Thanks Joe! I've never actually heard of non-alcoholic spirits. Is that a thing? Most "mocktails" are actually designed without the alcohol and can be awesome. Check out these 3 videos (and the bonus Patreon at the end) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfxDK9Z5_No" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfxDK9Z5_No</a>
I must confess, it was this video and the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster vid that made me want to be a Patreon, in particular the bonus video that follows going into the history of the julep, I really wanted to see that. Thank you so much. I wanted to get your opinion on using non-alcoholic "alcohols" in cocktails, with things like bourbon and gin, that give the flavour but none of the actual alcohol. Thoughts?
