York Zero Questions Answered
How is York Zero made?
York Zero is made in a copper still by heating filtered water to extract the flavours of natural ingredients known as botanicals. These include juniper, orange, coriander & peppercorns.
The expertise of Yorkshire non-alcohol spirits makers Bax Botanics ensures that even the most subtle flavours are captured - resulting in a complex and balanced alcohol-free spirit.
Do I need to keep York Zero in the fridge?
Once opened, York Zero does not need to be refrigerated, but you should keep it away from bright sunlight. See the back of your bottle for the expiry date.
Is York Zero a gin?
Gin is a spirit that must contain alcohol. So York Zero, a zero-alcohol drink, is not gin. But this York Zero’s signature botanical is juniper - which also gives gin its distinctive flavour. Its layers of botanical flavours are also inspired by York Gin. So you can enjoy York Zero Classic Juniper & Orange in many cocktails that traditionally use gin.
Is York Zero suitable for people with diabetes?
The simple answer is yes, as it contains no sugar. But the more complicated answer is that the mixer you add to York Zero may contain sugar. Many tonic waters do. Please read your mixer’s labels carefully and follow medical advice for your own individual circumstances.
No alcohol - but how many calories?
York Zero has no alcohol. And its calorie count is 1 per 100mls. This equates to just half a calorie per serving!
The calorific values in the ingredients are so small that they are below the guidelines for nutritional labelling. When all York Zero’s nutritional values are combined, they amount to 1 calorie per 100ml. Of course, when you add tonic or another mixer, you will need to take their calories into account.
Can I drink York Zero when pregnant?
Yes. York Zero is alcohol-free. What’s more, all the botanicals are organically certified and every batch is tested in the microbiology lab.
York Zero’s botanicals are free from any nutritional restrictions, but if you have any doubts, you should seek medical advice.
