Sparkling summer drinks

Sparkling summer drinks with and without alcohol

In summer we prefer refreshing, cold drinks. They should be nice and bubbly and tingling so that they invigorate and cheer us up even in sweaty temperatures. And please not too sweet, otherwise the drink will not quench our thirst, but will actually increase it! Luckily, the range of delicious summer drinks with and without alcohol is now quite large!

What will be the new summer drink of 2024?

Even if summer drinks are subject to certain trends from time to time: the good things remain! In this case, this refers to the popular Spritz drinks that have accompanied us through the warm months in recent years. No wonder: summer drinks like the Aperol Spritz , with their bittersweet note, put you in a good mood even when the thermometer reaches record-breaking heights. The “spritz version” of limoncello is also an ideal refreshing drink for the summer. In this case it is prepared with Prosecco and embodies a perfect holiday feeling. Another trend that we will probably hear a lot about in summer 2024 is the alcohol-free Herbi Spritz . Drivers can also enjoy it without worry, and it provides the ultimate boost of freshness on hot days. If you're looking for really "cool" summer drinks and their recipes, you should definitely try the following:
Simply 2 to 4 cl Dr. Fill Jaglas Herber Hibiscus with non-alcoholic Prosecco or alternatively non-alcoholic sparkling wine, add ice cubes and a bouquet of rosemary as a garnish, done! A tangy treat that guarantees tingling fun on the tongue!

Refreshing summer drinks with alcohol

Of course, in addition to the trends mentioned, there are many more summer drinks that get us through the warm season easily and carefree. A timeless classic, for example, is the punch. Our grandparents already loved the mixed drink with white wine, fruit and other ingredients. Today, the punch has long had cult status and is not only prepared for the currently popular 70s retro parties, but also for summer birthday parties, family reunions and neighborhood parties. Most people also associate the aperitif with moody summer evenings. It is served before a meal in the beach restaurant, but is also an integral part of almost every garden party. Cocktails and long drinks are as much a part of summer as the beach is of the sea. Typical ingredients are coconut, melon, strawberry, pineapple, papaya and mango. Depending on the recipe, this is accompanied by spirits such as vodka, rum, tequila and gin. But be careful: Especially when temperatures are very high and/or when the air is humid, cocktails and long drinks can quickly go to your head, as their alcohol content is often considerable! The consumption of summer drinks should always be kept within a certain limit. On the other hand, if you drink refreshing drinks without alcohol , you can enjoy sociable summer evenings with a clear head and don't have to worry about the dreaded hangover the next day. As the following paragraph shows, there are plenty of alternatives!

Refreshing summer drinks without alcohol

For many people it is clear: alcoholic summer drinks should not be missing at garden and barbecue parties, but also on cozy summer evenings on the balcony. But what about pregnant women, nursing mothers and people who avoid consuming alcohol? These people - and of course everyone else - don't have to miss out on first-class enjoyment and can quench their thirst with the delicious, alcohol-free alternatives from Dr. Jaglas breastfeeding. Summer drinks like Herber Hibiskus and San Limello are just as sparkling, fruity, refreshing and cheerful as alcoholic summer drinks. They stand for carefree joie de vivre and fun, for sophisticated enjoyment and fascinating taste experiences, but also for a strong “we feeling” and a completely new lifestyle that is increasingly on the rise. There is the San Limello with the irresistible taste of lemons, grapefruit and a subtle nuance of honey: without a doubt, it is more than just an equal replacement for the Limoncello, because it makes the taste buds rejoice and fills the heart and soul with a touch of "Bella Italia" . The herbal hibiscus has a no less fascinating aura and is also a prime example of refreshing drinks without alcohol. The potpourri of hibiscus flowers, elderberries, rosemary, vanilla and bitter orange is the perfect refreshing drink for the summer, it enchants the senses and automatically makes people smile. Just give it a try!

