This is the only Alcohol-Alternative that’s Actually Good for you!
If you’re looking to drink less alcohol, there are a lot of alternative beverages to consider, but what makes you want to drink them? Beer or wine with alcohol removed is like having all of the calories with none of the fun. What about alcohol-free spirits? On their own, they are often hard to swallow, so you’re forced to include them in elaborate cocktail creations, which once again leaves something lacking in the fulfillment department. Is there a better way? Juke better believe it! 🙂 Here’s a look at an alcohol-free alternative that not only tastes good but is good for you, low in calories, and perfectly portable for summer: The Sparkling Collection by Jukes Cordialities.

What is Jukes Cordialities?
Jukes Cordialities was created by Matthew Jukes in London in 2020 after he discovered a gap in the alcohol-free marketplace. As a professional wine taster and writer with over 35 years of experience, he found he was often looking for an alcohol-free adult beverage to pair with food during mid-week meetings where he’d be dining out. Still, there was nothing that contained the same complexity as wine. They also didn’t taste good or were loaded with sugar to compensate for the lack of alcohol.
Jukes Cordialities are crafted with organic apple cider vinegar and a variety of fruits and herbs. It’s a beverage that evolves as you drink it, in part to exposure to oxygen, and from beginning to end, no sip is the same.
Jukes 1 is known as “The White” and offers a citrus and herb theme. Jukes 6 is “The Red” and contains rich notes of blackcurrant and pepper. Lastly, there is Jukes 8, which mimics a “Rosé” and features a layering of fruits, vegetables, and spices from the Provençal countryside.
The original product comes in 1 oz bottles that are ready to mix with your choice of still, sparkling, or tonic water. One bottle is meant to make two glasses of Jukes. The new Jukes Cordialities Sparkling Collection is canned and ready to enjoy and is 250 ml or one perfect glass. All products are made in London.
Jukes Cordialitites combines creator Matthew Jukes’s last name and cordialities, which mean more than just pleasantries in this case. A cordial is also a “pleasant tasting medicine,” which is just what you’re looking for when purging your body of the toxic effects of alcohol.
What are the Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar is known to have many health benefits. Not only does it help aid digestion, but it also appears to help with weight loss – possibly from the feeling of satiety that follows after you enjoy the bubbly brew. Some findings say it may help lower blood sugar and cholesterol.
The best way to reap all the benefits of apple cider vinegar without any side effects is to enjoy it diluted in water, which you get with Jukes, so you can’t over-juke it. Each can includes the recommended dose of 1 tablespoon per serving.

Jukes 1, “The Sparkling White,” features notes of stone fruit, citrus, and fresh herbs. It’s on the dryer side and is light and bubbly until the end. This flavor was awarded a bronze medal from the World Alcohol-Free Awards in 2023. Ingredients include carbonated water, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, peach, cucumber, plum, apple, and pineapple. One ready-to-drink can contains just 40 calories.
Jukes 6, “The Sparkling Red,” is deliciously bold and rich. This flavor was awarded a silver medal from the World Alcohol-Free Awards in 2023. Elements in this beverage include blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, and plum, along with carbonated water, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. One ready-to-drink can contains just 40 calories.
Jukes 8, “The Sparkling Rosé,” is like a trip to Provence, and this flavor holds a gold medal from the World Alcohol-Free Awards in 2023. Are you seeing a pattern here? Components of The Sparkling Rosé are cucumber, watermelon, pear, melon, raspberry, apple, and rhubarb, in addition to the carbonated water, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar accompanying the other beverages. One ready-to-drink can contains just 40 calories.
Favorite Flavors from The Sparkling Collection
While everyone’s palate differs, my favorite is The Sparkling Red. The first sip defies expectations of how deep the flavor of a carbonated beverage can be, and it’s delightful from start to finish.
My second favorite is The Sparkling Rosé which is like sipping on summer. You also can’t help but feel lighter after these drinks, and often, my mood matches the effervescence in my glass.
The Sparkling Collection is perfect for outdoor picnics and other events where you need refreshing drinks that are ready to go. You may even be surprised that children like it just as much as adults, and unlike other alcohol-free beverages, they aren’t loaded with caffeine or extra sugar.
If you’re looking for a replacement for alcohol at the end of the day, a Sparkling Jukes is satisfying and signals to your brain that enjoyment is at hand.
