If anyone knows about heating things up, it’s Bridgerton’s hunky leading man, Regé-Jean Page. So it’s only natural that he teamed up with Seedlip nonalcoholic spirits to create a few alcohol-free cocktails that are sure to help cool things down this hot, steamy summer.
“It isn’t always easy being new to the party, but Seedlip Nota de Agave knows how to stand out,” Page teases, taking a sip of his Seedlip Espresso Martini recipe. “Or blend right in, in a non-alcoholic Paloma, Margarita, or your own creation. It has no sugar, low calories, and non-alcoholic with all of the flavor and all the fun.”
Seedlip’s Notas de Agave is a vibrant and refreshing blend of prickly pear, zesty lime and agave flavors with notes of Vanilla, Damiana flower and Peppercorn to awaken the palate. Seedlip Spice 94 is a warm, aromatic blend of Allspice & Cardamom with fresh citrus top notes to balance the long bitter finish. And Seedlip Grove is a sophisticated, bright, citrus blend of Mediterranean Orange, Lemon Peel, Lemongrass and Ginger with a dry finish. Each 700 ml bottle of Seedlip makes 12-14 cocktails.
