The Pathfinder: The Best Non-Alc Tipples for your Dad this Father's Day

Fermented and distilled, this hemp-based elixir transforms your booze-free concoction with its bold flavours and Old West mystique 

This Father's Day, elevate your cocktails to revolutionary new heights with The Pathfinder Hemp and Root, the cult non-alcoholic spirit that has taken the US by storm. 

Inspired by the mysteries of Old West apothecaries, alternative medicine and the supernatural, The Pathfinder “lifts the veil of illusion” with its bold flavours and distinctive character – an ingenious elixir for a sunny-day serve that takes a step away from the ordinary.

While its exact formulation remains a closely guarded secret, The Pathfinder Hemp and Root is crafted with a methodical three-step process: the fermentation of naturally harvested hemp seed into a powerful elixir; distillation in 16th-century-style copper pot stills; the artful blending together of angelica root, wormwood, ginger, sage, juniper, saffron, orange peel and wild-crafted Douglas-fir, as well as natural terpenes.

The result is an aroma of sweet citrus and fresh pine followed by heavier botanical bitters. On the palate, relish the flavours of herbs, citrus, hemp and bitter extracts with an aftertaste of characterful complexity. (This means "Yes! It is the most delicious drink we have tried, alcoholic or otherwise in several years!") 

Whether sipped solo, taken as a shot, served on the rocks or used to add aromatic intensity to your favourite classic cocktail concoction, The Pathfinder’s versatility makes it a fervently delicious ingredient for any occasion – from sun-drenched afternoon reveries to leisurely sundowners. Or for reflecting sipping as you hide from a British thunderstorm in your conservatory, which happened today.)

This wild and enigmatic liquid always travels well in its signature spritz, with a simple splash of citrus and a rush of bubbles. Or discover The Pathfinder’s own harmonious marriage of distillates, extracts, tinctures and oils in these spring and summer serves:
