Red Raider NA Summer Sour 🥃

🥃 Bold Without the Buzz: The Red Raider Mocktail


If you're searching for a non-alcoholic cocktail that doesn’t sacrifice complexity, flavor, or flair, meet your new favorite: the Red Raider Mocktail. This zero-proof creation delivers the richness of a classic bourbon cocktail with a sparkly, playful twist — perfect for summer sipping, tailgate parties, or elevated happy hours without the hangover.

Inspired by the bold spirit of Southern hospitality and infused with vibrant citrus and berry notes, the Red Raider is where modern mixology meets mindful drinking.


🎯 The Inspiration

The Red Raider is more than just a mocktail — it’s a statement. A nod to timeless bourbon-forward drinks, this zero-proof version uses Spiritless Kentucky 74, a beautifully distilled non-alcoholic spirit that mimics the oaky warmth of bourbon. Layered with Lyre’s Orange Sec for a touch of sweet orange, brightened with lemon juice, and topped with a sparkly splash of Pink Shake, this drink is a celebration in every glass.

Whether you're taking a break from booze, exploring NA options, or just want something delicious to serve your guests, this mocktail delivers.
