Anicka’s Pick Seedlip Non-Alcoholic Spirits $52, available at Mikuni Wild Harvest, mikuniwildharvest.com ’Tis the season for holiday parties and drinks with friends (I’ve got a killer mulled wine recipe I’m happy to share)—and for the non-drinkers who want something a little more interesting than ginger ale, I’m happy to finally have something to offer. Seedlip distilled non-alcoholic spirits come in two varieties: one aromatic and woody, with ingredients like allspice berries, cardamom and citrus peels; another is herbal and floral, including peas, hay and spearmint—giving my mulled wine a run for its money.
