Belching Beaver Hard Seltzer
This brewery might have a silly name but all jokes aside, their hard seltzers are so dam good. These spiked sparkling drinks are offered in Passionfruit & Guava or Raspberry & Blackberry varieties. Both are vegan, gluten-free, low carb with no sugar added – just real fruit and the hard stuff! Belching Beaver ships throughout California and can be purchased and shipped nationwide on craftshack.com. SD Locals: Both Vista locations are taking to-go orders, and tasting rooms have modified hours for pick-up.
JuneShine Hard Kombucha
Boozy ‘booch has officially taken over Southern California, with JuneShine leading the way. Offering honest alcohol in delicious flavors like Blood Orange Mint and Acai Berry, JuneShine has upped the ante with two new 100 calorie options. The eco-friendly company goes above and beyond to support sustainability, too. JuneShine offers home delivery to several locations in California, Nevada, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. SD Locals: Stock up with a sampler 24-pack, available for 2-hour delivery.
You & Yours Canned Cocktails
Those who live in California should be able to get their hands on these light and refreshing pre-mixed sips. If the pretty packaging isn’t enticing enough, the super-clean ingredient list will be. These gluten-free drinks use fruit and vegetables for color and flavor and their grape-based gin and vodka distilled in downtown San Diego. For those working on their mixology skills, check out the cocktail menu on the You & Yours website. The team lists the ingredients and directions for a few of their unique creations like the bright purple ‘Mood Ring’ or the health-conscious ‘Summer Salad.’ SD Locals: You & Yours is offering a Friday food and drink to-go menu.
