94% of Bartenders are stocking no/low

The IWSC is working in partnership CROSSIP to offer the winner and shortlisted entrants for its 2023 Emerging Talent in Bartending Award the opportunity to join a mentor programme with CROSSIP founder, Carl Anthony Brown.

Carl is an industry and media renowned cocktail expert. Throughout his career he has created countless award-winning bar menus, however he has always had an interest in the world of no alcohol.

In 2020, together with Tim Blake, they founded CROSSIP, a non-alcoholic spirit.

We recently heard from Lucy Shaw that the no/low category has come a long way since the establishment of Seedlip back in 2015 and now CROSSIP has released its own industry report which celebrates the news that 88% of on-trade venues are now offering no and low alcohol alternative drinks for consumers.

Further confirming the increasing necessity of this category in the on trade, the report highlights that 94%of Bartenders are either currently stocking no/low alcohol alternatives or have plans to in the future.
