Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks are taking the beverage world by storm. Be inspired and enrich your range with innovative, tasty and healthy options!

5 top tips for immersing yourself in the world of non-alcoholic delights

Promoting health awareness
More and more people are paying attention to their health and are therefore choosing non-alcoholic or low-alcohol drinks. Drinking less alcohol has numerous health benefits. After four weeks without alcohol, your skin improves, you feel fitter and your blood pressure drops. Even lower consumption can reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, heart attacks and strokes.
Discover variety
The range of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks is constantly growing and offers something for every taste. From fruity lemonades without cane sugar to innovative kombucha pet-nats, the variety is impressive. Particularly worth mentioning are the blends from Muri Drinks, which lie somewhere between pet-nats, sour beers and fruit wines and have a super low alcohol content.
Redefining lifestyle
These drinks fit in perfectly with a modern, conscious lifestyle and are just as stylish and enjoyable as traditional alcoholic drinks. Products such as Combuchont from the Combuchont Schraml tea cellar are setting new standards. This cold-bottled tea has an impressive shelf life and offers a unique taste experience that surpasses traditional wines.
Experience innovative flavor profiles
New technologies and creative recipes provide unique taste experiences. The AMA Brewery impressively demonstrates how Pét-nat tea is made from the finest teas and ingredients with hardly any alcohol. These products are not only healthy, but also a real treat. Fruit juices without additives, such as those offered by Wachstum König from Styria, are also a highlight in the world of non-alcoholic drinks.
Little alcohol, great effect
For those who don't want to give up alcohol completely, there are numerous low-alcohol options. A low consumption of alcohol, such as a maximum of 10 grams per day, is hardly harmful to health and can even have a stress-reducing effect. Tequila, for example, is considered one of the “healthiest” types of alcohol due to its low calorie and sugar content.

Book tip of the week: Visiting Ibiza

Mediterranean inspiration for cuisine and concept

With Visiting Ibiza, Sherin Kneifl has produced a book that is much more than just travel literature for professionals in the restaurant and hotel industry – it is a source of inspiration for culinary styles, atmospheric concepts, and storytelling with genuine local color.

The author combines editorial precision with a keen sense of authenticity. She not only guides readers to the island’s hidden gems, but also highlights the ingredients that are relevant to hosts: cultural depth, credible recommendations from locals, visual opulence, and, above all, a recipe section that can be easily adapted to Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

Whether small plates for the aperitivo area, creative tapas variations, or light summer desserts – the recipes are clearly structured, aesthetically presented, and offer a variety of starting points for creative kitchen concepts. Particularly exciting for chefs: the dishes are easy to scale, can be interpreted with regional products, and are ideal as seasonal specials.

The work is also inspiring for hoteliers and interior-oriented hosts: the book conveys harmonious imagery and narratives that can be wonderfully translated into communication strategies, signature experiences, or event formats.
