Maximize Your Sip: ALKAA’s Handy Usage Guide

Inquiring minds want to know: How Much Alcohol Can Each ALKAA Sachet Handle?

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a cocktail connoisseur, or someone who just wants to enjoy a beer without the regret, these sachets are your new best friend.

Here’s the lowdown on how to use them and our favorite pairings for each sachet type (yes, we play favorites). Spoiler: You can technically mix and match, but we’ve nailed the perfect pairings for peak enjoyment. We've even included a chart! Who doesn't love to see things all charted and graphed? Not us! Let's dig in...

But first, 

In case you missed it:

EVERY SINGLE SACHET WE MAKE CAN BE USED TWICE.

(The exception is the Skinny sachet once you drop it inside a bottle or beer because it's like Jack Handey says, "If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because man, they're gone.")

Step-by-Step Usage Guidelines

1. Pick Your Sachet: Each sachet type brings its own vibe, but the basics are simple. Choose one that fits your drink of choice (more on that below).

Pro Tip: Each sachet can treat your drink twice, so don’t toss it after round one.

2. Timing is Everything:

• First Use:

  Give it a quick 5-minute dip, keep the sachet moving.

• Second Use:

  A 10-minute soak for round two does the trick, as long as that sachet is moving. Are you seeing a theme here? 

3. Reuse or Start Fresh: Stick with the same type of alcohol for the second use. Switching drinks? That’s a job for a new sachet.

4. Drink and Enjoy: Savor your perfectly treated beverage, free from a significant portion of the toxins that turn a good time into a bad hangover.

This chart is assuming a single use for the sake of simplicity.

If you are using your sachet twice, you get double the fun! No need to cut-back on the amount of alcohol you are treating on the second use. Unless you want to, of course. (For example, The Dram sachet will treat a 2 oz. pour of spirits twice for a total of 4 oz.)

 

Meet the Sachets: Because You Deserve Options

Here’s where things get fun. While ALKAA sachets are versatile enough to handle almost any drink, we’ve curated some pairings that just make sense. Think of it like wine and cheese, but for your cocktails.

1. Tagged Sachets: The Wine Whisperer

Tagged sachets are our top pick for wine. They’re practically made for a cozy glass of red, a chilled white, or even something sparkling and celebratory.

Why It’s a Match: Wine comes with its own set of challenges (hello, sulfites and histamines). Tagged sachets tame the toxins while keeping the flavor exactly how you like it.Best Pairing: 6 oz of wine—whether it’s a bold Cabernet or a bubbly Prosecco.

2. Regular Sachets: The Cocktail Chameleon

Regular sachets are the MVP for mixed drinks. From margaritas to whiskey sours, they’re ready to tackle the most vibrant (and complex) concoctions.

Why It’s a Match: Cocktails are layered with flavors and ingredients, but Regular sachets work behind the scenes to smooth things out.

Best Pairing: 4 oz of spirits or a single cocktail serving.

3. Skinny Sachets: Tall, Slim, and Effective

Skinny sachets shine in drinks that come in narrow spaces—think beer bottles, cans, or those chic highball glasses. Perfect for casual sips or sophisticated spritzes.

Why It’s a Match: Compact and efficient, these sachets fit right in and get the job done.

Best Pairing: 12 oz of beer (can, bottle, or glass) or tall cocktails like a Tom Collins.

4. Dram Sachets: Small but Mighty

Dram sachets are the little powerhouses of the group, made for shots, neat pours, or tiny but mighty cocktails like a gimlet or negroni.

Why It’s a Match: When you’re working with smaller quantities, precision is key. Dram sachets deliver.

Best Pairing: 2 oz of spirits or petite cocktails.

• Stick to the Rules: One sip before treating may seem like not cheating, but it can ruin the whole process. We must insist on this for best results.
• Timing Matters: Don’t skimp on the steeping time—your drink deserves it.
• Keep it moving: The sachet acts as a filter. If you never stir it, it can't meet the bad guys in your drink and take them down.
• Don't Squeeze: Handle the sachets with care when removing and never squeeze out those last drops of alcohol no matter how tempting.
• Be Prepared: Pop a few sachets in your bag for parties or nights out. Our tins are sleek and totally travel-friendly.
