Aperol Spritz Sangria
Less prep, more pour.
It’s bubbly, citrusy and just bitter enough to keep things interesting—AKA, the kind of drink that disappears fast.
Pineapple Skin Bourbon Smash
Who knew pineapple scraps could taste this good?
This cocktail brings bold, cozy vibes of bourbon and gives it a bright, tropical upgrade with a syrup made from the skins and cores you’d usually toss.
Watermelon Agua Fresca
Blended with fresh mint and a splash of lime, it’s the kind of drink that makes you forget about the heat. No fancy tools, no fuss—just pure, refreshing bliss.
P.S. Add a splash of tequila or vodka for a shakeup.
Juice Cooler
A mix of cranberry, pineapple and orange juices gets a zesty lift from lemon and a fizzy finish with ginger ale. Toss in some maraschino cherries and orange slices, and you’ve got a pitcher that’s as pretty as it is refreshing.
Peach-Lemon Tea
Here’s a pitcher of something you’ll want to keep in the fridge all season long.
It starts with real brewed tea, gets a boost from peach nectar and finishes with a citrusy kick of fresh lemon.
Apple Peel Iced Tea
One pitcher won’t be enough.
The juicy depth of peach meets the brightness of lemon in a balanced blend that’s both classic and unexpected.

Spicy, splashy and ready to serve.
Fresh watermelon juice meets a kick of jalapeno-infused tequila, balanced with zesty lime and a splash of Cointreau.

Fresh cucumber juice meets zesty lemon and a hint of mint, all balanced with a touch of homemade simple syrup.
Peach Bellini
Meet your brunch’s new best friend.
A blend of peach juice, soda water and a hint of grenadine creates a refreshing mocktail that’s as easy to make as it is to sip.
Grapefruit Faux-Jito
A mocktail so good, you won’t miss the booze.
Combining the tangy sweetness of pink grapefruit soda with the coolness of fresh mint and a touch of agave syrup, it’s a delicious mocktail that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy.
Strawberry Thyme Lemonade
Sweet strawberries and lemon juice are elevated with a homemade thyme-infused simple syrup, creating a drink that’s both familiar and delightfully unexpected.
Chef’s tip: Strain the strawberries if you want it extra smooth.
