Amass is a Los Angeles botanical beverage company co-founded by master distiller Morgan McLachlan, known for its gin and vodka and for a portfolio of botanic self-care and non-alcoholic products. The brand entered the zero-proof category in January 2021 with Riverine, its distilled non-alcoholic spirit.

Riverine is built from a regional blend of 14 organic botanicals — including juniper, sumac, sorrel, lemon peel, apple, coriander, mint, parsley, rosemary and thyme — meant to evoke the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest, where McLachlan grew up. Rather than relying on alcohol, each botanical is individually distilled using a proprietary hydrosteam process in which water vapor extracts the essential oils, yielding a crisp, coniferous flavor profile. It is distilled and bottled in British Columbia, Canada.

The spirit is alcohol-free (0.0% ABV) and contains zero calories per 1.5 fl oz serving. Sold in 750ml bottles, Riverine is positioned for sipping over ice with tonic or as the base of non-alcoholic cocktails, presented as a spirit in its own right rather than a gin substitute.

Amass lineup

  • Riverine
A light, dry and botanical non-alcoholic spirit, the initial flavor is of evergreen, but this soon fades into poultry cooking herbs and faint citrus.

The Zero Co.

Poncey-Highland

Bottle Shop
NA Program Strength: 5 of 5?·14 NA brands

The Zero Co. is Atlanta's first dedicated non-alcoholic bottle shop, opened in December 2022 in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood by Cory and Malory Atkinson, the husband-and-wife team behind nearby Elemental Spirits Co. The shop grew out of the rapidly growing zero-proof section at Elemental and stocks more than 500 non-alcoholic products — spirit alternatives, de-alcoholized wines, NA beers, and ready-to-drink cans — alongside locally made shrubs, vinegars, bitters, and elixirs. A bar-cart sample station lets customers taste before buying, and the space hosts tastings and events. Carried brands include Ghia, Seedlip, Lyre's, Wilderton, Ritual Zero Proof, De Soi, Three Spirit, Free Spirits, Athletic Brewing, and more. As co-owner Malory Atkinson put it, the goal was a "warm and welcoming" space for all kinds of drinkers and non-drinkers.