Delicious summer drinks for children

Even if children should primarily drink water and sugar-free tea in everyday life, many parents make an exception on hot summer days and also allow lemonade and soft drinks . Of course, parents should always decide this individually. An alternative could also be homemade summer drinks . Of course, we also have refreshing summer drink recipes: For example, puree the cubes of a watermelon together with strawberries and the juice of two limes and then fill the whole thing with water. Place the summer drink in the refrigerator and add ice cubes before serving. This refreshment is sure to be a hit with kids! Also delicious: A coconut milk shake made from 250 milliliters of coconut milk, 300 milliliters of milk, 200 grams of fresh pineapple and two ripe bananas. Puree everything well, cool and, if desired, sprinkle with coconut flakes before serving. So it doesn't always have to be a sugar bomb for children!

Alkohol und Sport

Alcohol and sports

Alcohol and sport: not a good combination!

Do you know a really successful and good professional athlete who regularly drinks hard drinks after training or competition? Definitely not, because alcohol and exercise don't mix. Although some athletes grab a glass of champagne or a bottle of beer during a victory celebration, ambitious athletes know very well that this should remain an exception. There are now also some great non-alcoholic alternatives that are just as great to toast to victory with!

What is alcohol and how is it absorbed by the body?

Alcohol is created through a biochemical process when bacteria or yeast ferment and break down sugar. If certain foods are added to this process, alcoholic drinks can be produced. For example, wine is made from grapes and beer is made from hops and malt. The alcohol content can be increased by distillation. Such drinks are then called spirits . This category includes, among others, schnapps, vodka, whiskey and cognac. On the other hand, flavors and sugar are added to a liqueur after distillation. Alcohol has a tradition going back thousands of years as a food, drink and intoxicant. We mainly absorb it through our stomach. After a few minutes it then reaches our brain via the bloodstream. There it then unfolds its infamous effect. After an hour at the latest it has spread throughout the body. Sometimes the effect occurs much earlier. For example, in people who drink alcohol very quickly or on an empty stomach. Or even when alcohol is consumed after training or sport.

Alcohol and sport: What effects can alcohol have on the training effect?

As already mentioned, alcohol and exercise make a very bad duo. Ultimately, the drinks make you tired and reduce your ability to react: no athlete can afford to do either, because then top performance is not possible. Fatigue means that training is only half-hearted and with much less power, and the reduced ability to react significantly increases the risk of injury. If you're unlucky, you'll injure yourself so badly that you'll have to take a long break from sports or have to give up sport completely. Ultimately, alcohol also inhibits muscle building because it slows down important metabolic processes. So if you repeatedly consume alcohol after training, you shouldn't be surprised if your muscle mass simply doesn't want to increase despite the greatest effort and maximum commitment. Since alcohol removes water from the body, the muscles are also less supplied with minerals and nutrients. In the worst case, this can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, which are often very dangerous. There are plenty of reasons, especially for athletes, to avoid alcohol. And the best thing: It's never too late to start giving up ! Then the muscle building works again.

How long should I not consume alcohol before sporting competitions?

Alcohol can have a negative impact on performance for up to 48 hours after consumption. So be sure to take a sufficiently long break from alcohol before your competition so that your body has enough time to break it down again. With the non-alcoholic drinks from Dr. You still don't have to miss out on the best enjoyment before exercising, especially since varieties like San Limello and Herbe Hibiscus really refresh and invigorate you. Alcohol can also impair recovery after strenuous training or a challenging competition, especially if consumed too early. After exercising, drink soft drinks to quench your thirst and eat foods high in carbohydrates and proteins. Otherwise the alcohol could have too strong an effect on your body because the organism is initially weakened by the enormous exertion. So give yourself and your body some time. Afterwards you can always toast your success with an alcoholic drink . If you follow these tips, alcohol and exercise can at least be combined to some extent. It is of course better to completely avoid alcohol before and after training as well as before and after competitions. Just try the non-alcoholic drinks from Dr. Jaglas : I'm sure you'll get a taste for it too, and then the incompatibility of alcohol and sport will no longer be an issue!

Alcohol and sports professionals: Good reasons to avoid alcohol

Of course, there are also professional athletes who occasionally drink alcohol. Some athletes probably treat themselves to a glass immediately before training or competition. For example, to compensate for nervousness and pressure. But the fact is that these athletes cannot perform as well as they would without alcohol . According to scientists and doctors, there are no professional athletes who regularly drink large amounts of alcohol and still perform first-class. Because alcohol and exercise just don't mix. Neither do muscle building and alcohol . Anyone who avoids hard liquor is doing something good for their health, reducing the risk of various illnesses and being able to enjoy their sporting success much more consciously.

