with tonic water • drink seltzer from a can #highnoon Dirty Pelican was started out of a need for more #sophisticated cocktail mixers, while making sure to keep our #health in mind. Our products are focused on the customer experience. Yes we care about profits, but at the end of the day, if we don’t have the best product in our bottle, that our customers love and become loyal to, why are we here? #localfoyager #northeast #eastcoast #wholefoods #timetoevolve

Hello friends family and acquaintances today is NATIONAL CARBONATED BEVERAGE WITH CAFFEINE DAY - November 19! Unique food holidays, such as National Carbonated Beverage With Caffeine Day, give us opportunities to break out of our everyday norms. On November 19th, explore the variety of carbonated beverages with caffeine. Some people cannot have caffeine due to medical reasons, and others choose to avoid caffeine as a personal choice. Then there are the millions of people who reach for the caffeine every morning and sometimes all day long. The same applies to carbonated beverages. Today's celebration combines the two of them. In 1767, Englishman Joseph Priestly suspended a bowl of distilled water above a beer vat at a local brewery in Leeds, England. His experiment led to a method of infusing water with carbon dioxide to make carbonated water. Priestly's invention of carbonated water is the major and defining component of most soft drinks. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Ninety percent of adults in North America consume caffeine daily. Some people notice sleep disruption after drinking beverages containing caffeine. Though, others see no disturbance at all. Other terms for carbonated beverages include sparkling, bubbly, or effervescent. Almost any beverage can be carbonated, though not every beverage should be carbonated. Sodas are the most common caffeinated, carbonated drinks, but some makers can add some fizz to cold-brewed coffee these days. In addition, certain sparkling waters infuse flavors and add caffeine for that extra boost. #CarbonatedBeverageWithCaffeineDay #dallasharristips

I always say if you need to sweeten your coffee, it’s probably not very good coffee. I know there are those who do. Tastes differ. But as a diabetic, I am always mindful of alternatives to using table sugar. This recent article discusses some of the natural alternatives available to sweeten your beverage. All of them spare you from resorting to artificial sweeteners. (I’m not sure why they left agave off the list. It’s a great option – especially for those who might otherwise choose honey.) How do you like your coffee? #SugarAlternatives #NaturalSweeteners #CoffeeLover #howdoyoulikeyourcoffee https://brev.is/bNItq
