NEW YORK, N.Y.— Everleaf, an award-winning non-alcoholic aperitif, first introduced by bartender and conservation biologist Paul Mathew, in January 2019 is crossing the pond to launch in the U.S. in the fall of 2022. Paul Mathew’s background as a conservation biologist, as well as a bartender and bar owner, having opened The Hide, The Arbitrager, and Demon, Wise & Partners in London provided much inspiration and knowledge into the creation of Everleaf. Paul was surrounded by some of the best spirits in the world. He knew what made them great and why. But if someone asked for a non-alcoholic recommendation, the answer wasn’t as easy. How could he create a non-alcoholic aperitif with all the depth and complexity of the finest drinks behind his bar? He knew nature would have the answer.
While looking to craft a wonderfully intricate and layered flavor to recreate alcohol’s unique silky texture, Paul turned to nature. After over a year of experimentation and development, Everleaf was born. Everleaf’s products are anchored to different parts of the natural world, which act as both inspiration for flavor profiles and sources for key botanicals. Everleaf believes what it is created from the natural world should connect you to it, and help protect it.
Paul researched plants, sustainable sourcing, dehydrating samples, macerating, and extracting to get the perfect blend of complementary yet surprising flavors. But then there was the texture. Alcohol’s unique viscosity is usually missing from non-alcoholic drinks. What solutions could the natural world offer to create something similar? Again, he found answers on both land and sea from plants such as acacia trees and seaweeds.
What started as a question is now a passion combining Paul’s unique understanding of nature and experience behind the bar. Everleaf is complex, captivating, and truly is nature’s answer to the perfect non-alcoholic aperitif. The result is a vibrant non-alcoholic aperitif that delivers on the rich sensory experience of a spirit. Everleaf works wonderfully with light tonic water, to create a light and refreshing spritz.