Mindful drinking

Mindful drinking

Mindful drinking

In our society, it has long been considered good form to say “yes” to alcoholic drinks . Whether it was the after-work beer with colleagues, the girls' evening that no one could imagine without Prosecco, the summer barbecue party with plenty of "barley juice" or the social gathering at the Christmas market where mulled wine and strong Jagertee were naturally ordered, there was always alcohol included. This habit has now changed somewhat. A new drinking culture , which can be equated with a real lifestyle, is becoming more and more popular: Mindful Drinking .

What is Mindful Drinking?

Translated, the English/American term means “ mindful drinking ” or “ conscious drinking ”. So it's about deciding consciously every day in the appropriate situations whether it actually has to be an alcoholic drink again or whether today's drinking pleasure will be non-alcoholic . You don't have to say "yes" to every alcoholic drink you're offered: when eating together in a restaurant, at a birthday party or when your new colleague makes his debut in the office. You can, may and should say “no” and toast with a non-alcoholic drink . For the sake of your health, your well-being and your body.

As the term suggests, Mindful Drinking has its roots in Anglo-Saxon countries. A real " sober " or " sober" movement has even developed there, and no one is laughed at or even looked at askance if an alcoholic aperitif is refused before a meal. Quite the opposite: Mindful Drinking found and continues to find more and more followers among young people there. You no longer only belong to the community or clique when alcohol is consumed. Everyone can do without individually and consciously. And this decision is also fully accepted. Over time, the new drinking culture has spread to us. As mentioned, Mindful Drinking does not describe the complete abstinence from alcohol : the new zeitgeist is rather the “light version” of complete abstinence. That's exactly why mindful drinking isn't difficult for most people. At the weekend, the cocktail in the club or the herbal bitters after the Sunday roast, then during the week there are non-alcoholic versions that are at least as tasty: this is what mindful drinking could look like for you too.

Why should I try Mindful Drinking?

The advantages are clear: the risk of cardiovascular diseases decreases, the immune system becomes stronger, the complexion improves, and of course the liver is happy too. You won't have a hangover the next day either, and you won't be lying on the couch with a headache while the weather outside is perfect for great activities. Ultimately, mindful drinking also leads to maintaining control: over actions, but also over spoken words. If you still want to get behind the wheel, alcohol should be taboo for you anyway, but high-proof drinks in particular can loosen your tongue. People then say things - for example to their boss or to friends - that they later deeply regret and that can put them in embarrassing and precarious situations.

How do I get started with mindful drinking?

Take some time and write down when you consume alcohol, why, with whom and how much alcohol. This will give you a good overview of your drinking habits, which can sometimes even be downright frightening. Then question your drinking behavior. Many people are not even aware of the amounts that come together over the course of a week. Above all, the reasons why people turn to alcohol can be very different. For some, it's simply the supposed "peer pressure" that actually doesn't exist. Others simply love the taste of alcoholic beverages; they drink for fun, pleasure or because they want to relax. Sometimes the focus is simply on boredom or an attempt to suppress problems. Once you have realized the reasons for consuming alcohol, it is usually much easier to consciously abstain at least from time to time. After all, you can have a lot of fun without alcohol, celebrate or enjoy relaxing hours on the couch at home.

Are other countries further along than us when it comes to alcohol-free alternatives?

As already mentioned, mindful drinking has already become very popular, especially in the USA and Great Britain. But it is only a matter of time before more people consciously abstain and turn to alcohol-free alternatives on certain occasions. Word is slowly getting around that alcohol is not necessary to toast, relax and celebrate and that a non-alcoholic aperitif or cocktail can taste really delicious.

The alcohol-free alternatives from Dr. Jaglas is now conquering not only private party rooms and parties, but also company and commercial events. Mindful drinking is already a natural part of good etiquette. And the trend is contagious: Anyone who has not yet dared to refuse champagne or schnapps for their colleague's birthday for fear of being laughed at is taking an example from supporters and joining in. The community is getting bigger and bigger, because it's just good to go through life alcohol-free more often.

