Customer Questions (5)
Q: How many cocktails does the kit make? I know there are 4 different recipes but how many cocktails can I make with the amount of ingredients given? Asked by Rachel H., December 2022
Each kit makes a minimum of 4 drinks with most averaging between 6 - 8. Most users will be left with extra ingredients after making the cocktails as well to practice their own mixology at home!
Q: Are there perishable items in boxes if they will be saved to give in the future?Asked by Melinda G., October 2022
Hey Melinda;
All the ingredients in our kits are shelf stable and have a shelf life of approximately one year (or longer)!
Q: Are there bar tools included? Also can you add alcohol to the drinks? Asked by Taitum R., February 2022
We generally include a piece of barware or something like cocktail napkins. And yes, the drinks themselves are zero-proof but you can certainly add alcohol if you prefer!
Q: DOES THIS BOX COME WITH THE GLASSES?Asked by Yesenia H., February 2022
We do not typically include glassware, no.

We've really enjoyed this subscription! We wanted to enjoy the ritual of having cocktails without consuming as much alcohol, and this has been a fun way to change things up. The items included in each shipment are great, and the recipes are tasty. I'm glad we tried it!
Just OK

I had a number of issues with this box. I was charged for a second box before I had even received the first and didn't, in fact, receive my first box until 9 days after being charged for the second box.
When I received the box, the items were disappointing. I received a 750 ml bottle of alcohol free whisky. Unfortunately no one, including myself, who tasted it liked it. And we tried it a number of different ways some included with the box, some I got off the internet. There were only two items in the box that I actually liked and the giant bottle of alcohol free whisky wasn't one of them. I still don't know what to do as I have half a bottle of it left and that was even hosting a small get together so people could try it out and see if they liked it.
I decided it would be better and more affordable for me to just explore mocktails on my own.

Really enjoyed this months recipe drink “Falling Slowly” - it wasn’t too sweet and was a pleasantly refreshing fall inspired drink.

I asked that the first of these shipments be delayed until after Christmas. After a few emails I was assured that this was easily possible and first order would be shipped after the 25th. Low and behold, the first shipment has already been delivered and Christmas surprise ruined.
FANTASTIC Gift for Non-Drinkers

Love, love, love this gift! Fantastic box - thoroughly enjoyed every detail. I was especially impressed with the thoughtful garnish - which was included. We already purchased more of the sparking NA wine and mixer. Great way to get turned on to new products/vendors for those of us not imbibing. :)
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! So glad you enjoyed and that you were able to discover some new products you loved!

It was alright, just a little on like I guess you could say sour side. I guess it just wasn't my cup and flavor. But always willing to try new things!
Hi Kyra, thanks so much for the feedback! We try to balance out sweet/sour/spicy/savory, so you will definitely find different flavors to try in each kit. Cheers!

September 2021 - Harvest Moon
As the weather turns cooler, we're gravitating towards autumnal flavors. "Harvest Moon" uses blackberry black tea as a foundation, combined with rich fig syrup, cardamom bitters, and ginger & turmeric soda. This drink is the perfect way to welcome fall.
Apple of my Chai
Fall is officially here, and we're embracing all things autumnal. Warming chai spices blend perfectly with spiced apple syrup and the brightness of ginger shrub - shake it all up with a creamy egg white for a spicy and sweet elegant fall drink.
August 2021 - The Secret Garden
Herbaceous and citrusy, The Secret Garden can be enjoyed two ways - with the light taste of white peaches using the Droplet Pretty Balanced, or the refreshing crisp dryness of the Dry Botanical Bubbly Cucumber. Use whatever fresh citrus juice you have on hand. A sprig of fresh rosemary is encouraged!
Smoky Rose - February 2021 Box
One of the most exciting things about the quickly growing alcohol-free beverage space is the rise in zero-proof spirits, such as Lyre’s extensive offerings. Their American Malt has a spicy and mellow complexity which pairs beautifully with Portland Syrups’ sweet and floral Rose Cordial and smoky Lapsang Souchong tea. If you like a bit of fizz, you can top your drink off to taste with Aura Bora’s Cactus Rose sparkling water or just enjoy it on its own!
#CranberryDreams - November 2020 Box
Inspired by the epic good vibes exuded by @420doggface208 in his viral TikTok video, this drink features Pratt Standard cranberry orange syrup as well as other autumnal flavors. The enclosed recipe card teaches you how to make an elegant and smooth eg--white based cocktail, or you can use the enclosed FeverTree club soda to make it a sparkling drink.
World on Fire - October 2020 Box
2020 has been nothing short of...well, a dumpster fire. Just when we think it can't get any worse, it does. This month, we're owning it and presenting a box full of fiery and smoky ingredients that pack a punch to help you cope with the flames. Stick a straw in and (stainless) steel yourself for whatever the rest of this crazy year might bring!
Tea-cher's Pet - September 2020 Box
Our very first box, released September 2020. This #zeroproof drink is a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy and features flavors of fall. Six months into #theseunprecedentedtimes, we could all use a refreshing #alcoholfree drink to take the edge off. Perfect gift for that special teacher in your life or to treat yourself!
Spring Awakening
Happier Hour
The Happier Hour is a bright and lively thirst quencher with a sophisticated flavor profile, challenging the notion that "Happy Hour" requires the hard stuff. This drink is the perfect summer sipper with fresh and complex flavors of rhubarb, lemon balm & turmeric.
June 2021 - Lady Lavender
This kit was a THREE in one! With three variations, lemon pairs beautifully with lavender, offsetting the sweet herbaceous notes with tart and bright citrus.
July 2021 - MoHEATo
We’re spicing up the the traditional Mojito with Sexy AF’s Spiced Yum - a rum-style, alcohol-free spirit - along with some heat from King Floyd’s Green Chili bitters. The perfect summer cocktail! Available as a one-time kit at weareraisingthebar.com
November 2021 - Wanderlust
Boasting complex layers of flavors and a hint of effervescence, "Wanderlust" combines the sophisticated spiced palate of Wilderton with the fruity and tart notes of the tea and shrub. Bourbon barrel-aged syrup adds the perfect hint of sweet oakiness.
