What we're sipping: Mocktails that hit the spot this Dry July

• The company is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and cans a line of alcohol-free mocktails as well THC and CBD-infused drinks.

The drinks: Three flavors were in the variety pack: elderberry G&T, inspired by a gin and tonic; rosemary grapefruit paloma, inspired by a tequila paloma; and mint mojito with lime, inspired by a rum mojito.

• All are sparkling and contain a little sugar and sweeteners. Calorie counts are between 60 and 70 each.

The verdict: All three flavors were delightful. They're a tad sweet, but much less than a regular cola and it added a little extra flavor over my usual afternoon go-to San Pelligrino.

• I expected the grapefruit to be bitter. It was not. The elderberry, though, hinted at bitterness, but it wasn't altogether bad.
• Mint in the mojito was just enough to know it was there.

• Did they take the place of an alcoholic cocktail? Hard to say, but I felt satisfied.

What she said: My wife tried a sip of the elderberry. "You know what would make that better? Gin and tonic."

The bottom line: They were refreshing in this summer heat, but at roughly $14 for six, these will likely be options for teetotalers at parties and not as a casual sipper.

Check 'em out: They're distributed for in-store purchase at Walmart in eight states, including Arkansas, and many liquor stores.
