Cocktail Recipes & How to Serve

Casamara Club bottles with cocktail mixing ingredients

Our botanical sodas and non-alcoholic aperitivo are designed to drink on their own—served cold, glass and garnish optional. But they also work as cocktail mixers: more interesting than soda water, less sweet than tonic or conventional soda.

Below are simple serve recommendations for each style we offer, followed by cocktail recipes if you want to get more involved.

Part 1: Simple Serves

Product Garnish Pairs with
ALTA Classic Italian Aperitivo Orange twist Dry gin, Campari
ONDA Sicilian Coastal Amaro Lemon twist, green olive Mezcal, dry vermouth, herbaceous amaro
COMO Alpine Citrus Amaro Orange twist Bourbon, blanco tequila, blanc vermouth
SERA Riviera Apero Spritz Orange twist Aged rum, rye whiskey
ISLA Mellow Caribbean Ginger Lime wedge, mint sprig Jamaican rum, bourbon, dark amaro
FORA Garden District Strawberry Lemon wedge Rum agricole, Spanish vermouth, fruit-forward gin
SUPERCLASICO Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo Orange wheel Bourbon, dry gin, aged rum

The simplest serve: Cold from the fridge. Glass and garnish optional. For the full experience, pour into your preferred glassware over ice, add the garnish, and serve the remainder in the can or bottle alongside the glass.

The simple highball: 2 oz spirit + botanical soda to top + garnish. Build over ice, stir gently.
