Raising the Bar is a monthly subscription box for anyone who is interested in alcohol-free beverages, for whatever reason. Newly sober? Cutting back? Pregnant? Taking a break? Whatever your reason for wanting to explore zero-proof cocktails, we are here to help you discover delicious and innovative alcohol-free options.

Driven by the rise of innovative alcohol-free brands and the ever-growing #sobercurious movement, our Founder and CEO, Abbie Romanul, launched Raising the Bar to make zero-proof cocktails more approachable and fun for everyone. Now, we’re thrilled to showcase the standout products that have helped us craft the ultimate alcohol-free home bar experience!

Every month, usually around the 15th, we deliver a curated box packed with everything you need to craft delicious, seasonal, alcohol-free cocktails right from home! Inside, you’ll find two unique recipe options (that make up to 10 drinks), a standout ready-to-drink feature, and even a playlist to set the perfect vibe. Plus, on our Box Recipes page, we share creative ways to use the ingredients for even more beverage options!

Occasionally, as stock levels allow, new members may receive a recent box from a previous month as their first shipment so they can get mixing their first batch of cocktails right away! For more information on shipping and processing, see our Shipping Policies.

Each box serves up to 10 refreshing drinks, but the fun doesn’t stop there! After you’ve tried all the recipes on our Box Recipes page, you’ll still have leftover ingredients to experiment with, giving you the freedom to unleash your creativity and craft your own zero-proof masterpieces!

Please reach out to info@weareraisingthebar.com for any questions, comments, or concerns. It may take one business day for our team to get back to you but rest assured we’ll be in touch soon!

We offer flexible subscription options, including a month-to-month plan that can be canceled before the next renewal date. Multi-month subscriptions can be canceled at any time, please note that cancelation only affects your next cancelation and all boxes on your account will still ship. For one-time gift subscriptions that don’t auto-renew, select “this is a gift” at checkout. If a subscription isn’t your style or you’re looking for a one-time box, we offer a few one-time boxes in our one-time box shop.

This month, we’re mixing up something blossoming with flavor, featuring Cut Above Non-Alcoholic Gin, Fruitbelt Apple Marigold Tonic, Crescent Simples Raspberry Rose, and hibiscus tea—a perfect harmony of bright botanicals, crisp fruit, and lush florals. Whether you’re belting out ballads or just vibing with a well-crafted drink, this mix will have you singing its praises. Check it out here.

If this box isn’t quite your vibe, no worries! You can easily skip, pause, or swap it for a different one by emailing info@weareraisingthebar.com. We’re here to help you get the most out of your subscription!

We don’t offer customization for individual boxes, as each box is carefully curated to create a cohesive experience. Think of us more like a curated subscription rather than a bottle shop. We select drinks that work harmoniously together to offer something fresh, exciting, and balanced in every box.

Each month we create several unique recipes using the ingredients provided in the box. To access all the recipes, simply scan the QR code on the recipe card enclosed in the box or visit our Box Recipes page.

Although the majority of ingredients included in a Raising the Bar box are entirely devoid of alcohol, specific items such as bitters, kombucha, or dealcoholized beverages may contain minimal alcohol traces – 0.5% or less. Choosing to consume products that contain alcohol is a very personal choice. Notably, the items featured in our standard Raising the Bar subscription maintain an alcohol content equivalent to, or lower than, that found in ripe fruit, soy sauce, bananas, vinegar, yeast-leavened bread, yogurt with live cultures, mustard, Pepsi, and Coke.

The majority of ingredients found in a Raising the Bar box are both gluten-free and vegan. While we have previously featured items like honey or wheat-based beer, we always offer alternative suggestions for those who prefer not to use such ingredients. While many of our ingredients are naturally sweet, please note that our boxes are not sugar-free.  All Raising the Bar boxes are simply suggestions into what is possible in the realm of zero-proof mixology. We urge our members to experiment with the recipes and ingredients within the box according to their taste or nutritional preferences to find their next favorite proof cocktail!

When it comes to pregnancy and nursing considerations, we prioritize the use of ingredients that are safe for consumption during these periods. However, on occasion, we might include ingredients in that are typically recommended to be avoided during pregnancy when used in medicinal quantities. We strongly advise carefully reviewing all the ingredients in your box and consulting your healthcare provider before consuming any ingredients you’re unsure about.
