Favorite Non-Alcoholic Summer Drinks
Summertime runs from around June 20th – September 22nd. But, for some of us, as soon as the kids are out of school that’s our official start of summer, with summer ending as soon as the kids go back to school. Many times, Labor Day becomes the unofficial end of summertime. That’s when some of us are ready for pumpkin spiced everything and Halloween decorations, but some of us still savor in the Indian Summers with the warm days and cool nights. For me, I want the best of both worlds - the summer sun and the fall time decorations and coziness.
With the warm days, we look forward to warm days on the beach or in the pool. With the season still being summer, I’m going to highlight some of our non-alcoholic summer favorites. No matter when you celebrate summer, or even want to feel like it’s summer time, there’s a mocktail and nonalcoholic drink for every mood! For the mood of summer and non-alcoholic beverages we think of things like vacation, sun and fun, bbq and food with friends, beach beverages,
Here’s our list of our favorite non-alcoholic summer drinks.
Limoncello, non-alcoholic liqueur
The sweet lemon flavor reminds me of summer days sipping lemonade. The sweet and citrus flavors come through with our non-alcoholic Limoncello. And, for those of us in vacation mode, a shot of cold nonalcoholic Limoncello might even have us daydreaming and escaping to Italy, the country who made Limoncello famous.
Caribbean Coconut Rum, zero proof rum spirit
Not only is this nonalcoholic rum packed with coconut flavor, but it’s also our zero proof rum. Crafted and created by the founder’s daughter, who was a Malibu rum fan, she still wanted to enjoy the tropical flavors of her favorite poolside drinks. The zero proof coconut rum screams summertime! Coconut is a classic summer flavor and a non-alcoholic summer favorite to mix with cola or to use as a substitute in your favorite tropical cocktail like a zero proof Pina Colada or Lava Flow.
Mojito Mule Mocktail, non-alcoholic mocktail
A combination of a mojito and Moscow Mule, this mocktail takes the spicy ginger flavor, hints of mint and pineapple juice and combines them into a delicious ready to drink nonalcoholic mocktail. Our Mojito Mule is my go to drink when I don’t have all the ingredients for a nonalcoholic cocktail. The flavor profile is delicious and ginger add that sweet heat.
Key Lime Pie Rum, non-alcoholic rum spirit
I hear Jimmy Buffet playing in the background when I think of a key lime pie. This nonalcoholic rum is a dessert in a bottle. The non-alcoholic rum is also a great mixer to use to give your nonalcoholic cocktail a sweet lime flavor, with a splash of rum.
Non-Alcoholic Cadillac Margarita
A favorite of our customers for the last 4 years, the Cadillac Margarita does not disappoint. This Mocktail is one of of top 5 selling Mocktail beverages. This Margarita Mocktail has the heat, the sweet and the citrus.
White Label Single Malt Whiskey, non-alcoholic whiskey spirit
This one is on the list because of the honey notes. It’s one of those beverages with the warm and sweet notes that has you ready for the coziness of Fall time, but still has you thinking of summer time with the cool taste of this non-alcoholic beverage served over ice. It also mixes well with iced tea - a Sweet Tea Whiskey. The White Label Single Malt Whiskey is for sure a non-Alcoholic summer favorite drinks.
Kentucky Bourbon - A bourbon and ice tea is a flavor that reminds me of sipping sweet tea one hot and humid summer in Southern Georgia. Now, those same flavors can take me back to sitting on the porch with some sweet tea. Our non-alcoholic Kentucky Bourbon has the right combination of extracts of bourbon, oak, almond and heat.
