Make a great night out

Savour our non-alcoholic Champion cocktails

When you’re having a good time, why fast-forward to whatever’s next? By slowing things down and making it last, you won’t miss out on anything. The same applies to drink. Champions believe in pacing themselves – so next time you’re in a bar, have your favourite cocktail lovingly made by a skilled mixologist, and savour the flavour and the moment with friends – simply perfect.

The science of mixology


There’s nothing to making a cocktail, right? Wrong. It’s actually a science. It can take mixologists years to perfect their skills in combining the right ingredients. A true Champion should know how to mix a great ‘Mocktail’ or non-alcoholic cocktail, so pay attention and you’ll soon be impressing your friends with fancy, fresh, flavourful drinks.

The science of mixology

What every ‘Mocktail’ needs
The best non-alcoholic cocktails are cleverly constructed from three taste sensations.
1. The attack
As the drink hits your tongue there’s an explosion of initial flavour.
2. The mid palate
The liquid warms and delicate tastes and aromatics develop.
3. The finish
That added aftertaste you get once the drink is swallowed.

The balance
Too sweet…too sour…there’s more to balancing a non-alcoholic cocktail than you think. Balancing the sweet ingredients with sour ingredients such as citrus juices, will give your drink a fresher edge.

Shaken or stirred?
How you finally mix your ingredients will ultimately affect the finished drink.
1. Stirring without ice simply mixes
2. Stirring with ice will also chill and dilute the drink
3. Shaking creates thousands of tiny bubbles making the drink appear thicker, and some fruit juices, such as pineapple, will foam to give your cocktail a smooth creamy finish.
