Gnista

Founded in Sweden by Erika Eklundh, Gnista was born from a simple but radical idea: alcohol‑free drinks should have the same depth, attitude, and emotional impact as the real thing.
Erika spent years immersed in the non‑alcoholic category and quickly saw a gap. Early “alcohol‑free spirits” were light, botanical, and designed for the health‑focused crowd. Nice, but not enough. The people who truly care about flavour -cocktail lovers, adventurous palates, and bartenders who treat drinks like art – were left wanting more. They didn’t need a substitute. They deserved something with presence.
Gnista spirits are dark, intense, and unapologetically complex. They’re engineered to stand up in cocktails, delivering bite, structure, tannins, smoke, spice, and body – all without alcohol. Instead of removing alcohol from an existing drink, Gnista builds each liquid from the ground up using a blend of modern food‑tech, gastronomy, distillation, brewing, and barrel ageing. Every ingredient is chosen with purpose. Every bottle is designed to create a true cocktail experience, not a compromise.
Handcrafted just outside Malmö in small batches, Gnista is constantly refined, tasted, and tested to honour the craft of great spirits. The result isn’t a “lighter” alternative – it’s next‑generation non‑alcoholic spirits and wine with real character.
Gnista is for the curious, the flavour‑obsessed, the cocktail makers, the hosts, the chefs, and anyone who wants the full experience without the hangover.
Or as Erika puts it: People deserve more than soft, subtle alternatives. They deserve something with bite – something they can take pride in ordering.
