Sweet Home Citrus Mocktail

Bright, refreshing, and wonderfully fruit-forward—your Sweet Home Citrus Mocktail.

Crisp Sweet Home Peach Cider and Sweet Home Strawberry Cider combine with citrus and a touch of sweetness to create a mocktail that’s both playful and refined. Fresh lemon and lime lift the juicy fruit base while a splash of sparkling water gives it effervescent flair.

It’s perfect for porch sipping, brunch gatherings, or anytime you want a light, alcohol-free refreshment built on Sweet Home’s handcrafted juices and ciders.
