At Death & Co. Denver, every section of the menu starts with a no-ABV and a low-ABV option. Neon Moon is a non-alcoholic recipe, consisting of Seedlip Spice 94, a syrup made of makrut lime leaf, lemongrass and shiso, along with kefir whey and egg white, from the “Fizz” section of the current menu. “It just kind of came out of my obsession of putting dairy and weird things in the drinks,” says Alex Jump, adding, “it’s super fresh, not very heavy, and bright.”
