Blends for cocktails and mocktails have never been more creative than they are now, and two brands in particular stand out when it comes to mixology inspiration: Modica and Curious Elixirs (“Shaken Not Slurred”).
Modica – So Good That You’ll Lick Your Glass
Modica‘s creative and decidedly flavorfulblends are so delicious and distinctive that you’ll find yourself using them for a multitude of different drinks, encompassing cocktails, blended with seltzer water, added to juices on ice, added to smoothies, added to ice cream… let your imagination dictate. For example, I tried the Turmeric Ginger Mule with San Pellegrino seltzer water for summer hydration and a turmeric-ginger boost, and can highly recommend it for parties, picnics, and for sipping at home while binge-watching a favorite series.
Here are Modica’s artful flavors:
Blueberry Lavender Lemon Drop
Turmeric Ginger Mule
Tart Cherry Old Fashioned
Cacao Espresso Martini
Pertinent details: each bottle is 16oz, and makes 10 cocktails.
Try these healthy and unique mixes for a flavor bolster without the added sugar and calories of other mixers. These are superfood mixes for healthy humans.

Curious Elixirs are all booze-free craft cocktails, infused with herbs, spices, adaptogens, and plants to help you unwind. They are created with the best possible ingredients, and were developed specifically to taste curiously fantastic and to be good for your body and soul. The Curious Elixirs mission is to serve up the best possible non-alcoholic cocktails.
People from all walks of life joined their community of elixir-drinkers: some are sober, some simply imbibe less alcohol, and some love the taste of their elixirs with or without added alcohol. Curious Elixirs is for everyone who drinks liquids, cares about their health, and has taste buds. Their flavors are vibrant and unique, bold and based in nature. Each flavor is a collaboration between their team of world-class bartenders, herbalists, and food scientists, and they proudly use only organic juices, herbs, spices, roots, barks, and botanicals to make your mouth dance. Each Curious Elixir also enhances the body through the wonderfully mysterious properties of plants — from an ancient botanical that increases serotonin and dopamine precursors, to another that increases circulation and was used in Mayan culture as an aphrodisiac.
