I have been fortunate enough to know Jess for years before the distillery opening, bringing test spirits to the Art of the Cocktail to pour for bartenders and enthusiasts alike at private after-parties. Since then, she and Jeremy along with the whole family have created a loyal following with their products across the island and beyond. Glad I had a chance to chat about their awards, what's in the future and more.

I tackle non alcoholic ingredients this week showcasing Lumette! non alcohol distillate and Phillip's Sparkmouth tonics. Pairing these two for a tasty non alcoholic alternative is perfect, the Lumette! adds complexity and the tonic gives body and texture. The big thing when you use these product is to understand what they are and adapt your style for them.
