Dry October is an excellent opportunity to feel the benefits of life without booze. Sleep, weight loss, and a stronger immune system are some of the many perks[1]. Who knows—you may even like the way you’re feeling so much that you moderate your alcohol intake year-round.

Mocktails are having a moment because of this. So, if you feel like sipping on something delicious, we got just the drink for you.

Enter Sapsucker—Organic Sparkling Tree Water with no added sugar. Yes, water can come from trees, and it’s delicious! Lightly carbonated with a ‘subtle bubble,’ Sapsucker is naturally hydrating and sustainably harvested from Canadian maple trees. Unlike water from other sources, tree water is naturally sweet and supports immune health with 46 nutrients, minerals, and electrolytes.

The magic behind Sapsucker is simple: it’s clean, crisp, and refreshing. Go sans-booze with Sapsucker on its own or lean on the extra side and use Sapsucker as your mix in these three mocktails for Dry October.
