Little Saints, Negroni Spritz (Pack of 8) — $50.00
You can’t go wrong with a mocktail, and this one is plant-based. Made with carbonated water, monk fruit, reishi mushroom extract, and CBD extracts, this spritz melds bubbles, a tiny-but-not-too-overbearing-bit of bitterness, and orange for a chill and mellow night.
Ariel, Cabernet Sauvignon (Pack of 6) — $80.00
If wine is more your style, Ariel makes a mean cabernet sauvignon minus the alcohol.
