WIN! Three lucky winners can bag their choice of three delicious non-alcoholic spirits by STRYKK to raise a toast to a sober October with a cocktail recipe to perk you up!

It’s no secret that we like a tipple here at Round & About Towers… However, with many Brits finding their drinking habits tipping into unhealthy territories over the last 18 months, we’re raising a glass to fantastic alternatives for those who would like to mix it up or commit to Sober October (or a semi-dry variation!).

Distilled and bottled in the UK, STRYKK is a UK-based non-alcoholic spirits brand featuring an impressive range of the highest quality alternative alcohol options.

The latest addition to the range is a pioneering vanilla-flavoured NOT V*DKA, infused with Madagascan vanilla beans. Being the first of its kind to hit the UK market, the new flavour is the perfect component needed to STRYKK the UKs #1 cocktail – a passionfruit martini. We have tried this and it goes down a treat!

The carefully crafted STRYKK distillation process is 100% natural with no sugar, no fat, no carbs and no artificial flavouring. As with all other STRYKK spirits, NOT VANILLA V*DKA is both vegan and gluten-free, and remains one of the healthiest non-alcoholic alternatives currently available on the market.

STRYKK was the first non-alcoholic brand to replicate the flavour and attitude of the mainstream spirits, and is now once again leading from the front by introducing a non-alcoholic vanilla vodka alternative. Whether you opt for a simple serve with cola, or an espresso or passionfruit martini, the NOT VANILLA V*DKA offers an authentic drinking experience – offering all the spirit and none of the alcohol.

CEO and founder Alex Carlton explains: “By launching NOT VANILLA V*DKA we are giving our customers the opportunity to enjoy the UK’s number one selling cocktail the passionfruit martini without the alcohol. Annually 40 million passionfruit martinis are consumed up and down the county, imagine all the pregnant woman, non drinkers, those looking to live a healthier life, or those looking for balance are now able to indulge in their favourite cocktail, alcohol free, lower in calories and lower in sugar.

There has never been a more exciting time and such choice for those looking to moderate their booze intake. This is just the beginning….”

We all love to indulge in sweet things and the new recipe book from Ravneet Gill is a veritable homage to sugar.

Sugar, I Love You serves up some delicious treats from Passion Cake to Rhubarb and Orange Cheesecake and say it quietly, many recipes that actually don’t contain much sugar at all! Knowing when and how to use sugar is, in many ways, the essence of pastry and dessert making according to Ravneet and you can find out exactly what she means with the aid of this gorgeous book.

It’s bursting with colour and flavour, that you’ll literally want to dive right in!

With more photographs and detailed recipes from beginning to end, Sugar, I Love You takes homemade patisserie to the next level with Ravneet’s signature style, wit, and easy-to-follow approach. Interspersed with anecdotes and essays on ‘How not to be a sugar snob’ and ‘What to do when your dinner guest doesn’t eat sugar?’ and we have two copies to give away.

We have three premium olive oil starter kits from OGGLIO up for grabs

Three lucky winners can enjoy an olive oil starter kit (one 500ml bottle and one 3 litres tin to refill it) worth £57 thanks to OGGLIO, a social enterprise producing extra virgin olive oil from Nocellara del Belice olives grown in Western Sicily.

Their olives are hand-picked early in the season and milled the very same day. Early harvest olives yield less oil but produce a more intense flavour and aroma: medium flavoured, with a fruity taste, a grassy scent and a peppery finish.

The OGGLIO team have just launched a Kickstarter campaign for their October 2021 Harvest: if you’d like to support them, and receive their extra virgin olive oil directly to your front door in time for Christmas, please visit ogglio.org
