The alcohol-free spacer has replaced the chaser as the drink that washes down the drink before. Molly Fedick, founder of Buzzkill Wines in Los Angeles, discussed the trend; here are 5 to check out.
Spacers have replaced chasers as the drink that follows the drink. A chaser — typically beer — follows a shot of booze to cleanse the harsh alcohol of strong spirits off the palate. A spacer is a non-alcoholic drink that people enjoy between 'drink' drinks. Spacers keep the beach vibes booming longer and prevent over-boozing.
The buzz-free drinks biz has gone far beyond just water-downed near-beer or non-alcoholic wine. It's now easy to find 'zero-proof' spirits and ready-to-drink packaged cocktails. 'They're for people who like to drink, but just want to drink less,' said Fedick. Spacers have grown increasingly common among young adults who drink less than previous generations did or do. 'It kind of gives you like a drinking placebo effect,' said Fedick.
