The Altina zero-proof cocktail range has announced a new distributor as it expands its reach nationally.

Crafted in Canberra, Altina’s drinks are low on sugar and don’t use any artificial preservatives, flavourings or colours. The range includes two exotic flavours: ‘Light me up’, inspired by Australian native ingredients, featuring forestberry and roasted wattleseed, balanced with flavours of apple and green tea; and ‘La Vie en Rose’, with organic hibiscus, delicate pink rose petals sweet orange and a light fizz.

“Our delicious non-alcoholic cocktails are powered by plants and have no added sugars or juice so you can have peace of mind while sipping away on a sophisticated drink,” said Alan Tse, director of Altina.

Tse’s co-founder, Dr Christina Delay, used her skills from her degree in Biochemical Technology and a PhD in Plant Biology to help create the zero-proof range.

Altina has joined distributor Swift + Moore’s portfolio of premium Wines, Spirits and Non-Alcoholic Beverages. Cameron Crowley, Managing Director of Swift + Moore, said: “There is so much about Altina which makes it right for the moment, right for how many are choosing to rethink their drinks today.

“Historically alcohol-free means making a compromise and that is the antithesis of the Altina philosophy. These are not cocktails where alcohol has been taken out, nor are they soft drinks with artificial sweeteners added in. Altina is crafted from inception to capture a delicious flavour that is unique, balanced and better for you than the alternatives.”

Altina cocktails are available in party size 750mL bottles and a convenient ready to drink 250mL can four pack. Altina will have a recommended retail price of $19.99 for both 750mL glass and 250mL 4-pack cans.
