This month’s adult non-alc offerings include a desert-inspired spritz from Parch, buzzy coffee elixirs from Lapo’s and Wilderton, and two agave spirit replacements that keep the plant in the forefront.
Parch Sedona Spritz
In honor of the brand’s adopted home-state of Arizona, Parch has launched a Southwestern spin on the spritz. The Sedona Spritz blends crisp cucumber juice with whole puréed lemons, aloe, organic Mexican agave, and magnesium-rich Sonoran Desert, with a touch of pine as tribute to the Ponderosa Pines. Exclusively available at Sprouts Farmers Market and Fresh Thyme Market until launching nationwide later this year. For more information, visit drinkparch.com.
Lapo’s Espresso Martini and Melograno Mule
Lapo’s new Espresso Martini has rich coffee, vanilla, cinnamon and 120mg of caffeine to keep the party going sans the vodka.
NA Melograno Mule is a quirky take on the classic mule with a ginger kick and a pomegranate twist. Tart, refreshing, and layered with lemon, hibiscus, cardamom and rosemary.
The cocktails retail $19.99 for a four-pack on drinklapos.com.
SAYSO Dirty Martini
It might not be James Bond-chic, but SAYO’s new dirty martini mix could be dangerously convenient. SAYSO, the cocktail and mocktail mix that comes in tea bag packaging and stick format, has added Dirty Martini Stick Packets, set to release on their DTC site and Amazon storefront at the end of August. Each pouch contains eight individual stick packs and retails for $14.99. Like all SAYSO products, the Dirty Martini can be enjoyed with or without alcohol, offering a mocktail option, too.

NeQuila
Tequila brand Leon Y Sol is keeping the agave and ditching the proof with NeQuila, a tequila that starts with real tequila and is then stripped of its alcohol. The brand launched starting August 4 with a limited number of exclusive pre-orders available at nequila.com.
Wilderton Aperitivo Coffee Amaro
Leave it to the craft ANA distillers at Wilderton Aperitivo Co. to develop the sector’s first Coffee Amaro. The limited-batch non-alcoholic amaro blends cold brew coffee with sage, spearmint, blood orange and cocoa. But there’s one catch – you’ll have to head to Wilderton’s Hood River tasting room to get it. More info on the company’s Instagram.
Almave Humo
Nearly two years after the launch of their non-alc (NA) tequila alternative, Casa Lumbre and Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton are hitting the gas on a new product. Hamilton and Casa Lumbre master distiller Ivan Saldaña announced last month the debut of their third product together, Almave Humo, a NA mezcal alternative. Almave Humo retails for $36.99 per 700mL bottle. To learn more, visit almave.com.
Stursi
More than a mocktail, it’s a whole mood, say the sister duo behind this new canned zero-proof cocktail. The brand arrives in three flavors Revvl (purple papaya and sweet ginger), Rein (lush pineapple and autumn spices), and Debauchery (dewy blood orange and cardamom chili). Available in four-packs ($26) 12-packs ($72), 24-packs ($144) on stursi.com.
