Why are non-alcoholic products still just as expensive as alcoholic products?

Great question! Many of our customers wonder why our non-alcoholic products are so expensive compared to their alcoholic counterparts. The non-alcoholic products we sell still contain the same types of ingredients as alcoholic products and require the same degree of effort to craft (if not more to either remove the alcohol as an additional step or to create innovative ways to replicate familiar flavors) as other drinks. Alcohol is often one of the least expensive components of a beverage, as all of the other delicious flavors, labor, and more that go into a drink take time and effort to curate. Quality ingredients incur quality prices, and our suppliers always strive to produce only the best of the best.
