What Was Inside the Alcohol-Free May JOMO Box
Two Bank Holidays and I think the fastest month to date! Where on earth did time go? Is it because we’re out and about doing things again or perhaps the nicer weather with more time outside meant we had more varied days and therefore time disappeared? Either way, what a lovely month it was having a few long weekends to rest and recover.
This month we are moving into spritz season. Picture this…outside, with a BBQ and a beautifully refreshing, yet complex spritz in hand. We’ve got you covered.
JOMO Club’s Alcohol-Free May Box
Full Bottle Of Everleaf Forest
With layers of citrus and spices, Everleaf Forest brings a complex and vibrant non-alcoholic spirit perfect for spritz season.
We had the absolutely pleasure of sipping this in the sunshine as we think the sun came out to mark JOMO Club delivery day!
Double Dutch
Skinny Tonic and Margarita Soda with Chilli
Our favourite sisters Raissa and Joyce De Haas are back and this time we get to showcase the wonderful Margarita Soda one of our personal favourites and the Skinny Tonic - simplistically perfect to pair with any non-alcoholic spirit.
The tonic is low in sugar and not overpowering , while the Margarita has a wonderful kick!
We also enjoy the Italian Margarita which is 50ml of APRTF topped with Margarita Soda. Oh, and a salt rim of course.
May’s Perfect Serve
Spritz season is upon us and we are kicking things off with a bang!
50ml Everleaf Forest in a wine glass filled with ice, topped with Double Dutch Skinny Tonic and garnished with orange (a wedge of or dried orange).
Bemuse
Raspberry Sparkling Mead
Gorgeous on its own but the perfect pairing for this months’ spirit! It feels like an absolute match made in heaven. On its own, simply serve chilled and learn how to make the cocktail below!
Bemuse have created a non-alcoholic mead for the modern drinker.
Allotment Drinks
Barbarilla Soda
Created from the beauty found in the British garden, the Barbarilla Soda is made from rhubarb and anise. Enjoyed chilled on its own or with this months’ non-alcoholic spirit, this soda is unique, natural and showcases our countryside.
J’aime
Jasmine Silver Needle Kombucha
We are bringing in this months’ JOMO Box another kombucha as we, quite frankly, are obsessed with kombucha’s gut boosting benefits and varied flavours.
This kombucha is dry with the silver needle tea shining through. It can be enjoyed chilled on its own or included in cocktails as a replacement for sparkling non-alcoholic wine.
Cocktail of the Month
Summer’s Muse
This bittersweet cocktail has varying layers of depth coming from Everleaf’s alcohol-free aperitif balanced by the sweet tones of Bemuse’s Raspberry Mead.
50ml Everleaf over ice topped up with Bemuse’s Raspberry Sparkling Mead, garnished with pink peppercorns.
The Zest Co.
Orange Garnish and Pink Peppercorns
The only garnish for a Summer spritz! These highlight the flavours in your drink and are perfectly dried for a large, juicy garnish.
We Are Boundless
Chipotle and Lime Activated Chips
Gut health is important for almost everything! Healthy gut contains healthy bacteria and immune cells that fight infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. A healthy gut also talks to the brain through hormones and nerves which helps maintain general health and well-being.
These chips are activated to support with gut health and on top taste blimmin’ well delicious!
SPARE
Apple Crisps
Not only are these crisps 100% natural and delicious for on the go snacking, but they also create the most incredible garnish for your cocktails. If you have a Genie Drinks Apple Kombucha from the April Box, pop one of these bad boys on top!
May’s ingredient card and 20 page members magazine explained how best to make the non-alcoholic cocktails from the box and included further cocktail inspiration.
