If you’ll be singing “Firework” all night then you might as well be drinking one of Katy Perry’s creations - Golden Hour by De Soi. De Soi is a sophisticated zero-proof, alcohol-free botanical sparkling beverage that uses natural adaptogens instead of alcohol ~ creating a bubbly and delicious spritz, without the hangover. Golden Hour is made with lemon balm and L-theanine - botanicals known to spur creativity - and tastes of warm citrus, lemongrass, and leafy herbs. Pour over ice with a light garnish or drink straight from the can and baby, you’re a firework. (When consumed regularly, functional drinks that include adaptogens help your body better manage stress by protecting against adrenal fatigue.)

This ready-to-drink premium crafted non-alcoholic cocktail is blackberry flavored and contains antioxidants and prebiotic benefits. Inspired by a manhattan - with berry flavor - this unique, very boldly flavored drink is great on the rocks, poured over crushed ice, or mixed with your favorite zero proof spirit (try Crystal zero proof non- alcoholic whiskey alternative).

Be the host with the most. Here are some additional tips for serving non-alcoholic drinks at your 4th of July celebration:
Label your drinks clearly so that guests know what they are grabbing. It’s nice to offer a separate cooler with non-alcoholic cocktails versus those with alcohol, and mark the cooler clearly so when someone grabs a quick drink they won’t be surprised.
Offer a variety of non-alcoholic drinks so that everyone can find something they enjoy. Give them different flavor options as well as varying levels of infusions. For example, some for calm, some for clarity, some for that big big energy.
Make sure your non-alcoholic drinks are just as festive as your alcoholic drinks. Use fun straws, garnishes, and glasses to make them look just as special as anything else they may be celebrating with on the big day.
Serve your non-alcoholic drinks in the same way that you serve your alcoholic drinks. Highball glasses, Solo cups or whatever is on offer - keep it consistent for those who are having the non-alcohol versions. This will help guests feel included and respected no matter their choices.
With a little planning, you can easily create a 4th of July celebration that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their age or drinking preferences. So cheers to a safe and sober 4th of July!
