Non-Alcoholic Drinks are on the menu today.
gulp, gulp..... |
Edmonton’s drinks scene is rapidly redefining itself, placing the spotlight on non-alcoholic options for a growing population of mindful drinkers.
Venues like SPILT on Jasper Avenue are leading the way, serving up playful, carefully crafted zero-proof cocktails in a uniquely vibrant, 1980s-inspired space.
Other local favorites, such as Olia Ristorante and Mimi Bar, and the soon-to-open Koselig by Alberta Ale Works on 82 Avenue, are embracing this shift, offering extensive alcohol-free selections from morning coffee to late-night drinks.
