For many, the ritual of winding down with a drink has long been synonymous with alcohol — whether it’s a crisp gin and tonic after work or a celebratory cocktail on the weekend. But a quiet revolution has been brewing in recent years, driven by health-conscious individuals, mindful drinkers, and those simply seeking a better balance. Enter Pentire Drinks — the Cornwall-based brand that’s capturing the essence of coastal living in a bottle, without a drop of alcohol in sight.
Created to celebrate the power of plants and the clarity of the sea, Pentire is more than just a non-alcoholic spirit; it’s a lifestyle in liquid form. Using sustainably sourced botanicals native to the Cornish coast, Pentire offers a grown-up alternative to traditional spirits, giving drinkers a refreshing, sophisticated option that doesn’t compromise on flavour, ritual or wellbeing.
Inspired by the Sea, Crafted for Clarity
Founded in the surf-soaked community of North Cornwall, Pentire Drinks draws its identity from the rugged, untamed beauty of the coast. It’s no coincidence that their flagship drinks — Pentire Adrift and Pentire Seaward — are infused with coastal botanicals like rock samphire, sea rosemary, sage, and Cornish sea salt. These aren’t just flavourings; they’re wild, fragrant tributes to the natural surroundings that inspire the brand’s ethos of balance and vitality.
Crafted in collaboration with local botanists, distillers and nutritionists, each bottle is a celebration of plant-based purity. There are no artificial additives, sweeteners or flavourings — just honest ingredients that deliver a clean, complex profile perfect for sipping solo or mixing with your favourite tonic.
Why Mindful Drinkers Are Reaching for Pentire
The rise of mindful drinking has been fuelled by a shift in cultural values. People want to enjoy the social, ritualistic aspect of a drink without the foggy mornings, anxious wakeups or long-term health compromises that often come with alcohol. Pentire Drinks offers the perfect bridge: a sophisticated, botanical drink that fits naturally into dinner parties, coastal picnics or quiet evenings at home.
With fewer calories than a soft drink and zero alcohol, Pentire doesn’t just cater to the sober-curious — it speaks directly to athletes, yogis, busy professionals, parents and creatives who value clarity, sleep and performance without giving up the ritual of pouring a drink at the end of the day.
Pentire Adrift and Seaward: A Tale of Two Coasts
The two cornerstone expressions of the Pentire range — Adrift and Seaward — each tell a unique flavour story:
- Pentire Adrift offers a savoury, herbaceous profile with notes of citrus, sage and sea rosemary. It’s crisp, dry and refreshing — a perfect companion for tonic, ice and a sprig of fresh thyme.
- Pentire Seaward leans more into bright, zesty grapefruit and sea buckthorn, balanced with green tones and a light bitterness. It’s a bolder pour, made for those who enjoy a more citrus-forward drink.
Both are naturally distilled, sugar-free and vegan-friendly — created not to imitate gin, but to stand confidently in their own category.
A Drink That Does Good
Sustainability and wellness are baked into everything Pentire Drinks does. From carbon-neutral shipping to plastic-free packaging, the brand is committed to preserving the very landscapes that inspire its products. Bottles are recyclable, ingredients are responsibly sourced, and the entire supply chain is carefully managed to ensure minimal environmental impact.
They’ve even gone a step further by partnering with marine charities and environmental initiatives that protect ocean health — making every bottle a small contribution to something bigger.
Versatility for Every Occasion
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, packing a picnic, or simply replacing your evening G&T, Pentire fits seamlessly into any social or solo setting. Mix it with tonic and a slice of grapefruit for a simple serve, or get creative with zero-proof cocktails like a Pentire Paloma or a sea herb spritz.
The beauty of Pentire lies in its ability to bring complexity and ritual to the glass without overpowering sweetness or a hangover-inducing afterglow. It gives you the moment, the taste, the refreshment — just without the side effects.
Loved by Athletes, Endorsed by Chefs, Enjoyed by All
From professional athletes to Michelin-star chefs, Pentire Drinks has earned a loyal following across the UK and beyond. Its clean label, striking bottle design and health-forward philosophy have made it a favourite in wellness spaces, luxury restaurants and boutique hotels. It’s often found not behind the bar, but proudly on top of it.
This is not a second-best alternative for those avoiding alcohol — it’s a first-class experience in its own right.
