Dry July Mocktails Recipes

Dry July is here, and we’re making it anything but boring.
Whether you’re going alcohol-free for the month or just want to mix things up, we’ve crafted a lineup of non-alcoholic cocktails that deliver serious flavour without compromise.

We believe a great cocktail isn’t defined by alcohol, it’s built on bold, layered flavour. Our naturally infused syrups and shrubs make it easy to shake up impressive, sophisticated mocktails at home (no booze required). From zesty and refreshing to spiced and cozy, there’s something here for every kind of sipper.
