5 Of The Best Spirits To Help You Party Sustainably
As the weather warms up and the days get longer, many of us are eager to enjoy a refreshing drink to celebrate the arrival of the great British summer! However, it’s important to be mindful of our environmental impact when choosing what to drink. Luckily, there are plenty of sustainable alcohol brands out there that offer delicious, eco-friendly options for those who want to enjoy a drink without harming the planet.
One such brand is Discarded Liquor that creates unique, delicious spirits using ingredients that might otherwise go to waste. Their flagship product is Discarded Banana Peel Rum, which is made using leftover banana peels from the food industry. The result is a smooth, sweet rum with a tropical flavour that’s perfect for sipping on a sunny day.
Another is Toast Ale, which makes beer using surplus bread that would otherwise go to waste. Toast Ale’s mission is to reduce food waste and carbon emissions in the brewing industry, and they donate all their profits to food waste charities. Their beers come in a range of flavours, including a Pale Ale, an IPA, and a Session IPA, all of which are delicious and refreshing.
There are many other sustainable alcohol options out there to explore. When choosing a drink, look for brands that prioritise sustainability and use eco-friendly production methods, here are a few of our faves:

Their spirits are made using herbs, spices, and botanicals, and they’re a great option for those who want to enjoy a drink without alcohol.
