Functional Flavour: Botanicals That Do More Than Taste Good
Flavour is just the beginning. At immaculate®, we believe what you sip should not only taste incredible but also support your wellbeing. That’s why we focus on functional flavour - beautiful botanicals with a purpose.
Wellness Benefits of Our Star Botanicals
Juniper: The hero of any G&T, alcohol-free or not, juniper is rich in antioxidants and traditionally used to support digestion. Its crisp, piney profile symbolises clarity and has been linked with natural detox properties.
Quinine: The bitter balancer. Extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree, quinine is the bold, bitter backbone of tonic water. Once used as a treatment for malaria, today it adds a sophisticated edge to premium adult drinks. In immaculate®, quinine gives that crisp bitterness that balances the citrus and juniper, making sure things never get too sweet. It's the unsung hero of every great G&T.
Lemon Balm: This gentle herb is part of the mint family and is known for its calming effects. Used to ease stress, promote better sleep and improve mood, it brings softness and serenity to every sip.
Lemon: Packed with vitamin C and long hailed as a digestive aid, lemon refreshes and rejuvenates. It adds brightness and balance - a natural cleanser that lifts both flavour and spirit.
One of our secret botanicals (we won’t reveal it all!): We like to keep some things a little mysterious. One of our favourite flavour notes in immaculate® comes from a herb that’s long been used in herbal medicine and spiritual rituals. It adds a soft, balancing roundness to the sharper edges of the drink - think of it as our little secret that brings everything together.
Ancient Roots, Modern Uses
These botanicals aren’t new trends - they’ve been trusted for centuries. From Roman herbal tonics to medieval monastic gardens, plants like lemon balm and juniper were prized for healing. Today, we pair this ancient wisdom with modern mixology, blending time-tested benefits with bold, contemporary flavour.
What to Look For in a Functional Alcohol-Free Drink
A great alcohol-free option should be more than a sweet filler or fizzy water. Look for:
• Thoughtful botanical blends, not just fruit juice
• Transparency about ingredients and their benefit
• Balanced flavour - not too sweet, not too bitter, with layers of complexity
• A feeling of intention - does the drink match how you want to feel?
With immaculate®, you’re not just skipping the alcohol — you’re choosing a drink crafted with care and purpose.
Cleaner taste. Clearer mind. Kinder choice.
