Mary is a low-alcohol, low-calorie botanical spirit that has six times less alcohol than gin and a vegan-friendly recipe that's free from added sugar, artificial flavors, sweeteners, gluten and GMO ingredients. Made with sustainably and responsibly sourced garden herbs, the botanical blend is said to "taste like summer feels" thanks to basil, thyme, sage and other ingredients.
Eric Sampers, managing director of Illogical Drinks, says: "We wanted to offer something different. At 6% abv and 9 calories per 25ml, there is no one like us out there. As the world gets back to a new normal, we wanted to release Mary now so that drinkers have another option—in between full strength and zero alcohol,”
