DRINK : Dare to Explore the fiery flavour of Talonmore

I’m on my second serving as I write this. This non-alcoholic spirit is as delicious as it is refreshing!

Talonmore is a spirit born and raised in Edinburgh. Only established in 2020, they are definitely shaking up the non-alcoholic industry and I’d put them as a one to watch. In 2022, Talonmore was awarded Silver at the International Wine and Spirits Competition scoring an impressive 92 points out of 100.

The new batch of Talonmore includes a brand-new look & feel, with an upgraded label and eye-catching flagship red foil.

Using a mix of rooted and plant-based ingredients, Talonmore can be used to replicate spirit strength drinks in a multitude of non-alcoholic cocktails and beverages. Talonmore’s distinctive taste is fired by the spice of ginger and cinnamon whilst complemented with malty notes and fruit sweetness.

DRINK : Dare to Explore the fiery flavour of Talonmore

With over 8 million adults in the UK looking to reduce their alcohol intake, Talonmore is designed to shake up the non-alcoholic drinks market through championing the adventurous lifestyle that could normally be sacrificed with traditional alcohol.

If you are a lover of ginger like me, then this is one drink you’ll want permanently in your drinks cabinet (although once opened it needs to be refrigerated and consumed within 60 days - which shouldn’t be a problem as once you try this, I reckon you’ll be pouring yourself a cheeky wee drink most weekdays).

Talonmore is 0% ABV and brewed with Scottish water.  The key superfoods; ginger, prickly pear, hawthorn berry and Assam tea have recognised health benefits in their own right, and when combined together offer a full bodied, fiery taste that replicates the pleasant burn of alcohol.

On first taste, the ginger hits your palate, smack bang straight up. There’s a fieriness to it but its more-ish and you’ll keep going back for another sip. I love this neat as a quick shot and could quite easily replace this with my ginger ‘health’ shot in the mornings. I can see this being divine over ice on a hot day too.

As ginger is the prevalent flavour, lime is going to work so well with this. I went for a classic mocktail of Talonmore with ginger ale, a mega squeeze of lime over ice. It is so good!

If you would like to try this for yourself, you can purchase a bottle directly from Talonmore - www.talonmoredrinks.com. It costs £25.00 per bottle and there are 28 x 25ml servings in the bottle