Limoncello

Limoncello

Limoncello: the delicious all-rounder from "Bella Italia"

Endless lemon groves covered by a bright blue, cloudless sky, magical villages with picturesque streets and just around the corner the sparkling sea: When we enjoy limoncello , we automatically feel like we have been transported to the “land where the lemons bloom”. Goethe had already fallen hopelessly into Italy. Did he already taste the seductive liqueur back then? Whatever the case, the Mediterranean specialty is undoubtedly one of the most popular spirits in the world today. In this article you will find out why, how you can enjoy the liqueur and why Limoncello is something very special even without alcohol.

What is limoncello?

The popular liqueur is produced precisely in the Italian regions that embody the famous "Dolce Vita" for us: along the paradisiacal Amalfi Coast, in the beautiful Gulf of Naples and on the sunny island of Sicily. Its extraordinary aroma and intoxicating scent are primarily due to the (of course untreated) lemon peels. Of course, only the best, fruitiest and most intensely flavored varieties are used!
The production involves several complex work steps. Particular care must be taken when peeling the lemons, as the white under the peel has no place in the liqueur. It would give it an undesirable bitter note. The lemons must therefore be peeled very thinly. Once this step is completed, the bowls are allowed to steep in 95 percent alcohol for about four weeks. Then add a mixture of sugar and warmed water. After another resting period, the liqueur is filtered. It now has an alcohol content of between 30 and 35 percent and is usually enjoyed ice cold. Either as a fruity aperitif or digestif before and after a meal or as a sparkling ingredient for creative cocktails. It is even ideal for cooking, baking and desserts! By the way: If you avoid hard liquor, you can also enjoy limoncello alcohol-free !

How do I prepare homemade limoncello?

There are several ways to make your own delicious lemon liqueur . However, for all variants you need around ten untreated organic lemons. Peel these carefully and thinly with a vegetable peeler so that nothing white remains. Now put the shells in a container and add, for example, 0.7 liters of grain. Leave the container in a cool place for at least two weeks. Shake occasionally. Then sieve and collect the liquid. Now boil 800 grams of sugar in around 300 milliliters of water and let the whole thing simmer for a maximum of ten minutes. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, the liquid must first cool down. Now the solution is mixed with 100 milliliters of lemon juice and the lemon schnapps made. Store in a cool place, let it rest for a while and then enjoy as you please! Alternatively, you can also use vodka or - this recipe is particularly close to the original - 95 percent alcohol. You can usually get it at the pharmacy. If you want to make limoncello yourself, you will need some time and patience because the liqueur must be able to brew well.

What else can you do with limoncello besides drinking it?

Did you know that you can also use the popular lemon liqueur very well in the kitchen? For example, for a wonderfully delicious limoncello tiramisu or a refreshing cream with cream cheese and cream yoghurt . It doesn't matter whether you make the limoncello yourself or use a finished product. Non-alcoholic limoncello is also a great option, especially if children and/or pregnant women snack on the dessert! But the fruity liqueur wouldn't be an all-rounder if it wasn't also suitable for baking. A cheesecake with limoncello, for example, is simply irresistible at any time of the year. Or try a juicy limoncello cake ! It instantly becomes a star on every coffee table and literally melts in your mouth. Of course, non-alcoholic limoncello can be a tasty alternative here too. Fine limoncello cookies can be on the Christmas plate. In addition to the liqueur, all you need is flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, an egg and a little lemon juice. The result is simply heavenly! That leaves the classic: limoncello sorbet . With a hint of mint and basil, it provides a wonderful kick of freshness on hot days. Extra tip: The sorbet becomes particularly sparkling if you add Prosecco to the limoncello!

Is there non-alcoholic limoncello?

