Frequently Asked Questions

How is Everleaf made?

We use different methods of extraction according to the plant, so that we get the best flavour in the most sustainable way. Vetiver for example, uses steam distillation, while acacia gum is ground to a fine powder and vanilla is macerated in alcohol. The extracts are then blended together by hand onto our unique textured base liquid.

Does Everleaf contain any alcohol?

Some of our botanical extractions use alcohol as it’s such a great solvent, but Everleaf is less than 0.5% alcohol, so under EU and US regulations, is classified as non-alcoholic. When used in a spritz, this drops to around 0.1%. For comparison, ripe bananas and orange juice can contain as much as 0.5% alcohol.

How many calories are in an Everleaf Spritz?

An Everleaf FOREST Spritz contains 48 calories – 26kcal from 50ml of Everleaf and 23kcal from 150ml of light tonic (or just 26kcal if you mix with soda).

An Everleaf MOUNTAIN Spritz contains 44 calories - 21kcal from 50ml of Everleaf and 23kcal from 150ml of light tonic (44kcal with soda).

An Everleaf MARINE & Tonic contains 38 calories - 15kcal from 50ml of Everleaf and 23kcal from 150ml of light tonic (38kcal with soda).

Does Everleaf contain sugar?

Yes, Everleaf contains sugar. We tried lots of alternatives, including agave syrup (not very sustainable) and honey (not vegan), as well as sweeteners (which all impacted the taste in a very negative way) – we think sugar is the best option, and we get ours from British beet (as this had the smallest carbon footprint when we compared them).

Is Everleaf Vegan?

Yes. (We don’t currently have our own independent certification, but all our ingredients are vegan certified).

Is Everleaf Gluten Free?

Yes, and we're produced on a gluten-free site.

Where is Everleaf made?

Everleaf is blended and bottled in the UK (on the South Coast near Brighton to be precise).

How do you store Everleaf?

Everleaf is best consumed before the BBE date on the bottle, and within 3 months of opening. Refrigeration isn’t necessary.

Why is Everleaf a similar price to alcohol?

We use the best natural ingredients, including some of the world’s most expensive spices (saffron, sustainable Madagascan vanilla and cherry blossom for example). We have also developed our own proprietary production method to add complexity to Everleaf. No other drink uses the same techniques.

Is it safe to drink Everleaf while pregnant?

Everleaf is safe to drink while pregnant. However, if you have any concerns around any of the ingredients listed please consult your GP.
