When you want to cut back on alcohol, but you really have your favourite recipes… it’s sometimes hard to find decent replacement products. For that reason, I find it sometimes hard to mix up a good-quality mocktail. I was already intrigued when I received a bottle that claimed to be a good replacement for rum. Would I be able to serve my better half a Daiquiri-style drink, but without the alcohol?
Gutss is a Belgian non-alcohol premium drink range, claiming to work pretty well in lots of recipes. It doesn’t contain any alcohol, but still has that typical “alcohol bite” you need to mix up a good cocktail. It brings "body" to your drink. In the range, they have two different gin replacements, an Italian spritz and a Cuban spiced rum replacement. The last one is on our test bar at this moment. This product can be used to create non-alcohol variations on the Dark ‘n Stormy, Cuba Libre or Mojito. So, let’s try a fruity variation on the Daiquiri.
This is not a Daiquiri, but the drink sure has gutss
Ingredients
50 ml Gutss Cuban Spiced (Non-alcoholic rum replacement)
30 ml Lime juice
30 ml Pineapple juice
10 ml Simple Syrup
Method
Add everything to a shaker with lots of ice. Give it a good shake for 10 seconds, and strain in a Martini glass. Garnish with lime.
