Never ones to shy away from a pineapple, 2022 started with a sweet bang when we got to try Hey Low’s new pineapple flavoured low-alcohol botanical spirit, which is made for gin lovers. This limited edition, seasonal release is bursting with cool, tropical vibes and is a sunny way to enjoy a taste of summer. “When you take a sip of our Pineapple + Citrus botanical spirit, you’ll experience the excitement of pineapple, a citrus zing from lemon myrtle and mandarin, plus bursts of tropical fruit for a hint of natural sweetness. To us, it just felt like the perfect celebration of long, warm days by the beach,” says co-founder Felishia Abbott.
If you’re wondering how to shake things up with these babies, we’ve rounded up a couple of cocktail ideas from Sideways Liquor and BRKYLN — both leading the way in SA’s low-alcohol movement.
FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE…

FOR SOMETHING FUN…
Head into BRKYLN for A Great Thyme — both the overall vibe AND the name of their delicious low-alc cocktail! It’s made with Hey Low Passionfruit Botanical Spirit, a housemade coconut milk punch, lime, wonderfoam and finished with gorgeous edible flowers.
We’ll take one of each, thanks!
SEND IT ON ITS WAY!
The beauty of Hey Low is that it can be delivered right to your doorstep, wrapped in fully sustainable and recyclable packaging. Just jump onto their website and use the code ADELADY for a free 25g pack of Citrus & Co pineapple garnish with your next order, while stocks last. We’ll definitely drink to that!
LOW-ALC, SAY WHAT?
Hey Low is SA’s very own answer to drinking in moderation, with their low-alcohol botanical spirits proving that if you’re a lover of cocktails, there’s no need to miss out completely. Hey Low contains 75 percent less alcohol than your average gin, while still holding onto the full flavours of the botanicals, including juniper and citrus. Their spirits are gluten- free, sugar-free, vegan friendly, contain no nasties and are only 18 calories per serve. Umm, have we died and gone to low-alc heaven?