Yes, limoncello can be alcohol-free! Dr. With San Limello, Jaglas offers you an alcohol-free alternative that doesn't have to hide behind the high-proof original in terms of taste and is very versatile. For example, you can prepare it as an aperitif , cocktail or “ spritz ” and experience unique taste moments that, just like the high-proof version, will take you mentally to “Bella Italia”. Even though limoncello is alcohol-free , it carries the fresh acidity of ripe lemons, which is complemented by lovely notes of honey and grapefruit. Non-alcoholic limoncello tickles the tongue and delights the palate. He represents the typical Italian “Dolce Vita” and radiates a carefree joy of life. Ideal for pregnant women and anyone who avoids alcohol for a variety of reasons!
Baby Shower Party

Baby shower party

The baby shower party: everything about the popular trend

When a baby arrives, it's not just an exciting and joyful event for the expectant parents . The family and friends are also happy and can hardly wait until the new citizen sees the light of day. In order to express the excited anticipation, the baby shower trend has also caught on with us. It originally comes from the USA and is becoming increasingly popular here. With the alcohol-free alternatives from Dr. Jaglas can also be enjoyed by pregnant women without worrying about having to miss out on a perfect taste experience! Today's article explains the baby shower party trend in more detail.

What is a Baby Shower Party?

The baby shower is a celebration held in honor of the expectant mother. This shows the pregnant woman how much family and friends are looking forward to the arrival of the little human child. Of course, the focus is entirely on the future mother. She is really pampered during the baby shower and doesn't have to worry about anything: not even the organization and shopping.

Of course, she also receives great gifts from her family and friends for this occasion. These can either be nice touches that will help her feel even better during pregnancy, or practical presents for the baby.

And so that she can enjoy delicious drinks and cocktails just like her guests that evening, Dr. Jaglas not only offers high-quality spirits with alcohol , but also non-alcoholic aperitifs , which are in no way inferior in taste to their high-proof counterparts.

The party usually takes place in the last trimester of pregnancy. It doesn't matter whether it's right at the beginning of the third trimester or a few weeks before the expected due date. And even if women are mostly among themselves at the party, men are not explicitly excluded. If you like, you are welcome to invite the father-to-be, future uncle or godparent or your favorite work colleague.

Who organizes a baby shower party?

In the USA, the baby shower is traditionally organized by the expectant mother's best friends. You plan, do the errands, set the appointment and write the invitations. They also take care of the organization of the celebration, because the baby shower includes more than “just” a culinary pampering program. However, this approach is of course not set in stone. Family members often plan the party too. These can be the pregnant woman's siblings or sisters-in-law. It's not all that unusual for the expectant mother to be involved in the organization herself or even take over it completely. Maybe the pregnant woman's work colleagues would also like to give the pregnant woman an unforgettable baby shower ? The only important thing is that you agree on things in good time so that there are no overlaps. By the way: The invitations should ideally be sent out several weeks before the celebration. This means everyone has the opportunity to keep their appointment free.

What do you do at a baby shower party?

A baby shower takes place either in the afternoon or evening. The organizers often put together a small buffet that is lovingly decorated. Popular examples of appetizers and snacks include muffins, cake pops, cakes (for example with colorful chocolate lentils), Jell-O and mini meatballs. However, remember to avoid raw meat such as tartare and minced meat, as well as raw milk products, sushi, undercooked eggs and other foods that are unsuitable for pregnant women. In between, games provide fun and variety.


A few suggestions:
- Estimate the waist circumference of the expectant mother
- "Urban-Country-River" exclusively with baby categories (first names, toys, baby equipment, types of porridge, children's songs, etc.)
- Paint the pregnant woman's belly artistically
- "Who am I?" with old baby photos of the party guests
- Test porridge varieties via blind tasting
- Embellish white bibs or bodysuits with textile painting pens
- Determine the “wrapping world champion” on a doll

What drinks should be offered at a baby shower party?

A good mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks is common. Of course, hard liquor can also be avoided completely: after all, many guests will probably come with their own car. Luckily, there are now non-alcoholic alternatives to almost all popular drinks. Sparkling wine or Prosecco can be served at the reception or for a toast. As the celebration continues, liqueurs are well received. Here it can also be one or two special varieties, because after all, a baby shower doesn't take place every day.

The composition of apple and mallow from Dr. Jaglas is good. Or how about a fine gin? Meanwhile, the expectant mother enjoys a delicious San Limello : For example, the non-alcoholic alternative to Italian Limoncello can be used together with tonic and lime to create a fruity “ Limello Spritz ”. An ode to life (in the future) is also the alcohol-free Herbe Hibiscus , which impresses with subtle notes of bitter orange, elderberry, vanilla and rosemary. It can also be transformed into a seductive “ Hibiscus Spritz ” with tonic and lime. Extra tip: Both drinks are also perfect as a souvenir or gift idea for the expectant mother!

