It is a distilled spirit (much like a vodka or a gin) that uses as its core ingredients botanicals but excludes Juniper which is in all gins. 

It is the above minus the alcohol.  In the case of Mahala it is ‘de-alcoholised’  It starts as a distilled spirit and we macerate the botanicals in a base of neutral grain spirit similar to a vodka.

De-alcoholized beverages are made in the same way that regular alcoholic beverages are made, but once the fermentation process is complete, the alcohol is extracted from the beverage using vacuum distillation (in the case of Mahala Botanical).  Mahala was the first distillery to use vacuum stills in Africa.

We are one of the few ‘Farm to Glass’ alcohol-free drinks, crafted in our own distillery with no compromises.  We are triple-distilled.  We are currently an all-female distillery team.
