Tasting and quality are two keywords for NIX & NIX. We taste everything and only offer the best drinks in our liquor stores. We are constantly looking for new flavors and taste dozens of new drinks every week.
But of course I also have my favorite drinks. Below is a list per category of what I often drink myself. Cheers!
Beer:
Athletic Brewing - run wild . A full, bitter IPA.
Kehrwieder Coconut Grove . A fresh IPA with a full taste.
Force Majeure Traditional Blonde . A really full glass of beer. Lovely on the terrace in the sun.
Bubbles:
Alt Sparkling Rosé Fine fresh sparkling wine with notes of watermelon and strawberry. Delicious to drink on any occasion and always festive.
Kolonne Null Sparkling Rosé In my opinion, this is really the top of what is currently available in the alcohol-free area.
Or try Saicho's beautiful sparkling tea . made from 1 type of tea, brewed for 24 hours and then provided with a nice bubble.
White wine:
Weingut Apel This riesling from Germany is fresh with a fruity aftertaste. In my opinion the best white wine available.
Cognato Chenin Blanc A wine with a "bite". This South African chenin blanc tastes slightly spicy and therefore very nice. Also from Fairtrade grapes.
Red wine:
Cognato red The somewhat smoky chocolate aftertaste reminds me of a Pinotage. I drink this for example with a nice pasta.
Kolonne Null Cuvée Rouge Full, round, fruity and with tannins. If you are used to non-alcoholic wines, this is the best there is.
Cocktails:
Gnista Floral Wormwood & Fever Tree Ginger Beer. I really like this mix. This combination gives you a nice "bite" and the special slightly fat tones of the Gnista come through very well.
Abstinence Cape Citrus & Fever Tree Tonic. A pleasant accessible G&T and immediately everyone's friend.
Nona June & Abstinence Aperitif & Fever Tree Tonic. If you are a little further educated in making cocktails, this is a nice combination. Drink it in a nice coupe and you have a surprisingly bittersweet drink.
Margarisha . A combination of the Mexican Agave from ISH and the Abstinence Cape Citrus. With this you make an original Margarita, but slightly different.
Digestive:
Three Spirit Nightcap aka The Dreammaker If I sit on the couch for a while, this is a loyal friend. Good full mouthfeel, fine taste and spicy aftertaste that lingers.
Gnista Barreled Oak Some drinks you have to learn to drink. This is certainly the case with the Barreled Oak. But if you understand the drink you become attached to the special taste experience.
