Mocktail Mood: My Favorite Alcohol-Free Way to Unwind

Lately, I’ve been looking for ways to unwind during the week without derailing my productivity—and I may have found the perfect solution. Enter: Recess Zero Proof Craft Mocktails.

I ordered their Happy Hour Sampler (because variety is the spice of life), and I have to say, I’m obsessed. These sparkling, alcohol-free drinks are infused with adaptogens and guayusa, which makes them feel a little more special than your typical flavored seltzer.

My personal favorites?

• Grapefruit Paloma – crisp, citrusy, and seriously refreshing

• Classic Cosmo – pretty in pink and packed with that nostalgic cocktail vibe

What I love most is that they’re completely alcohol-free (0% ABV), so I still get to enjoy a happy hour moment—minus the hangover. Whether I’m winding down after a long day or catching up with a friend, they’ve become my go-to.

Extra tip: Want to take them up a notch? Add a slice of fresh grapefruit to the Paloma or a wedge of lime to the Cosmo. Trust me—it makes them extra yummy.

If you’re looking to cut back on alcohol but still want something fun and flavorful, I highly recommend giving these a try. Your body (and your brain) will thank you.

Cheers to feeling good and staying sharp!
