This month’s adult non-alc offerings include a pocket-friendly THC aperitif, a new oaky spirit replacement from Little Saints, and a citrusy spritz from Ghia.
Q Mixers
Q Mixers is leaning into holiday cheer with the Q Mixers Cranberry Pomegranate Spritz, combining tart cranberry and pomegranate in 7.5 oz cans. Made for cocktailing or mocktailing, this limited drop is available at Kroger, Albertsons, Total Wine & More, and Amazon for $4.99 to $5.99 per 4-pack.
Artet
Cannabis aperitif brand Artet just shrunk its flagship down into Single Serve Aperitifs – pocket-friendly 2 oz mini bottles packing 5mg of THC each. Botanical and bittersweet thanks to cardamom, ginger, chamomile, and juniper, the format was made for slipping into your bag for a holiday party or gifting to your canna-curious uncle. Available in 3-, 6-, or 12-packs ($21–$84) at artet.com.
Little Saints
Little Saints’ new St. Oak channels the spice of rye and sweetness of bourbon, without the proof. Built from oak, vanilla, caramel and cardamom extracts, the liquid is fortified with adaptogens such as lion’s mane, reishi and damiana mushrooms. Drops November 4 at $49.99 per bottle at littlesaints.com.
Amaretto ADRIATICO Zero
Italy’s almond-forward Amaretto ADRIATICO has gone mindful with ADRIATICO Zero – a non-alcoholic amaretto made with roasted almonds from Puglia and dashed with a pinch of salt. Priced at $32, the amaretto will debut in New York City this month through Empire Merchants’ new non-alcoholic division. For more information visit amarettoadriatico.com/en-us.
Ghia
NA aperitif darling Ghia has added its most approachable sip yet: Blood Orange Le Spritz. The fifth addition to the brand’s cult-favorite Le Spritz line blends its bitter aperitif base with juicy blood orange and a whiff of Mediterranean marjoram for a dry, citrusy and just sweet enough NA spritz. Priced at $60 per 12-pack at drinkghia.com.
Highpour
A founder of Waterloo Gin wants to spike your cocktail in a new way with Highpour. Instead of low-dose cans, the brand launched with a 750ml THC aperitif (5mg THC per 1.5 oz pour), made with an agave base, bright citrus and herbal finish. It’s aimed at bars as much as at-home mixers, with distribution starting in Texas. Priced at $39.99. For more information please visit highpour.com.
Vena
Wellness beverage brand Vena has restocked its Happy Tonix THC Seltzers (2mg THC + 2mg CBD ) in Black Cherry, Grapefruit, Guava Passionfruit and Skinny Mocktails in Mojito, Margarita, and Citrus Spritz. Available now at venacbd.com.
Teaspoon
From Dynasty Spirits comes Teaspoon, a line of non-alcoholic beverages in four expressions: Whiskey, Tequila, Gin and Italian Spritz. Priced at $32.99 per 700ml bottle, Teaspoon will be available this month at participating retailers in Texas with additional markets to come.