Grill Abend

Barbecue evening

The best tips for a successful barbecue evening

One of the highlights of the garden, terrace and balcony season is undoubtedly a carefree barbecue evening . What could be nicer than sizzling meat, fish or vegetables in a friendly atmosphere while enjoying good drinks? However, some planning is required to make the barbecue at home a successful experience.

What do you need for a perfect barbecue evening?

The biggest uncertainty factor is and remains the weather. Even if the weather forecast actually predicts sunshine and warm temperatures, a short shower or a small summer thunderstorm can never be ruled out. If the desired barbecue area is not covered, it may make sense to rent a pavilion or party tent from a local company. In the event of an emergency, at least the tables, chairs and decorations stay dry.
As far as culinary planning is concerned: 250 to 300 grams of meat per person are usually calculated. It doesn't always have to be classic sausages and steaks: How about, for example, hearty burger patties or pulled pork, a popular trend for the Dutch oven? They also offer various salads, grilled baguettes and several grilled sauces. The tempting offering is rounded off with snacks such as stick bread, stuffed mushrooms and potatoes with dip. Be sure to think of vegetarian or vegan alternatives ! Dessert creations such as grilled and baked fruit, apple crumble with ice cream and marshmallow skewers are ideal as a sweet finale.
When it comes to drinks, you should definitely have a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks . Also remember to chill the drinks in good time!

What can I bring with me to a barbecue evening?

When your friends invite you to a barbecue evening , you understandably don't want to show up empty-handed. Side dishes that are based on the motto or theme of the evening are always a good idea. Ice cream is particularly popular on hot days. However, make sure that the frozen refreshment does not melt during transport and can be stored properly on site immediately. If you don't have the time or desire to make side dishes yourself, or if bringing ice cream with you is too difficult, for example because of the distance, "witty" guest gifts are a good idea.

A high-proof herbal bitters in a handy 50 milliliter bottle is sure to delight your hosts. Practical: With Dr. Jaglas you can get the high-quality elixirs, which were elaborately and lovingly produced according to medieval monastery pharmacy recipes , even in a clever pack of six. To enjoy yourself or if there are several invitations to a barbecue evening: the barbecue season lasts for several months!

And very important: don't forget to be in a good mood! So nothing stands in the way of a happy and exuberant barbecue evening!

What are the best drinks for a nice barbecue evening with friends?

Summer drinks that are not too heavy, enjoyed cool and invigorate the spirit are absolutely essential. Make sure you have something to suit every taste. By the way, the appropriate selection is not difficult at all, because the range from Dr. Jaglas is varied and versatile .
Popular alcoholic barbecue evening drinks include the Artichoke Elixir , the Maca Ginseng Elixir and the Golfers Ginseng Elixir . All three variants not only impress with their exquisite ingredients, but also with their magnificent taste experiences. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, responsible drivers and everyone else who doesn't drink alcohol for a variety of reasons don't have to miss out on the very best enjoyment. Simply surprise your friends with the non-alcoholic alternatives to Aperol and Limoncello : Herber Hibiskus and San Limello have a striking similarity in taste to their high-proof "siblings", but do not contain any alcohol at all. Many even find that there is no difference in taste. No wonder: with Dr. For Jaglas, first-class ingredients and innovative recipes are our top priority.
With this in mind: We wish you a wonderful and unforgettable barbecue evening!
Vegane Getränke

Vegan drinks

Vegan drinks - the latest lifestyle trend

New trends are constantly emerging in our society. Some disappear after a short time, others develop into a permanent change of direction. There are currently several trends taking hold that we will all probably be hearing about for some time to come. And that's a good thing, because they revolve around our well-being and that of our fellow creatures, the animals. Today we will introduce some of them in more detail.

What are the current lifestyle trends?

