Process description Sterkstokers - Alcohol-free drinks:
At Sterkstokers, they believe in purity and craftsmanship. Their drinks are made exclusively from carefully selected, natural ingredients with no added sugars or artificial flavourings. With their own stock of over 250 botanicals and herbs, and years of experience in craft beverage production, they select the best raw materials for a rich and sophisticated taste experience. With this technique, they don't have to remove alcohol from the drink, but they just don't use any.
1. Steam distillation
Extraction of essential oils from botanicals via controlled heat. This method, originating in the perfume world, allows the release of deep, complex aromas and conversion of bitter substances into floral notes.
2. Vacuum distillation
By reducing pressure, we reduce the boiling point of our ingredients, preserving delicate aromas. This allows us to extract fragile flavours without thermal degradation.
3. Infuse
To make the most of the essence of fruit and botanicals, they apply cold maceration. This technique, inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony, ensures that flavour components are transferred to the liquid in a natural and balanced way.
4. Fermentation
​Some plant ingredients can upset the flavour balance. Through controlled fermentation, using carefully managed bacterial and yeast culture from previous productions after a heating process, they break down unwanted structures and refine the flavour.
5. Filtering
In the final step, they determine the desired clarity and structure of the final product. Depending on the recipe, they choose whether the drink is filtered to a clear essence or retains a cloudy, artisanal appearance.

THOMAS CUYVERS, master distiller at Sterkstokers, shares his experiences with 0%:
"From the beginning, from my experiences, I searched for a technique to create drinks that could replace alcoholic drinks such as rum, whisky, vodka and gin, so that no difference would be noticed. Of course, there was no substitute for the often 40 per cent alcohol. My breakthrough came when I started thinking from the consumer's perspective. There is a large group of people who do not drink alcohol and are not looking for a replacement. They still want to celebrate life and share something special with others. For them, I make my drinks so that they too can experience a special moment when they have something to celebrate."
