Adrift

Rock samphire grows out of sea cliffs and tastes like it, green and briny and slightly bitter, and it is the botanical this whole spirit is built around. Headland sage and lemon citrus join it, with Cornish sea salt in the mix, which is why the finish reads coastal rather than simply herbal. This was Pentire's original bottle and it remains the most savory thing they make. The botanicals are distilled rather than steeped in syrup, so it comes in at 2 calories per 2oz pour with no sugar, no artificial colors and no artificial flavorings. Serve it the way Pentire does, 2oz in a highball packed with ice, topped with light tonic and garnished with rosemary or a strip of lemon peel. It is the alcohol-free bottle to reach for if you actually miss dry drinks.