Taking care of your own living conditions , developing an ecological awareness , taking responsibility for nature and animals: all of this has now become self-evident, even for young adults. This also includes a vegan lifestyle , which extends not only to diet and vegan drinks, but to all areas of our lives: for example, the selection of clothing and accessories. A vegan lifestyle helps solve environmental and climate problems, for example by causing fewer greenhouse gases. It is often ethically motivated because vegans do not want to be responsible for the killing, slaughter and exploitation of animals. Ultimately, it can also have a positive influence on your own health because it is intended to prevent various diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure. The gluten-free diet has also developed into a lifestyle trend. And then there is the conscious avoidance of alcohol and sugar , which has so many positive effects that we are devoting a separate paragraph to it below. No question: eating sugar and alcohol-free is also trendy!

Alcohol-free, sugar-free, vegan: Why do more and more people want to avoid alcohol and sugar?

High blood pressure is now a widespread disease that can significantly shorten life expectancy. Alcohol causes levels to skyrocket and has a bad effect on the cardiovascular system. The same applies to sugar. Anyone who eats a diet high in sugar also increases high blood pressure. Fortunately, word has now gotten around about both, and it means that many people are not only vegan, but also alcohol-free and sugar-free , or at least limit their consumption. This works with simple means by choosing drinks that declare sugar-free, alcohol-free and vegan. But sugar should also be eliminated from your daily menu if possible.
Or let’s take our skin as another example. Alcohol and sugar make cell renewal more difficult. As a result, the skin can no longer regenerate as well, it ages faster and appears pale. The sugar can also cause impurities and inflammation. If you want an even, vital, fresh complexion, you should ideally live an alcohol-free, sugar-free and vegan lifestyle.
Another exciting aspect is the ability to concentrate. If you live a largely sugar-free and alcohol-free lifestyle, your insulin levels will remain stable, which has a positive effect on your mental performance. It is true that foods containing a lot of sugar initially cause a "high" caused by the happiness hormone dopamine, but the subsequent "low" follows very quickly. So we can say that people who live predominantly sugar-free, alcohol-free and/or vegan lives feel healthier , more productive and better . This awareness has already become firmly anchored in more and more minds: especially among young people . After all, there are countless options today to either live a vegan life or to lead an enjoyable life despite avoiding alcohol and sugar.

Are the current lifestyle trends reflected in Dr. Jaglas again?

Yes! With Dr. At Jaglas, all varieties are not only gluten-free , but also vegan . We decided to do this with complete conviction, and not just because it is currently “in”. In addition, our products are characterized by other properties that are in line with modern lifestyle trends . This is how the popular Dr. Jaglas Gin, for example, is sugar-free .

Would you prefer your drink to be non-alcoholic? This is also the case with Dr. Jaglas no problem! With Herber Hibiscus and San Limello , we offer you two alternatives that even pregnant women can enjoy without worry and that taste on the same level as their high-proof "siblings" Aperol and Limoncello . Great for mixing with tonic, for example, and for refreshing summer drinks!

A lifestyle trend that we haven't listed yet is the increasing popularity of long-forgotten bitter herbs . They not only pamper the palate and taste buds, but can also have a variety of positive effects on our well-being. You will find the wonderful bitter herbs in the Dr. Jaglas Elixirs Artichoke , Golfers Ginseng and Maca Ginseng . Of course, all three products are sugar-free or sugar-free. With their long finish, they are ideal as a digestif, regardless of whether they are enjoyed neat or with ice cubes.

Non-alcoholic vs. 0.0%

Non-alcoholic vs. 0.0%

The current trend speaks for itself. More and more people are avoiding alcohol and taking advantage of alcohol-free products. Many people probably don't know that there is a difference between alcohol-free and 0.0% . However, some people have probably noticed that there are different names for supposedly alcohol-free products. We often stumble across the expressions “alcohol-free” and “0.0%”, especially when it comes to beer and champagne bottles. But what are the differences and how can you be sure that you have not consumed alcohol?

Does “alcohol-free” mean the same as “0.0”?

No, alcohol-free does not mean the same as 0.0%.
The difference can be explained briefly and succinctly because the origin lies in our German food law. This means that the terms alcohol-free and 0% cannot be used interchangeably. By law, a drink labeled “non-alcoholic” may contain a certain percentage of alcohol.
By law, drinks labeled alcohol-free do not have to be 100% alcohol-free. A residual alcohol level of up to 0.5% is permitted and does not have to be officially labeled by the manufacturer. However, manufacturers are now accommodating their customers and pointing out the residual alcohol content in the drinks.
Manufacturers who mark 0.0% on their products, on the other hand, guarantee a drink without alcohol that can be consumed by anyone without hesitation.
Infographic alcohol-free vs 0.0%

Is non-alcoholic beer suitable for pregnant women?

