The best non-alcoholic party setup has three things: something people can actually feel, something that tastes like a drink, and something easy for kids and drivers. Set them out together and nobody feels like they're drinking the "lesser" option.

## 1. Drinks people can feel

Put out a mix of canned botanicals in a bucket of ice. Kanna and green elixirs are the social ones; kava is for the late-night couch crowd. Variety packs make it easy to offer everything.

- [Kanna Pomegranate Fusion](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/kanna/products/pomegranate-fusion?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate): the chatty one.
- [Green Elixir Tiki Apple](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/elixir/products/tiki-apple-with-green-elixir?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate): upbeat, not wired.
- [Kava Orange Dream](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/kava-1/products/orange-dream-kava?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate): for winding down later.

## 2. Drinks that taste the part

- Non-alcoholic beer and sparkling non-alcoholic wine.
- A big-batch mocktail: sparkling water, cranberry or pomegranate juice, lime and rosemary.
- Ginger beer with lime for easy mules.

## 3. Easy drinks for everyone

Sparkling water, iced tea and lemonade. Label the botanical cans clearly and keep them separate from the kids' drinks.

## For dinner parties

Pour sparkling non-alcoholic wine with dinner, then bring out kava or a red elixir after, the way you'd pour a nightcap.

## For holiday parties

Pomegranate and citrus flavors fit the season. A cooler of kanna and elixirs next to the mocktail pitcher covers every guest.
