Holiday Mocktails & Cocktails Just Got an Upgrade
Meet Blood Orange Grapefruit Hoppy Hour
When the holidays roll in, so do the invites, the food spreads, the group hangs, and the endless drink options that can leave you feeling… less than festive the next day. At Hoppy Hour, we believe celebration shouldn’t come with caveats. That’s why our hop-kissed sparkling water — infused with adaptogens and nootropics like Lion’s Mane and Ginseng — exists: to keep the good vibes high, your energy steady, and your glass full of something you actually feel good drinking.
And now, we’ve brought a little sunshine to winter: Blood Orange Grapefruit Hoppy Hour
This flavor is all citrus brightness — a juicy pop of grapefruit with the warm, sunset-like sweetness of blood orange. It’s balanced, lively, and designed to make mindful sipping feel fun, not forced. Zero alcohol. Zero sugar. Zero carb. All upsides. No downsides.
Whether you’re hosting, attending, or escaping to the couch after skiing, here are two festive holiday drinks — one mocktail and one cocktail — that deliver big flavor.

How Hoppy Hour Makes Holiday Hosting Feel Lighter

Sparkling Water, Not Beer — but with that subtle hop-kissed depth
Functional Ingredients like Lion’s Mane, Ginseng, and L-Theanine
Zero Alcohol / Zero Sugar / Zero Caffeine
Bright, balanced flavor that actually feels like a reward
Whether people are drinking or not, everyone gets to be part of the cheers moment.
