Spare a thought for the non-drinkers and designated drivers who’ll be attending your wedding, writes Dawn Stafford.
In years past, they were offered flutes of orange juice – imagine spilling that on your dress or white shirt! – or more recently, Elderflower pressé (equally sticky.)
But these days there’s plenty of other options so they won’t have to drink the same as the wee ones, or have their beverage choice be the topic of conversation.
Sipsmith Gin has launched an alcohol-free spirit, Freeglider, that can be served with a tonic water, or as a spritz or cocktail, and it’s delicious!
This is an adult-tasting drink, crafted with juniper, citrus, and capsicum to replicate the warmth you’d sense from a G&T, and it’s perfect for the drinks reception, toast, or as a refreshing long drink after the dancefloor.
You can easily find a range of non-alcoholic champagne and prosecco alternatives these days and most venues will be happy to add some bottles for your toast.
Other alcohol-free drinks to consider include Scotland’s first non-alcoholic spirit Feragaia and Leith-based Jump Ship Brewing’s Yardarm gluten-free and alcohol-free lager.
