Wrong Camera, Right Cocktails: How to Use the Whole Free Spirits Lineup
Ever stared at your bar cart and wondered: “What do I do with all these Free Spirits bottles?” In Lesson 5 of our ongoing Free Spirits 101 series, Steve (aka The Brit Behind Bars) answers exactly that — with an armful of cocktail tips, a few bleeps, and more opinions on Margaritas than we asked for.
From The Spirit of Milano to The Spirit of Tequila, this episode is your quick-start guide to unlocking big flavor from every bottle — without the booze, and without falling down.
Here’s How to Use Every Free Spirits Bottle:
- The Spirit of Aperitivo Milano – Serve over a big ice cube with a twist of orange, or top with soda or tonic for an easy spritz.
- The Spirit of Bourbon – Shake up a sour: maple syrup, lemon juice, bitters. Classic, balanced, zero-proof.
- The Spirit of Gin – G&T time: premium tonic + lime wedge = simple perfection.
- The Spirit of Tequila – It’s got to be a Margarita. Lime juice, agave, salt rim, or pair it with a mixer and keep it moving.
- The Spirit of Vermouth Rosso – Sip it over ice with an orange twist, or go full Negroni (equal parts Gin, Milano, and Vermouth).
Why This Series Exists
We created Free Spirits 101 to prove what most “mocktail” menus miss: non-alcoholic cocktails don’t have to be boring. Each lesson is packed with tips, recipes, and wildly unpredictable behind-the-scenes moments, so you can mix smarter and drink better, one bottle at a time.
💡 Pro Tip: Start with the cocktails you already love. Then just sub in Free Spirits and skip the hangover. Easy.
