Bax Botanics is an artisan company offering lovely herby botanical spirits from Yorkshire, made ethically with wild herbs and organic ingredients, all sent in zero-waste packaging. By law, no drink can be called 0% alcohol (there’s a little alcohol in bananas and bread), but this is as low as you can go. Even the bottle labels are made from biodegradable sugar-cane.
If taking medication, check paper inserts before consuming grapefruit (tonic waters are also best avoided during pregnancy, due to quinine – just top with soda water instead).
The founders spend years learning about botanical flavours and now use their skills to create unique blends using herbs, roots, berries and flowers, for spirits and cocktails with complex tastes. Serve with tonic water, to make the drinks come to life!
There are two drinks in the range:
- Sea Buckthorn contains fragrant herbs, Seville oranges and has a warm ‘buttery baked’ flavour.
- Verbena is a light fresh herby flavour, with notes of citrus and menthol.
You can also buy both drinks in ready-to-drink cans already containing tonic water. Wholesale orders are welcome for restaurants, shops and hotels.
