Australia’s first Zero Proof Festival featuring non-alcoholic craft cocktails

Have you been drinking too much alcohol in 2020? Maybe you want to reduce the amount of alcohol you consume, maybe you’re pregnant and can’t have a drink for 9 months, or maybe you’ve never consumed alcohol and you’re tired of the usual boring non-alcoholic options. Well, if one of the above describes you, you’re in luck because Altina Drinks have created an alcohol free option that tastes great, without all the sugar! 

Altina Drinks is a Canberra-based business and you might have spotted their gorgeous non-alcoholic cocktails at events like The Forage or the Handmade Canberra market. Their goal is to make alcohol free drinking fun, interesting and accessible with their Zero Proof™ Craft Cocktails. They’re also running Australia’s first Zero Proof Festival in Canberra with events happening throughout July.  

The next event is a cooking experience with the award-winning Daana restaurant on Wednesday 15 July. Guests will enjoy a 3-course meal paired with Altina drinks as you watch Sanjay, Head Chef and Owner of Daana, create signature dishes. He’ll take you through the influences behind some of Daana’s most popular dishes. Registrations for this event close on Monday 13th July 7pm so be quick to book your spot so you don’t miss out.

On 29 July you can join Kate Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of The Healthy Eating Hub, at the Rolfe Classic Mini Garage Showroom in Phillip to hear the truth behind the “the beer belly phenomenon”. Kate will share her views on how alcohol and sugar affect weight and how to build a healthy relationship with both. You’ll be sipping on Altina’s alcohol free cocktails and nibbling on smoked charcuterie and other delicious treats from Pialligo Estate at this event.

If you don’t want to physically attend theses events, don’t stress because you can attend the events virtually from the comfort of your own home.
