As the New Year unfolds with the promise of a fresh start, we've seen an uptick in resolutions revolving around a commitment to Dry January or a preference to opt for low-alcohol cocktails.
Over the last 5 years in our Brix journey, we have learnt that while there is certainly an engaged audience who loves a big boozy cocktail, there is also a growing community that craves a light refreshing sipper, especially when it comes to drinking in the hot Aussie summer.
Within this emerging trend, we've seen a more discerning consumer steering themselves towards more versatile, small-batch, better quality spirits—a movement towards mindful consumption that aligns with the modern drinker's quest for a more nuanced and satisfying drinking experience.
With that in mind, we've put together our favourite low-alcohol Brix Rum cocktails. These libations are designed to be light on alcohol content while heavy on satisfaction. The result? A perfect companion for lazy afternoons by the pool, sunset gatherings, or impromptu beach BBQs.
