Product Information

Alcohol free cider has about half the calories of a typical alcoholic cider. So, give alcohol free cider a try and let us know what you think. 2. Is alcohol-free cider really alcohol-free? Smashed Apple Cider from alcohol-free brewers Drynks is everything you want a cider to be – with or without the booze. In 2021, the brand was awarded gold supreme champion at the World Cider Awards and got the gold in the International Beer and Cider Challenge – and it’s easy to see why. Having invested in a pioneering, alcohol-free brewery, Drynks is one of the only British beverage businesses to be able to remove alcohol from standard alcoholic craft beer, lager and cider thanks to its state-of-the-art distillation plant and investment has certainly paid off when it comes to taste. The Smashed range uses the finest British ingredients to create authentic tasting beers and ciders and then the alcohol is gently removed in a low impact cool vacuumed environment which maintains the same bubbly, personality, character and flavour of the full alcohol version. All Smashed drinks are vegan, gluten free (where possible), low in sugar and contain less than 100 calories. Drynks Unlimited owns the first and currently only Cool Vacuum Distill (CVD) unit in the UK, based in Manchester.

Blanc de Blanc refers to sparkling wines made in the Champagne region that only use white grapes – many champagnes use red Pinot Noir grapes – and this makes for an elegant and refined style of wine. This alcohol-free version is no different. Made using exclusively Chardonnay grapes, which are then aged briefly in oak barrels, this wine has a nose of orchard fruits and more green apples on the palate. Though missing the tell-tale toastiness of champagne, pleasing tasting notes are still present: it tastes special. Great to enjoy as a celebratory aperitif or when you just want to treat yourself. Creative brand expert Mark Harrison, former MD of Cheetham Bell Manchester and Global Business Lead at Mother London, has joined Manchester alcohol-free brewer, DRYNKS Unlimited as Brand Partner to spearhead an acceleration of its alcohol-free brand SMASHED. Richard’s vision: “Our mission is to create a portfolio of alcohol-free brands that deliver an ethically sourced, authentic, natural taste that will let drinkers forget that they aren’t drinking something alcoholic. We are the only UK drinks business to invest in a state-of-the-art cool vacuumed distillation kit that gently dealcoholises full-strength drinks. This produces delicious alcohol-free drinks that taste just as good as a quality alcoholic version.” They start with great tasting, fully alcoholic Beer and Cider. The Oxygen-free vacuum chamber enables them to gently heat the liquid for just a few minutes.
