Overview
Pentire Seaward is a refreshing non-alcoholic aperitif inspired by the rugged botanical landscapes just outside the UK — think windswept coasts, salty breezes, and vibrant wild botanicals. It’s designed to feel light, complex, and utterly refreshing, making it a standout choice for zero-proof cocktails.
Key Botanicals & Components
This aperitif is built from a truly coastal botanical lineup, including:
- Bladderwrack seaweed
- Samphire
- Hibiscus
- Juniper
- Other hand-foraged coastal plants
The focus here is marine botanicals meeting citrus and herbal brightness, giving a uniquely seaside flavor profile.
Aroma
On the nose, Seaward offers a fresh, bracing mixture of coastal herbs and citrus, with hints of sea spray and saline herbal notes that instantly evoke ocean air. There’s a subtle floral lift from hibiscus, balancing the herbal and saline elements.
Taste & Mouthfeel
- Bracing herbal start: Samphire and sea greens give a fresh, slightly savory coastal taste that’s unlike most spirits.
- Citrus brightness: Lemon and other citrus peels add a zesty, uplifting layer that keeps the sip bright and refreshing.
- Mineral finish: A whisper of saline and mineral undertones lingers on the palate, reminiscent of a sea breeze.
The mouthfeel is crisp and light — not heavy, not sweet — just clean, refreshing, and complex enough to sip on its own or mix confidently.
How to Drink It
Pentire Seaward works beautifully in drinks that highlight its marine and citrus personality:
- With tonic water and a lemon twist for a seaside spritz
- Over soda water with a pinch of sea salt
- In zero-proof gin-style cocktails that benefit from herb and citrus balance
- Mocktail spritzes with grapefruit or cucumber
It’s equally enjoyable neat over ice with a zest of lemon for a clean, bracing aperture to any meal.
Overall Impression
Pentire Seaward is crisp, botanical, and distinctly coastal — a non-alcoholic aperitif with real character. It’s ideal for anyone who loves herbal complexity, light citrus, and something refreshingly different from the usual sweet NA alternatives. Think seaside breeze in a glass.
