QUICK QUOTES:
"I was asked: “Not all alcohol-free drinks taste good, do they, Denise?” And you know what the honest answer is—no, absolutely not. But just like not all full-strength wines are winners, not all beers are brilliant, not all teas are tolerable, not even all pizzas are perfect, the same goes for alcohol-free drink options."
It’s time for some uncomfortable truths about alcohol-free drinks. This episode might make me a little unpopular in the industry, but that’s ok because it needs to be said: Not all alcohol-free drinks are good!
After being asked this very question during my BBC Radio Xtra debut, I was inspired to share this episode and explore with you why some low/no options fall short. But to keep the balance, it’s not all bad, I’m still sharing the love, but only after some real honesty.