Drinking a non-alcoholic beer occasionally during pregnancy is not a bad thing at all. The residual alcohol in the beer is so low that pregnant women don't have to worry about drinking a single non-alcoholic beer . However, if you drink several bottles in a row, the alcohol content will be harmful to your baby as the alcohol content adds up.

Non-alcoholic beer vs. non-alcoholic long drink

The difference between non-alcoholic beer and a non-alcoholic long drink lies in the absolute quantity of the non-alcoholic drink. With a non-alcoholic beer, you usually drink an entire bottle or glass. The potential residual alcohol value of up to 0.5% is therefore contained in an amount of 0.3-0.5 liters. However, if you mix a non-alcoholic long drink, the residual alcohol content is often only limited to the 4 cl that is added to the mixed drink. The alcohol content in the non-alcoholic long drink is once again much lower in percentage terms than in a whole non-alcoholic beer.

Sober Bars: The spirit of a new time

Whether in the party capital Berlin, in the south of the country or in the far north, sober bars are also very trendy here. The younger generation in particular is increasingly giving up alcoholic beverages voluntarily and consciously.

The word has gotten around that a good aperitif doesn't have to be high-proof. While it used to be considered cool to consume as much alcohol as possible at parties, today the focus is on the so-called health trend, i.e. physical and mental health.

Have fun and enjoy responsibly at the same time: That should probably be the credo of this attitude to life, which has now developed into a real (drinking) culture. It shows that non-alcoholic drinks and a trendy ambience are not mutually exclusive, but rather form a perfect symbiosis that fully corresponds to today's zeitgeist. Bars make a clear statement because they give people the opportunity to go out, party carefree, meet friends and, of course, stay sober.

Gone are the days when the typical “ Driver Cocktail ” consisted of bland water or monotonous lemonade. Non-alcoholic cocktails are now as sparkling, seductive and irresistibly delicious as their high-proof counterparts.

The Dry January health campaign has become increasingly popular in recent years. This challenge is about more than just giving up alcohol. It is a month of self-reflection and the start of a more conscious life.

What is Dry January?

Originally, “ Dry January ” was a health campaign by the organization Alcohol Change in Great Britain. In 2014, the initiative to abstain from alcohol for a month to mark the New Year starts. The challenge became a sure-fire success on social media; in many countries it is now popular to simply spend January dry.
A similar challenge is “ Sober October ”. This is primarily about health but also about preventing alcohol-related problems. The campaign aims to raise awareness of responsible alcohol consumption.

What happens if you give up alcohol?

Anyone who continues to reduce their alcohol consumption will benefit from the challenge in the long term.

Liver detoxification

The liver is not only our detoxification organ, it is also involved in most metabolic processes in the body. Accordingly, relieving the strain on this important organ has a positive effect on our overall well-being. Alcohol has a toxic effect on the liver; even small amounts can damage liver cells.

weight loss

Alcohol not only provides plenty of calories, but it also blocks fat loss. If you go without it for a month, you may be able to enjoy a small amount of weight loss.

Improved concentration

Last but not least: a good feeling

Anyone who hasn't drunk alcohol for a month will definitely feel good at the end. It is a positive experience to realize that you can have fun and enjoy life without consuming alcoholic beverages. Dry January strengthens our self-confidence and gives us the certainty that we don't need alcoholic drinks.
Alcohol-free January not only offers short-term benefits, but also paves the way to a sustainably healthier lifestyle and increased self-confidence.

What can you drink as a substitute for alcohol?

Dry January is a challenge , but it's actually not about doing without - on the contrary. With a positive attitude, we will quickly realize that we can only win from this experiment.
transparency
At this point you may be wondering what it will be like when you are invited to dinner or when friends want to toast a special event with you. The simplest solution is to share your plan with those around you.
Be open about giving up alcohol in January and talk about the health campaign. Of course, the easiest way to avoid alcohol is to convince your partner before the challenge.
