Sense - Alcohol-Free Delights for the Sober Curious

Gràcia has a fun new shop called Sense that is stocked with delicious alcohol-free beverages. They offer a wide variety of interesting drinks, not only featuring alcohol-free versions of familiar favorites but also unique beverages crafted specifically to be sans alcohol.

Sense boasts an extensive selection of wines, including local options like cava and other sparkling wines. I sampled several and was surprised at how convincingly they replicated the taste of alcoholic counterparts. One standout was the sparkling rosé from ISH—its beautiful bottle matched the luxurious flavor perfectly. Sense collaborates closely with the award-winning ISH brand, known for its expansive collection of alcohol-free drinks and mixers. In addition to the sparkling wines, they showcase a delightful Rosé cava from Freixenet, that most of us are familiar with.

The shelves are stocked with various alcohol-free beers from both local and renowned craft breweries. They also offer intriguing non-alcoholic liquors such as gin, tequila, rum, and whiskey. ISH even offers cocktails in a can, including spritz, mojito, lime daiquiri (yum!), and gin tonic. To complement these, there's a range of mixers for crafting your own mocktails.

The sparkling teas caught my attention—an enticing option with a flavor profile distinct from kombucha, as explained by the knowledgeable team. The staff at Sense are exceptionally friendly and helpful, possessing extensive knowledge in the realms of wine, drinks, and mixology. Visitors can enjoy a seat and engage in conversations with the team while sampling different available drinks. The shop plans to organize tasting events and more. For those at a distance, their online shop is accessible [here].
