September 2021 - Harvest Moon

As the weather turns cooler, we're gravitating towards autumnal flavors. "Harvest Moon" uses blackberry black tea as a foundation, combined with rich fig syrup, cardamom bitters, and ginger & turmeric soda. This drink is the perfect way to welcome fall.

Apple of my Chai
Apple of my Chai

Fall is officially here, and we're embracing all things autumnal. Warming chai spices blend perfectly with spiced apple syrup and the brightness of ginger shrub - shake it all up with a creamy egg white for a spicy and sweet elegant fall drink.

August 2021 - The Secret Garden
August 2021 - The Secret Garden

Herbaceous and citrusy, The Secret Garden can be enjoyed two ways - with the light taste of white peaches using the Droplet Pretty Balanced, or the refreshing crisp dryness of the Dry Botanical Bubbly Cucumber. Use whatever fresh citrus juice you have on hand. A sprig of fresh rosemary is encouraged!

Smoky Rose - February 2021 Box
Smoky Rose - February 2021 Box

One of the most exciting things about the quickly growing alcohol-free beverage space is the rise in zero-proof spirits, such as Lyre’s extensive offerings. Their American Malt has a spicy and mellow complexity which pairs beautifully with Portland Syrups’ sweet and floral Rose Cordial and smoky Lapsang Souchong tea. If you like a bit of fizz, you can top your drink off to taste with Aura Bora’s Cactus Rose sparkling water or just enjoy it on its own!

#CranberryDreams - November 2020 Box
#CranberryDreams - November 2020 Box

Inspired by the epic good vibes exuded by @420doggface208 in his viral TikTok video, this drink features Pratt Standard cranberry orange syrup as well as other autumnal flavors. The enclosed recipe card teaches you how to make an elegant and smooth eg--white based cocktail, or you can use the enclosed FeverTree club soda to make it a sparkling drink.

Stick a straw in and (stainless) steel yourself for whatever the rest of this crazy year might bring!
