When your house bar is stocked with products that vary in degree, you’re all set to mix cocktails that meet the different consumption profiles.

Read on for some product suggestions signed Noroi to concoct an array of cocktail ideas in the spectrum that best suits your needs, changing or not.

Gin and gin-ish

Dry gin is one of the most popular and versatile bases for cocktails. Just think of the negroni, gin and tonic or martini which are certainly among the most ordered, regardless of trends. This is where L'Esprit-de-London, a gin-flavoured distilled spirit with 0.5% alcohol, comes in. It achieves a taste very similar to the original.

If you’re looking for a low-alcohol cocktail, then turn to recipes solely made with gin and substitute it for L’Esprit-de-London.

Italian Aperitif  

Oh, the joy of a spritz with chips and olives. Even if your travel plans don’t involve flying off to dreamy Italy, you can at least pretend you’re there over an aperitif. With its beautiful orange hue and sweet-bitter-sparkling balance, the spritz is one of those cocktails that hits the spot every time. 

And just like its fellow cocktail above, you can make it per yoozh, go halfsies by replacing part of the Aperitivo with a dose of Esprit-D'Italie, its 0.5% cousin, or use only the latter to obtain a low-alcohol cocktail. That way you can extend happy hour and enjoy the sun, because by early evening, sun rays are also low on the UV index. So it's a perfect match.

Rum, or not, and cola 

Rum and cola fans who don’t just want cola as a free substitute can rejoice in the arrival of L'Esprit-des-Caraïbes. This rum-flavoured distilled spirit is under the 0.5% mark, allowing for low-alcohol mixes, whether in the classic Ti Punch or other island drinks. 

That je-ne-sais-quoi  

Speaking of rum and cola, have you ever tried it with a few drops of orange bitter? We did, and it's delicious. The citrus notes and added bitterness take your cocktail somewhere else. We don't know exactly where, but we’re here for it. It can also be used to enhance Aperitivo in a myriad of concoctions. To discover!

One cocktail, so many possibilities

As you can see, the era of all or nothing has given way to nuances that allow you to create cocktails that are truly to your liking and fit your mood of the moment. No need to choose a clan, you can ride a wave of possibilities.
