Unlock the Experience: How to Taste Ecology & Co. Products

We believe that tasting our products should be a real experience, an exploration of flavours on your own terms and at your own pace. Whether you’re new to the world of alcohol-free spirits or are an experienced drinker looking for something different, here are some tips to help you make the most of your tasting experience.

1. Start Simple: Choose a product that is familiar to you, like our London Dry or Asian Spice spirit, and use this as the base for your exploration into drinking alcohol-free.
2. How to drink: Our botanical distillations are not intended to be sipped alone. They are best enjoyed alongside a quality light tonic or soda, with the addition of water and bubbles bringing the flavours and aromas to life. Without this, the blends may come across as flat.
3. Get Ready: Prepare yourself for the experience by tasting with clean, neutral flavours such as soda water or a light tonic.  This will help you to hone in on the subtleties of each product, and the choice of a light tonic won’t dull the flavours with layers of sugar.
4. Not too much: Some customers have found the spirits to be strong and that by using less, they enjoyed their drink more. Everyone’s palate is different, so don’t think someone else’s measure is right for you. Start small and add as you go.
5. Think About Temperature: Serve our drinks cold, over ice, with a complementary mixer that lends itself to the flavours and bouquet of the spirit. This will help you bring out the full flavour of each product without masking the botanicals.
6. Take Your Time: You don’t have to rush through the tasting process. Allow yourself time to think about what you are experiencing and enjoy it fully!
7. Note What You Taste: Take some time to note down what you experience, whether it is subtle citrus notes, the spiciness of cardamom, the sweetness of cassia cinnamon, or traditional juniper pine notes. This will help you remember what you liked and disliked about each product, as well as allow you to explore other products with similar flavours.
8. Experiment: Remix!  Try different mixers, juices, or teas—whatever it is that works for you! Have fun, and most of all, enjoy the experience!

We want to make sure that your tasting experience is enjoyable and memorable. Follow these steps, and you’ll be able to unlock the full flavour of each product, helping you find your perfect match!
