SODA ALTERNATIVES

poppi: Variety Pack

Combining beloved ingredients from fruit juice to apple cider vinegar, poppi’s mouthwatering sodas are poppi-lar among celebrities, and for good reason ($ range). All flavours from Cherry Limeade to Strawberry Lemonade have only 5 grams of sugar and 25 calories. Try the variety pack and keep an eye out with more flavours launching in the coming months!

Olipop: Classic Soda Pack

The Olipop Classic Soda Pack was made to sip down memory lane with favorite throwbacks flavours – Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, Doctor Goodwin and Cream Soda ($ range). High in fibre and prebiotics, it’s a delightful way to tap into one’s inner child.

Barbet: Deep Dive

The diva of dry January, Barbet Deep Dive brings full flavour to sparkling beverages ($38.40/12 pack). A peppy hint of mint meets Juicy White Peach and Bright Yuzu in this elevated water flavour, inspiring bold but easy drinking.

ALCOHOL ALTERNATIVES

TÖST: Rosé

TÖST Rosé offers an alcohol-free reason to celebrate with white tea, Ginger and Elderberry ($92 / 12 bottles). Dry, sparkling and all-natural, it makes even Monday night an innocent occasion.

Edna’s Cocktails: Mezcalita

Edna’s award-winning non-alcoholic cocktails are also gluten-free, vegan, made with organic cane sugar and only 100 calories ($17 / 4 pack). Our standout this month is the Mezcalita, Edna’s smoky, fruity and slightly spicy take on the Mezcal Margarita.

aēlo: Aperitivo Spritz

Featuring notes of fresh Seville oranges, grapefruit, rhubarb, and handcrafted aromatic bitters made with real spices and sparkling prosecco, it’s hard to believe the Aperitivo Spritz is non-alcoholic. Promising zero moments will be wasted, it’s not hard to actualize a resolution with a mocktail from aēlo ($ range).

HOP WTR: Passion Fruit

The HOPWTR Passion Fruit delivers a tropical, tangy flavor with a strong hint of hops, with no calories, sugar or alcohol (($37 / 12 pack). Enjoy ingredients like Citra, Amarillo, Mosaic and Azacca hops in this weekday-friendly beer.

Partake: Peach Gose

A little tart, a little salty, and a whole lot of refreshing. That’s the Partake Peach Gose ($30 / 12-pack). A twist on a sour beer that knows how to party, standout ingredients include sea salt, coriander and of course, no alcohol.

DETOXING ALTERNATIVES

Daydream: Variety Pack

Daydream’s unique blend of ingredients are made to provide a sense of calm. Each flavour in the variety pack, from Peach Ginger to Blackberry Chai, is infused with stress-reducing schisandra, memory-enhancing ginseng and balancing hemp extracts ($40/6 pack).

For a beverage that knows how to cleanse this January, it’s got to be with Greenhouse ($65/1 Day). Offering an easy going detox for one, two or three days, it’s perfect for first timers, with two organic shakes to keep cleaners grounded.
