The Hibiscus Sour is one of our most popular drinks. Technically, this is a mocktail—a non-alcoholic drink made without NA spirits—unlike our zero-proof cocktail recipes featuring NA spirits that are meant to mirror classics like the Margarita or Old Fashioned. But don’t let the word mocktail fool you: this hibiscus mocktail has real structure and bite. Made with tart citrus, hibiscus tea, syrup, and non-alcoholic bitters, it’s refreshing and grown-up—not just another sugary “virgin” drink.
You can use any good hibiscus tea to make this, but we’re especially fond of a custom blend created for us by Lagom Infusions here in Chico: a vibrant hibiscus base lifted with just a hint of mint and lemongrass for herbal depth. The combination of hibiscus, grapefruit, lime, agave nectar, and ATB Spiced Cherry bitters brings bright acidity, gentle bitterness, and tannic grip, creating a non-alcoholic sour that tastes and feels as satisfying as any alcoholic cocktail.

Want something easy?
Not every night requires a complicated cocktail. Our favorite easy drink is bitters & soda—refreshing, balanced, and good for your gut. Just add a few dashes of our non-alcoholic bitters to sparkling water, with lemon or lime if you're feeling fancy.
