RIVERINE NON-ALCOHOLIC SPIRIT
Definitely not cutting out booze but I am taking a moderate approach with alcohol! It’s a great choice to support a healthy lifestyle! Currently loving Riverine from AMASS. It’s just so light and refreshing.
Riverine is a refined non-alcoholic spirit that encapsulates the lush landscape of the Pacific Northwest’s temperate rainforest. Distilled with a regional blend of botanicals, it takes its cues from culinary practice for a distinct finish. Coniferous notes from Juniper are brightened by Sumac, Sorrel, Lemon Peel, and Apple, while Thyme, Mint, and Parsley lend a rich herbal earthiness. Each botanical is individually distilled in a proprietary hydrosteam distillation process to extract essential oils for a crisp and evergreen flavor profile reminiscent of the towering firs and coastal mountains of British Columbia.
Riverine offers a verdant flavor profile fit for an array of non-alcoholic cocktails or sipped simply on the rocks with a splash of tonic.
THE STORY
At first sip, towering trees sway in the canopy while leafy herbs like sorrel, mint, and thyme grow deep in the damp earth. Mist envelopes the mossy peaks as marbled murrelets swoop in between thickets and streams under soft lemon light, nesting in the treetops when the sun sets west.
On the bed of the forest floor, pines and needles doze off, dotted with raindrops. Feel your taste buds tingle as the crisp cool of terpenes grows sharp in the haze.

With warmer days here, safe socially distant picnics, bbqs, and other tiny social gatherings with people in your bubble are on the agenda. Aka cocktails galore. Don’t get me wrong, I like a cocktail just as much as the next person but sometimes a refreshing drink without booze is more what I have on mind. And Riverine is really just so beautiful! My preggo friends are totally get this for a bay shower gift too! I just can’t get enough of it on the rocks with a splash of sparkling water, which helps to spread out the flavor so I can get a little hint of each botanical. I'm especially a fan of the use of sumac, which provides a tangy, savory and fruity flavor that makes me wonder why more spirits don't use the spice. It’s truly adds such a special touch!
It has a similar vibe to a gin and tonic… but, again, more earthy. However, it isn't meant to be a gin replacement!
I cannot wait to try the BOTANIC VODKA next! AMASS Vodka with Marigold, Chamomile, and Lemon celebrates Nordic distilling tradition and the rich, vibrant history of Scandinavian drinking culture. Inspired by the region's long-standing spirit tradition, botanicals are meticulously distilled to create a heart with subtle layers of flowers folded around fresh, hand-grated citrus. The result is a light, elegant spirit that pays tribute to Copenhagen's long summer evenings and longer winter nights, perfectly suited for a variety of cocktails and seasons.
And the DRY GIN sounds divine! AMASS Dry Gin is a celebration of both the abundant natural terroir and diverse cultural landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Indigenous botanicals like California Bay and Cascara Sagrada ground bright top notes of fresh citrus. Earthy umami notes from Reishi Mushroom and Lion’s Mane Mushroom pair with Juniper to create a complex boreal profile. Vibrant flavors such as Hibiscus, Cardamom, Cacao, and Ginger paint a vivid palate of the rich multicultural fabric that is the spirit of the City of Angels.
The bottles are just all so exquisite!
They do have hard seltzers too! And personal care products! I have two of the hand sanitizers and they smell so freakin’ good!!!
