One of the biggest myths about zero-proof mixology is that it’s boring, or just trying to imitate traditional cocktails without the same depth or personality. If you know us, you already know that’s not the case. Our approach to non-alcoholic drinks is all about bold flavour, vibrant ingredients, and creative combinations that feel exciting in their own right.

This month’s Pop Off box is your invitation to explore zero-proof cocktails through color, flavour, and texture. We’re leaning into unexpected pairings and bright, expressive profiles that come together in a way that feels playful, layered, and a little surprising. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to build non-alcoholic cocktails that stand on their own and earn a spot in your regular rotation this spring and summer.

Let’s jump into the amazing ingredients that make up our Pop Off box. 

Cut Above Zero-Proof Mezcal

This is the kind of non-alcoholic spirit that makes people stop mid-sip and ask what they’re drinking. Cut Above brings real mezcal-style complexity with smoky notes, bright citrus, and a subtle floral warmth that lingers.

It’s not distilled like traditional spirits. Instead, it’s crafted through a proprietary process that creates a layered, full-bodied zero-proof alternative. A little bit about Cut Above? They are family-owned, woman- and minority-owned, and made in the USA. And in our opinion? A standout addition to any bar cart for building elevated zero-proof cocktails at home.

High Ground Strawberry Peach Elixir

Fruity, lightly sparkling, and easy to enjoy, this is a non-alcoholic drink that blends flavor with function. Strawberry and peach come together in a bright, familiar way, while each can includes five adaptogenic mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail.

These functional ingredients are known to support mood, energy, immunity, and gut health. And no, it doesn’t taste like mushrooms. The flavor stays fresh and approachable, making it an easy addition to your daily routine.

We’re especially excited to feature High Ground in an RTB box for the first time. Founded by Jessie, whose background and years in health and wellness shaped a more thoughtful approach to functional drinks, High Ground is all about feeling good from the inside out. P.S.

wildwonder Pink Pomelo Limeade

If you’re looking for a refreshing sparkling drink made with thoughtful, better-for-you ingredients, this one delivers. Bright pomelo and lime lead the flavor, with a light floral finish that keeps it balanced and easy to sip.

wildwonder is inspired by traditional herbal tonics and combines prebiotics, probiotics, and botanicals like chrysanthemum and elderberry to support gut health and overall wellness. It’s organic, vegan, and sweetened with monk fruit, so it feels like a treat while fitting into a more mindful routine.

Big Heart Tea Ceremonial Matcha Sticks

Smooth, balanced, and easy to incorporate into your day, this ceremonial-grade matcha brings a simple ritual to your routine. It’s grown in Japan by the Mukoujima family, who have been cultivating tea for three generations since 1982.

The leaves are shade-grown and harvested in the spring to develop a rich, layered flavor. Each stick is single-serve, making it easy to prepare at home or on the go. It’s also certified organic.

Please note: Matcha naturally contains caffeine and provides a more steady, gentle energy boost compared to coffee.

You see?!

With passionate makers like these behind every product, and the creativity that drives each blend, it’s hard to see how anyone could call zero-proof boring.

And to bring it all together, we’re completing the box with a few thoughtful extras. Pop rocks for a playful rim, a stainless steel strainer to elevate your mixing and home bar, peach juice and fresh lime to round out your drinks, and a curated playlist to set the perfect tone for your happy hour.

And one more thing! 

However you use this kit, whether you’re hosting, winding down, or sharing a drink with friends and family, we hope it brings a fresh perspective to your non-alcoholic cocktail routine and inspires new recipes to keep exploring.
