THIS MONTH'S ZERO-PROOF COCKTAIL KIT
The heatwave
We adore a good slow-sipper, but when it comes to quenching your thirst on scorching summer days, nothing beats the classic shandy. Typically crafted with equal parts beer and lemonade, we've put a zesty twist on ours by swapping out lemonade for a ginger lime shrub, adding some bright complexity to this favorite summer drink.
This month's jam
We made a special playlist just for you! Listen to it while you're enjoying your drink of the month or whenever the vibe is right.
let's get organized before
you start pulling out the ice!
With three unique recipes this month, here's what you'll need (in addition to what's in your box) for each drink. Please note, these are optional! Don't have a shaker? Mix it up in a drinking glass with a spoon! Don't have a jigger? Use a shot glass or tablespoon measure. No fresh juice? These are just suggestions on how to get the most variation out of your box, but you can get creative on your own and experiment!
