If Shirley Temple grew up to be a bad-ass action hero.
Drinking has long been synonymous with a good time. From antiquity until now, society has always turned to the spirits to liven our spirits during sporting events, celebrations and general festive gatherings.
So, for those among us who don’t, won’t or can’t partake, there can be considerable anxiety, when someone inevitably ask you, “What can I get you to drink?” And at this point, you can feel obligated to go into a lengthy explanation of why you’re not drinking (you’re cleansing; you’re expecting triplets; you’re on medication; you’re still in mourning for your cat named Brewsky or you just plunge head first into the TMI account of the STD you contracted back in your hazy college days, etc).
But, you could also take the simpler route and just ask for a Samuelson.
It’s not a stiff drink but it’s by no means stiff either. The Samuelson is a grown and sexy mocktail, created by non-drinkers who were tired of shamefully asking bartenders for Shirley Temples and water. The Samuelson is packed with the power of ginger, the acidity of lime, a crisp finish of mint and a little effervescent added for excitement. As your go-to bar beverage, the Samuelson is an intense playground for the palate—not child’s play. So, don’t skip out on the next social outing just because you’re not drinking. Now, when you order the Samuelson, the only non-drinking questions you should be fielding, is whether they can try it or not.
THE SAMUELSON
A mocktail with true spirit
A sexy and mature bar choice for the grown-ups who, for whatever reason, are abstaining. With the Samuelson as your go-to bar beverage, you won't miss out on the social fun—just the alcohol.

CASE STUDIES
The Samuelson mocktail
For years I have ordered drinks that I didn't want just to fit in socially. To have a featured mocktail that taste amazing is refreshing. Pun intended.
I have never been a big drinker. In fact, I would often order club soda or Shirley Temples to fit in at bars and social settings. The Samuelson is the perfect alternative.
When I was pregnant, I was dying for a drink and often avoided parties and work get-togethers. The Samuelson was perfect to have in-hand to feel like you are a part of the party without actually drinking.
As a recovering alcoholic, the Samuelson allows me to still enjoy happy hour and feel apart of the social atmosphere. Great tasting and the ginger feels like it gives a slight buzz.
I've spent years dealing with anxiety in certain social settings when people ask me what I'm drinking or why I'm not drinking. The Samuelson mocktail has alleviated a lot of those tensions. It's now my go-to cocktail.
