Mocktail Recipe: Blackberry ALL-FREE Shandy

Renowned Japanese brewer and distiller Suntory recently launched ALL-FREE, a delicious beer-like beverage that has all the characteristics of a real beer, minus the alcohol. The sparkling malt & hops drink features a crisp and light taste, and includes quality mineral water from renowned water sources in Japan.

Two-row barley contributes to the rich beer flavor, and similar to real beer, using only the first wort gives ALL-FREE a distinct, delicate flavor, and rich aftertaste. Select aroma hops give ALL-FREE its bitterness and sophisticated bouquet, while the ALL-FREE production method removes the fermentation process completely to deliver a specialty beverage with zero calories, zero sugar, 0.00% alcohol, and no artificial flavors.

If you’re looking for a healthier drink to enjoy during your at-home happy hour, LA-based drinks enthusiast Elliot (@apartment_bartender) has created the perfect guilt-free shandy that is a great alternative to sugary, booze-filled cocktails. And the best part is that it tastes delicious!
