Cocktails have entered the wolf’s den 🐺
Get ready to Feel Good with your favourite Smiling Wolf spirits, expertly mixed into classic cocktails. (Maybe we’re biased, but we think we just left all other canned cocktails in the dust).
🥃 The Negroni
A complex mix of bittersweet notes and a full body flavour.
🍋 The G&T
The perfect blend of juniper, five botanicals and a bright squeeze of lemon.
🍋🟩 The Mojito
Refreshing from the first sip with a balance of fresh mint, vibrant citrus and warm spice.
🍊 The Aperitivo
Try 18 Mediterranean herbs and bitters, topped with sweet soda for a quintessential Italian experience.
Which drink will you add to the mix first? 🍸
Non-Alcoholic Spirit of the Year 2026🎖
And they're just getting started.
@malvika.btn VP at @londoncompetitions , caught up with Hamilton Lowe, Co-Founder of @smilingwolfdrinks at @barconventlondon and this one hit differently.
Hamilton made a point that we think every brand in the low and no space needs to hear. Until someone tastes your product, convincing them of quality is almost impossible. That's the wall every new non-alc brand hits. Winning London Spirits Competition broke that wall for Smiling Wolf.
What's also fascinating is where Hamilton sees the category going next. Functional beverages are making their move into the sophisticated cocktail scene and that's new territory. For years functional drinks lived in the wellness aisle. Now they're on cocktail menus next to some of the best spirits in the world. Smiling Wolf sits right at that intersection, a non-alc botanical that takes the edge off while delivering a genuinely premium drinking experience. That's a hard thing to pull off and they've done it.
Conversations like this are exactly why we come to these events. More of this on the floor at London Wine Fair, come find us 18–20 May. 🇬🇧
London Competition 2027 entries are now open. If your product deserves to be recognised, this is your moment. Link in bio. 🥃

Who’s the Non Alc of the Year 2026?
There can only be one and it could only be Smiling Wolf Botanical.
PLUS three gold awards too, naturally.
Thank you @londoncompetitions and all the judges!
Earth Day AND a new award? Just another Wednesday 🌍
London Spirits Competition agree that our Botanical is out of this world good. Not that we’re surprised 🐺
No better way to celebrate than by making an Elderflower Spritz on a journey through the centre of the earth.
