Non-alcoholic drinks have gained immense popularity within the last five years, evolving from rare offerings to essential components of cocktail menus. This trend is augmented by new product innovations that satisfy consumer demand. Bartenders, such as Steve Kämmerer from Brooklyn, drawing from nostalgic beverages like Crodino, are shaping non-alcoholic drink programs. His personal history with Crodino showcases how traditional drinks can be reintroduced to enhance modern offerings, reflecting the growing customer preference for thoughtful non-alcoholic options over standard virgin cocktails.
Kämmerer has been refining his non-alcoholic drinks program ever since a recent Dry January demonstrated his customers' demand for non-alcoholic cocktails that go beyond the easily-mocked virgin options.
While the widespread interest in non-alcoholic drinks is unquestionably a recent development, not everything in a bartender's toolkit is.
