consumableJoyAdventures in N/A Drinking Ep 006: Fever-Tree Mojito Mixer. This is super useful for an easy refreshing summer beverage (tbh it wouldn’t be that hard to make it from scratch). I like to pour it into a pitcher with some ice and sparkling water or club soda, and then top it with additional mint and some lime slices. You can serve it into individual tall glasses (more mint or lime as desired). Received praise at our last patio party. Add rum as desired.
Sparkling Water: Spindrift remains my other favorite. It’s got juice for real flavor. It gives me the satisfaction of a can of soda for a fraction of the calories and with much better hydration. They recently introduced “soda” too with “more flavor” which I think means more juice/pulp - it’s ok, still prefer the water. Really enjoying their mocktail flavors like “nojito“ and “cosnopolitan“ right now. #EANABS #nonalcoholic #OffAmazon #NotPrimeDay #Shopify
Sparkling Water: I keep going on and on about Sanzo Asian Sparkling Water but I am serious that it is currently a favorite. And how thrilled was I to find it in local grocery stores. Calamansi, Lychee, Mango, Yuzu, and Pomelo. The Calamansi and Yuzu claim to be zero calorie. And the flavors are good. Not weird and chemically like LaCroix (which also has its place tbh). #nonalcoholic #EANABS

Sanzo: Sparkling Water | Asian-Inspired Flavors
The 1st Asian-inspired sparkling water, Sanzo uses real fruit + no added sugars to deliver refreshing taste. Whether these flavors are a taste of home or a source of discovery, we're excited to bring you authentic flavors in the most delicious way we know how.
Our contribution to today’s family BBQ: booze (corona + limes and beer salt) and a wide array of non-alcoholic options because most people don’t drink but that they will still fail to appreciate: (sanzo in 4 different Asian flavors; Lapo N/A Negronis; club soda) #eanabs #mocktails #booze #beer
Adventures in N/A Drinking Ep 005: Lapo’s N/A Negroni. Drinking a tall one over ice on the patio. This is the closest NA drink I’ve tried to hitting the satisfying notes of a Negroni, through the bitterness close to a Campari and the slight fizziness of light carbonation providing complexity most NA cocktails lack that teases the tongue like alcohol. Would drink again. Will include in a future side by side with other NA Negronis and a real Negroni.
Adventures in N/A Drinking Ep 004: Sanzo. Excited to find Sanzo in the local market - sparkling water made with real fruit juice with Asian flavors like Yuzu and Calamansi. Also comes in lychee (yum), pomelo, and mango. It’s “sparkling water” but it tastes more like a Spindrift than a La Croix - so more like a fruit soda, but without the calories. No added sweeteners. Great as is, or with vodka/tequila if non-alcoholic is not your jam. #mocktails #cocktails #EANABs #nonalcoholic #sparklingWater
Adventures in N/A Drinking Ep 003: EANABs. I hate the term “mocktails” - I get that “mock” is meant for “imitation” but I feel like the term implies an inferiority and the world, at least historically, has kind of, well, mocked them. When I was in college, there was an expectation that every party would serve - along side the boozy options - Equally Attractive Non-Alcoholic Beverages, or EANABs. I love that. #mocktails #cocktails #EANABs #nonalcoholic… (1/2)
Adventures in N/A Drinking Ep 002: Free Spirits non-alcoholic margarita - a refreshing beverage with a little sparkle, and, weirdly, something that tastes like a hint of jalapeño to me (despite that not being listed as one of the flavors). I feel a little heat on my lips too. With a little salt on the rim this would hit that sort of “spicy margarita” spot. Would drink again. #mocktails #cocktails #EANABs #nonalcoholic
Adventures in Non-Alcoholic Drinking Ep. 001 (I might start a regular thing, we’ll see) - today, Ritual N/A gin with Fever Tree Cucumber (cucumber with quinine) in a 1:2 ratio stirred and served over ice. Not bad! Crisp, clean, and the quinine makes it taste more like a “real” cocktail. I feel like I will end up with a series like “Ritual N/A gin with…”. This was a good one to start with. #mocktails #cocktails #EANABs #nonalcoholic
