A Non-Alcoholic Spirit That Actually Has a Backbone

Here's the uncomfortable truth: most alcohol-free spirits are bland, forgettable nonsense. They taste like someone waved a botanical in the general direction of some water and called it a day.

The Pathfinder is not that. This is one of only a handful of non-alcoholic spirits we actually stock, and we don't make that decision lightly.

What Makes The Pathfinder Special?

0% Alcohol: Completely alcohol-free. Perfect for everyone, pregnant, driving, training, or simply choosing not to drink.

Hemp & Wormwood: Bold, distinctive botanicals that give this spirit real character and complexity.

Proper Aperitif Character: Herbal, bitter, sophisticated, designed to stimulate your palate, not coddle it.

Mix It or Sip It: Brilliant in a Negroni-style serve, equally compelling on its own over ice.

No Compromise: Full flavour, zero alcohol. No hangover, no regrets, no missing out.

Hemp, Wormwood & Serious Flavour

The Pathfinder is built around hemp and wormwood, two botanicals that bring genuine depth, bitterness, and herbal complexity. This isn't a spirit trying to please everyone. It's bold, it's distinctive, and it's unapologetically itself.

The result? A proper aperitif with backbone. Herbal, slightly bitter, endlessly interesting. At 0% alcohol, it's inclusive enough for everyone to enjoy, but sophisticated enough that you won't feel like you're drinking a compromise.

Why We're So Selective About Non-Alcoholic Spirits

We've tasted dozens of alcohol-free spirits. Most of them are forgettable at best, offensive at worst. We only stock the ones we'd actually drink ourselves.

The Pathfinder made the cut because it refuses to play it safe. It's got character, complexity, and a point of view. When we find more spirits that meet our standards, we'll add them. Until then, this is one of the chosen few.

For Aperitif Lovers Who Choose Sober

Whether you're sober-curious, pregnant, the designated driver, training for something ambitious, or simply choosing not to drink tonight, you deserve an aperitif with personality.

The Pathfinder gives you all the ritual, sophistication, and complexity of a proper botanical spirit, with hemp and wormwood leading the charge, minus the alcohol.

Because choosing not to drink shouldn't mean choosing boring.

Kev's Verdict

"Most non-alcoholic spirits try too hard to be inoffensive and end up being forgettable. The Pathfinder does the opposite, it's bold, herbal, and genuinely interesting.

The hemp and wormwood give it a distinctive character that actually makes you want another sip. It's 0% alcohol, so everyone can enjoy it, but it's got enough complexity to keep serious drinkers engaged.

This is one of the very few non-alcoholic spirits I'd happily serve to guests." - Kevin, Functional Drinks Club

Your Sober Sommelier

Hi, I'm Kev, the Founder of Functional Drinks Club. I set-up FDC when I decided to get serious about my health after turning 40.

A big part of that was to stop drinking alcohol and to improve my gut health so I could live a healthier + happier + stronger life.

When I started cutting down on alcohol I discovered that the supermarkets weren't stocking the bangers being produced by Craft Brewers across the UK.

Functional Drinks Club is set-up to help people find amazing drinks without a Becks Blue in sight.

Everything you need to know before you order

Important Information

What is Functional Drinks Club?

Functional Drinks Club is a shop in Leeds that helps people to live an alcohol free life and improve their gut health.

it's all about conscious living and helping people to turn off the auto-pilot switch and to experience life full on.

Where do the non-alcoholic spirits come from?

We're on a journey to find the best non-alcoholic spirits being made around the world.

Most of them are really bad. What you'll find in this collection are the ones that we believe are good enough to sell to our customers.

We will keep on searching and sampling because non-alcoholic spirits are getting better.

Who is hand-picking the non-alcoholic Spirits?

Our very own Sober Sommelier Kev Gillespie who has over 25 years drinking experience rather than 25 years in the alcohol industry selling camel's piss.

He's the Founder of Functional Drinks Club which was set-up to help people find good non-alcoholic craft drinks on their journey to living alcohol-free.

You won't find anything in this collection that Kev doesn't recommend or sell in the shop.

Can I order online and pick the box up in the shop?

You better believe you can.

Order your box, then come and collect it any day we're open once we've pinged you an email saying it's good to go.

The shop address for pick-up is:

Functional Drinks Club
7 Manor Square
Otley
LS21 1JQ

We'll also deliver anywhere in the UK, so if you can't make it to the shop at least you know you'll be getting handpicked bangers sent direct to your door.

Why won't I find these bangers in the supermarket?

Because supermarkets don't care about selling their customers quality, they're only interested in profit.

And unfortunately, they're all tied in with the big drinks brands who take up a lot of the shelf space meaning the real bangers don't get the airtime they deserve.

Functional Drinks Club is Viva la Revolution.

Actually, we're just a shop that wants to make sure people get access to the real bangers being made in the UK.

How long does the delivery take?

Allow for 3 - 4 working days for delivery depending on when you order it.

If you want it by the weekend then make sure you order no later than Wednesday.

Do you do returns?

We don't do returns on anything opened or because you've taken a sip and decided you don't like it.

We're really confident that the latter won't happen because if we were selling camels piss no-one would come back to the shop in person.

If none of the above applies, we need to know within 24 hours of the box being delivered. Past that, who knows what you've been doing.

If you live local, happy for you to come into the shop and replace any unopened bottles that still have a good BB date on them.

If that package is seriously damaged and the drinks inside are beyond saving, then send a picture to kevin@functionaldrinksclub.co.uk with you in it smiling and we'll look at getting a gift voucher to the equivalent amount your way.
