In 2019, Bethan Higson started Mother Root in her kitchen in London. She came up with the idea while pregnant and craving a grown-up drink without the alcohol content. Mother Root Ginger is made with organic apple cider vinegar, blossom honey, ginger juice and a touch of chilli for warmth. Today it’s the UK’s number one non-alcoholic spirit. The company appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2025, even attracting an offer of investment from Steven Bartlett.
