WELCOME TO OCADO: Sea Arch Drinks
Long walks on the beach tend to be relaxing for most people – but for the team behind Sea Arch Drinks, they were a source of great inspiration.
Their version of ‘dreaming a little dream’ came when they were running their own wine bar by the sea in Devon (sounds divine). They wanted a way for people to enjoy their favourite flavoursome tipples without the nasty hangover the next day. With that added feel-good factor in mind, Sea Arch Drinks came to fruition. It’s a completely alcohol-free spirit and leaves most of the calories you’d normally find in a drink of its kind out too. Nice that.
Bursting with pure seaside botanicals, they’ve found a way to literally bottle up that beach feeling. Pair it with tonic or other mixers for a versatile take on classic cocktails. If you imagine a Devonshire coastline as you’re sipping that Sea Arch & T, then more power to you. And because persevering the ocean is so important to this company, no single-use plastic is used in their packaging. All their boxes for shipping are made out of recycled cardboard and the paint on each bottle is fully solvent-free. Let’s just say that being environmentally-friendly comes naturally to them.
So, if you’re looking for a way to say sugar-free, alcohol-free and even allergen-free this year, Sea Arch is here to set you free. Try these cocktail recipes to get started with your Sea Arch journey.
Seaside Sunrise
Nothing finishes off a beautiful day at the beach quite like a seaside sunrise. And if you can’t get a natural one, this citrusy tipple will do very nicely. Enjoy it with a touch of cinnamon spice for an added kick.
Ingredients
- 50ml Sea Arch Coastal Juniper
- 25ml unsweetened cranberry juice

Cucumber and Basil
When you think of relaxing spa days, you might imagine a few cucumber slices over someone’s eyes. This drink takes the refreshing nature of cucumber and muddles it into a fragrant drink that’s best served long.

Bees and Seas
Sea Arch doesn’t just do cool beachy flavours – it can even go sweet or sour, depending on the mood you’re in. The sting of the vinegar bite in Bees and Seas will go down quite nicely with a dose of honey syrup.
