When winter rolls in, most of us start craving comfort. A warm fire, cosy nights in, and of course, a seasonal drink in hand. Traditionally, that’s meant mulled wine, eggnog, or a rich hot chocolate — but for those choosing to go alcohol-free, the options often feel a little... underwhelming.
At Brunswick Aces, we think non-alcoholic drinks deserve a place in winter rituals just as much as summer spritzes or weekend G&Ts. That’s why we’ve crafted what might just be the ultimate non-alcoholic winter drink: our Spiced Sapiir Hot Chocolate.
What Is It?
This rich, thick non-alcoholic hot chocolate is infused with our signature Hearts Sapiir — a complex, spiced blend with notes of cassia bark, clove, star anise, and native wattleseed. These botanicals add depth and warmth, elevating the hot chocolate into a full-bodied winter indulgence. It’s topped with flame-torched marshmallows, for that classic fireside feeling.
It’s rich. It’s nostalgic. And it’s completely alcohol-free.
Why Non-Alcoholic Works for Winter
Winter drinks are all about bold flavours, spice, and comfort — and that doesn’t have to come with alcohol. In fact, some of the best warming drinks in the world are built on the same principles as Hearts Sapiir: layered spices, a smooth mouthfeel, and real depth of flavour.
Whether you’re skipping the booze for the night, the season, or for good, non-alcoholic winter cocktails are a growing category — and one we take seriously. Our Hearts blend is distilled, not flavoured, giving it the same structure and finish as a traditional spirit. That means it blends beautifully into hot drinks, not just cold ones.

The Spiced Sapiir Hot Chocolate is available exclusively this winter at Aces Bar, and we’re confident it’s the drink you didn’t know you were missing. Whether you’re out for a quiet night or need a post-dinner warmer, this is a new classic in the making.
