As we reach the end of Sober October, we thought we’d highlight another non-alcoholic spirit. One that is not only delicious but it’s very good for your overall health and well-being. It boasts lots of vitamin E, antioxidants, and other nutrients. We had the pleasure of getting acquainted with this zero-proof spirit at The New York Coffee Festival. The Pathfinder Hemp & Root is a fermented and distilled liquid with a spirit’s intense flavor and aromatic characteristics, with none of the harmful effects of alcoholic beverages.
Similar to an amaro (known for bittersweet flavors rounded out by citrus and spice), The Pathfinder Hemp & Root performs well in hot or iced coffee beverages, mocktails, or cocktails, and can even be enjoyed on its own. This ingenious spirit is fermented from hemp and carefully refined by copper pot distillation. The base liquid is then blended with an alchemy of wormwood, angelica root, ginger, sage, juniper, saffron, orange peel, and wild-crafted Douglas-fir, as well as natural terpenes, to yield a revolutionary spirit of both character and complexity. The Pathfinder smells like a spirit, tastes like a spirit, and mixes like a spirit. So you can enjoy your favorite cocktails without the hangover and none of the headaches.
Hemp & Root is inspired by the age of apothecaries and the homemade remedies often employed by pioneers, homesteaders, and snake oil salesmen alike. It raises the standard of flavor and quality in non-alcoholic spirits with an eye to the future. Whether you’re trying to be alcohol-free for a month, once in a while, or forever, you’ll love this delicious and enjoyable non-alcoholic option.
