Jukes Cordialities blends fruits and vegetables to create tasty non-alcoholic beverages.

Healthy and sophisticated alcohol-free drinks, blending the finest fruits, spices and herbs with apple cider vinegar. 

The Jukes range comes in 3 flavours:

- Jukes 1 - the white - is centred around a citrus and herb theme, designed to be uplifting, clean and bright.

- Jukes 6 - the red - is a fruitier, deeper and spicier style with a more mellow, earthy flavor.

- Jukes 8 - the rosé - is a refreshing and aromatic, based on melon, pomegranate, pear, rhubarb and apple.

Jukes are very low in sugar, dry and complex in taste and pair amazingly well with food.

Drink

By choosing to build a drink from the ground up inspired by wine, rather than a direct imitation or an alcohol-removed solution, Jukes delivers something really enjoyable without the baggage of direct comparison.

I tried Jukes #6. Jukes is the namesake of celebrated wine taster and writer, Matthew Jukes. Jukes cordialities are small concentrate bottles designed to be combined with water at the point of serving. Each 1 oz bottle is enough for two glasses of the final product. While the choice to name products by number is a bit confusing, it helps lower expectation of a 1:1 replacement for their alcoholic counterpart.

With some club soda added, the drink wasn’t exactly wine, but was complex enough to be delicious on its own. It walks a fine line of “special juice” and grown-up beverage. Jukes #6 is primarily blackberries and black currant with a base of apple cider vinegar. It has a peppery spice component that helps it go beyond simply being a juice mix.

I also tried the concentrate raw. Honestly, it was much better than I expected. It tasted a bit like a pomegranate juice-based shot I might buy at a health food store to boost immunity or reduce inflammation or whatever.

This was a really tasty drink. Has a nice similarity to wine but more of a vinegar flavor like kombucha. All around enjoyable!

I'm not sober, however I don't always like to drink when I'm going out. Jukes is a great nonalcoholic alternative. It has healthy ingredients (such as apple cider vinegar) which I love as it's not like a typical juice and sugars, like some other nonalcoholic brands. These can be paired with dinner, similar to what you'd do with wine, however are a much healthier option.
