Revitalise and Refresh: Non Alcoholic Tipples for a Relaxing Bank Holiday
Citizen Spritz focuses on non alcoholic drinks that emphasise flavour by balancing vibrant natural ingredients with that warming tingle usually reserved for boozier beverages. The upcoming Bank Holiday is the perfect time to try us out and go alcohol free for a revitalising and refreshing day.
Benefits of alcohol-free tipples
Recent research by Amplyfi has shown that the rise of the wellness culture has driven a shift towards non alcoholic products as consumers seek alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages. More and more people are also becoming more flexitarian in their drinking habits, swapping alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks interchangeably, as alcohol free options like Citizen Spritz offer them a tastier choice than water or fizzy drinks.
We’ve discussed the advantages of opting for no alcohol tipples in many of our blogs, such as prioritising mental health through alcoholfree drinks and how alcoholfree drinks can help manage stress. Non alcoholic drinks can also enhance your hydration levels, which is always good.
Exploring refreshing ingredients
The other great thing about our non alcoholic spritzes is that we use various refreshing ingredients to create them, and they are perfect for garnishing as well.
Citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, are some of the most refreshing ingredients, and we have featured them in three drinks in our alcohol-free spritz range: Bitter Orange, Cool Lime and Pink Grapefruit Citizen Spritz. Citrus fruits also work perfectly as garnishes.
Other refreshing ingredients include herbs and spices (such as mint, basil and ginger), berries and other fruits (such as strawberries, watermelon, and cucumber) and floral elements (such as lavender, rose and hibiscus).

Any of our non alcoholic spritzes will make a refreshing bank holiday aperitif for you:
