Cider as you’ve never drunk it before….here’s a recipe from Mix Mann to give you a twist on cider drinking!

Drynks Unlimited, the award-winning British alcohol-free craft drinks brand, is joining forces with @Mix.Mann to create two modern and sophisticated 0% cider cocktails using its Smashed Berry and Apple ciders.

The Smashed ciders start life as Real British 5% ABV ciders produced by award-winning Herefordshire craft cider producer, Celtic Marches. Drynks Unlimited then uses its state-of-the-art cool vacuum distillation process to gently lift out the alcohol, leaving behind a cider that tastes so good you wouldn’t realise there wasn’t any booze in it.

Smashed Berry Bellini is a super simple cocktail that is sure to impress. It uses jam as its base and its vibrant berry colour celebrates the summer berries in Smashed Berry cider. It also features Bax Botanics Sea Buckthorn non-alc spirit and Everleaf Mountain non-alc aperitif.

Smashed Apple Sunrise has a sage, fennel and cinnamon syrup base which balances perfectly with the crisp apples in the Smashed Apple cider. Caleño Dark & Spicy non-alc spirit is added for tropical pineapple notes.

Harp is the Mann behind @Mix.Mann, an award-winning UK based mixology and drinks blog. He is a lifelong drinks enthusiast and is famous for creating stunning colour-popping cocktails which are a work of art.

Britain is a nation of cider drinkers and the summer is the perfect time to enjoy a chilled cider in the sun. Don’t just stop at a cider over ice, get creative and create cider cocktails which are delicious but also, completely alcohol free.

Richard Clark, founder of Drynks Unlimited said: “Our Smashed Apple and Berry Ciders are delicious on their own but we’ve loved having some fun with MixMann’s creative, vibrant and fruity cocktail recipes. They’re perfect for long hot summer days and are as refreshing AF.”

“We have carefully crafted our Smashed ciders to deliver the perfect taste and experience of a proper British cider with all its dry appley goodness. Don’t settle for alcohol free apple juices, choose the real thing!”

Drynks Unlimited is the only UK alcohol-free drinks brand who can produce the full remit of craft beers and cider because it owns the only cool vacuum distillation (CVD) brewery in the UK. This state-of-the-art plant gently de-alcoholises real British craft beer and cider producing 0% drinks that taste as good as the alcoholic original.

All SMASHED drinks are vegan, gluten free (where possible) and contain less than 100 calories per 330ml bottle/can. The quality and taste of Smashed drinks also won the brand a Great Taste Award and World Beer Award bronze for Smashed Lager, an International Beer Challenge silver medal for Smashed Citrus lager and its Smashed Pale ale won Product of the Year 2021.

With around 40% of British people reducing the amount of alcohol they drink and opting for a healthier lifestyle, being able to choose a drynk that has all the taste of a great craft beer or cider with none of the booze is more important than ever.

Smashed Apple cider and Smashed Berry cider is available in Booths supermarket, Zeroholic, Amazon and Wise Bartender as well as direct on the Drynks Store. They are also available in a number of independent retailers, farm shops, bars and restaurants. RRP £1.99 per 330ml can/bottle.

We may be all about the 0% but we are 100% focused on creating a collection of alcohol-free drinks.
