The country’s premier plant-based food and wine festival, SEED Food & Wine Week, is returning to Miami for the 6th year with four full days of events, from Thursday, November 7 to Sunday, November 10, 2019. Along with unlimited pours and bites from the country’s best plant-based and vegan restaurants, festival-goers can attend workshops and panel discussions focused on sustainable, conscious living as well as a bayside yoga and meditation session.
The festival’s Mixology Director, Jules Aron, will be creating beverage pairings that will feature a variety of options, including zero-proof and low ABV (alcohol by volume) cocktails, for their signature foodie events. Dubbed “the wellness mixologist” by Women’s Health magazine, Aron is a beverage consultant and holistic nutritionist that has been bridging the gap between mind, body and spirit(s) for over a decade.
Zero-Proof Cocktails at SEED Food & Wine Week Miami
Palomita
Reminiscent of a Paloma, a tequila and grapefruit soda cocktail, this zero-proof version kicks up the flavor profile with a little heat from a slice of jalapeno and sweetness of fresh muddled strawberries mixed with La Croix Pamplemousse (grapefruit) sparkling water.
Tea & Tonic
This herbaceous zero-proof spritz embodies the qualities of a classic Gin and Tonic using green tea and syrup made from fresh herbs mixed with La Croix Blackberry Cucumber sparkling water; and garnished with fresh cucumber slices, berries, fresh thyme and lavender.
Holiday Coupe
A spiced hibiscus cocktail with all the holiday flavors, but without the alcohol; made with cup hibiscus tea and Lacroix Cran-Raspberry sparkling water; garnished with fresh raspberries, ginger slice and rosemary sprig.
