Fruit-Forward Tablets
It’s as easy as plink and drink! Plink offers small tablets that are packed with yummy fruit flavors and work as soon as you drop ’em into your liquid of choice, whether that’s vodka or lemonade. They currently offer three options: watermelon, pineapple grapefruit and pomegranate berry. They’re perfect for happy hour or mocktail hour, and they’re low in sugar, calories and packaging. Be sure to choose the right mixologist-approved cocktail glass, too.
Prosecco Rose Cocktail Bombs
Calling all bridal shower and bachelorette party planners! Pretty pink Prosecco rose cocktail bombs are just the thing to make a fun event even more special. These cocktail bombs are almost too gorgeous to drink. They’re made with organic Bulgarian rosebuds, rose water and elderflower, then pressed with edible gold leaf and vegan gold dust. Drop them into one of the best Champagnes under $20 and cheers!
Cocktail Mixer Packets
The secret to summer in a glass? A cocktail in a packet. This Craftmix variety pack transforms plain liquor and water into a sweet strawberry mule, a tropical mango margarita or a passion fruit Paloma, among other flavors. We love that Craftmix’s concoctions are lower in sugar than typical cocktail mixes, and the packets are easy to bring on the road for summer travel. If you’re more into vino, an expert recommends the best single serve canned wines.

They’re also a fun gift for the bartender in your life who’s obsessed with the latest drink innovations.
