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.

Our conclusion for the future

The world of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks is diverse and offers something for every taste. With increasing health awareness and the desire for a more conscious lifestyle, more and more people are turning to these trendy alternatives. Take the opportunity to discover the latest creations at the “Alles für den Gast” trade fair and enrich your range with these innovative, tasty and healthy options!

Book tip of the week: Tacos From Dusk Till Dawn

Journey through the flavors of Mexico

With “Tacos From Dusk Till Dawn”, Danny Trejo, probably Hollywood’s most charismatic villain, not only delivers a cookbook, but also a very personal insight into his life. This book is a journey through the flavors of Mexico, the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and the eventful life story of a man who went from prison inmate to celebrated actor and successful restaurateur.

The book is more than just a collection of recipes – it tells the story of Trejo’s rise and his roots. In short anecdotes and longer stories, he describes the highs and lows of his life, from his childhood in poor circumstances to the establishment of his restaurant chain “Trejo’s Tacos”. It becomes clear that Trejo’s love of Mexican cuisine is not just a backdrop, but is deeply rooted in his story.

With 75 recipes, the book offers a colorful variety of dishes: from classic tacos and quesadillas to aromatic dips and salsas to sweet temptations such as donuts and churros. The vegan variations, such as the cauliflower tacos, are particularly praiseworthy, proving that Mexican cuisine can also be interpreted in a light and modern way. The recipes are down-to-earth, uncomplicated and use ingredients that are easy to source – ideal for both amateur cooks and professionals looking for new inspiration.

Trejo manages to capture the vibrancy and diversity of Los Angeles. Between the recipes are stories about his family, encounters with friends and the Latino culture that has shaped him. The casual, humorous tone of the book makes it a real pleasure to browse through. At the same time, you can sense the respect Trejo has for Mexican cuisine – and that makes every recipe authentic and approachable.
