Scotmid launch non-alcoholic champagne-inspired cocktail

Scotmid are excited to announce the arrival of The Start-Up
Drinks Lab’s non-alcoholic champagne-inspired Sparklingly Sober range becoming
the first retailer to stock the refreshing Nomosa.

Based in Port Glasgow, The Start-Up Drinks Lab opened in May
2018 with investment support from Scotmid and have since gone on to become
crowned Food and Drink Company of the Year at the Made in Scotland awards in
the summer.

Now the Start-Up Drinks Lab have launched its range of
non-alcoholic sparkling cocktails with its low calorie content and high quality
ingredient list; just in time for Christmas.

Made in small batches by a team of less than 12 people,
Sparklingly Sober’s range includes Nomosa, which will launch in Scotmid.

Using Scottish water, Nomosa blends blood orange, mango and
chilli; inspired by a Mimosa and contains less than 64 calories per 330ml
serve.

Nomosa is available in 750ml bottles and will be available
at all Scotmid stores throughout December and January.

Scotmid Local Sourcing Manager Kirsty George said: “We’re
really excited about the introduction of the Sparkingly Sober range into our
stores and becoming the exclusive stockists of Nomosa.

“Our friends at The Start-Up Drinks Lab have produced a
refreshing range of beverages and we’re thrilled to be able to co-operate with
them to bring the Nomosa into our stores.

“We believe our members and customers will appreciate this
new and appealing non-alcoholic choice and that these delicious drinks will
prove to be very popular around Christmas and New Year.

“The arrival of the Sparkingly Sober range is the latest
chapter in our ongoing commitment to supporting local suppliers and we’re
looking forward to seeing our customers enjoy another new quality product.”

The Start-Up Drinks Lab’s Co-Founders Hannah Fisher and
Craig Strachan said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Scotmid, who will
be the first national retailer to launch the Sparklingly Sober range and have
selected our newest flavour, Nomosa, to stock in all of their stores.

“We felt that there was a limited choice of non-alcoholic
alternatives available for adults, so our Sparkling Sober range will now
provide a refreshing new choice.”
