The Windspiel Gin Manufaktur from the Volcanic Eifel pays attention to every detail. In true handicraft and through elaborate processes, Sandra Wimmeler and Denis Lönnendonker produce their non-alcoholic gin and rum alternatives. The two have painstakingly devised the recipes to ensure a full-bodied taste experience even without alcohol. For Dry January, Denis Lönnendonker recommends the non-alcoholic Windspiel Cocktail Gin Azul Fizz.
Denis, why do you personally enjoy going without alcohol from time to time?
For us as passionate gin lovers, non-alcoholic varieties are also a genuine alternative whenever the mood strikes. Whether as a long drink, cocktail, or with Windspiel Tonic – our Windspiel Alcohol-Free and our Windspiel Libre create moments of indulgence and an exclusive taste experience. Perfect for Dry January!
What makes your non-alcoholic Windspiel alternatives a special taste experience?
For our Windspiel Alcohol-Free and Windspiel Libre, we rethought and reassembled the recipe of botanicals. We macerate and distill them with just as much passion and effort as all other Windspiel products. Some details are even more elaborate. Our sugar-free and vegan Windspiel Alcohol-Free impresses with a balanced spice. Fine clove and allspice notes paired with juniper berry and citrus notes are rounded off by a hint of cinnamon. The composition leads to a well-balanced variety of aromas. Warm tones of black tea, elements of dried papaya, framed by subtle wood aromas make Windspiel Libre a perfect partner for non-alcoholic long drinks and cocktails.
Which Windspiel cocktail do you recommend for Dry January?
Both non-alcoholic Windspiel alternatives are a perfect mixing base that sets no limits to creativity and is also a great choice as a gift. Windspiel Libre is suitable for drinks that are prepared with rum. Ideal for classics like Cuba Libre, Mojito, Dark 'n' Stormy, or Daiquiri. For Dry January, I recommend our Windspiel Azul Fizz.
