Opius Nigredo is an award-winning alcohol-free elixir from Belgium, with a recipe drawn from secret alchemical manuscripts kept in old archives. It is made in multifunctional pot stills, the same versatile vessels used to distil spirits. Sugar beet molasses, roast coffee and French oak shape the drink. The flavour is dark, with rich toffee and French oak, then roast coffee and a touch of pepper.
