alcohol-free beverages – happily, the nature of this book precludes much discussion of such vileness, such dross. Rather drink your bathwater, or even your own waters. If you must, one or two of the ‘beers’ (Clausthaler, Buckler) are relatively inoffensive and with ‘spinning cone’ technology, the ‘wines’ have improved somewhat. But if you’re going alcohol-free, not much beats a spicy Virgin Mary or the clean taste of cranberry juice.
