Why De Soi’s Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo Is the Sip We’re Craving
Let’s set the scene: you’re at a weekend brunch, the table is laid out with fluffy pancakes, eggs that cost twice as much because they’re poached, and of course, a line-up of drinks that would make your mom say, “Just one, honey.” But here’s the catch—we’re not reaching for the bubbly. Instead, we’re pouring something with a little less buzz but a lot more intention: De Soi, the non-alcoholic aperitivo that’s taking over our happy hours and, quite frankly, our hearts.
We love a drink that lets us play hard and wake up harder, minus the side-eye from our Apple Watch telling us we’ve slept terribly. De Soi, co-created by pop icon Katy Perry and master distiller Morgan McLachlan, is the mindful sip you didn’t know you needed. Think: low-sugar, high-vibe, and bursting with botanicals that feel like a spa day in a glass. De Soi isn’t trying to be a replacement—it’s a revelation.
The Sip That Slays: Health Meets Function
You know that moment when you’re three mimosas in, and the room’s a little too loud? De Soiskips the drama, keeping you fully present with blends that feel sophisticated, not sad. These drinks are more than a “mocktail”—they’re crafted with adaptogens like reishi mushroom and maca, which basically means you’re drinking your wellness routine. Sure, it won’t replace your green juice, but it will keep your nervous system from a total meltdown.

Find the flavor that feels like you!
Take Golden Hour, for instance. It’s light, citrusy, and feels like liquid sunshine—minus the hangover you’d be nursing till Tuesday. It’s less about what you’re missing (hello, ethanol) and more about what you’re gaining: mental clarity, a sense of calm, and the satisfaction of having a night out without needing a nap the next day. The taste? Complex, refreshing, and with just the right amount of bitterness to remind you that life, like this drink, doesn’t need to be sweet to be good.
A Bottle of Culture
Now, let’s talk aesthetics. Because let’s be honest—part of the joy of a drink is what it looks like on the ‘gram, and De Soi doesn’t disappoint. Each bottle feels like it could be on display at a chic Parisian café, not just sitting on your counter next to a neglected bottle of wine. The label design alone screams, “Yes, I’m health-conscious, but I’m also fabulous.”
De Soi has tapped into something that feels less like a trend and more like a movement. It’s a nod to the fact that socializing doesn’t have to come with the price of a foggy brain or a gut punch from cheap prosecco. It’s that sweet spot of enjoying the ritual of drinking without the regret.
Why We’re Here for It
Why do we love De Soi? Because it’s the drink that says, “I’m fun, but I also have a 7 a.m. workout.” It’s the kind of beverage you can pour for yourself when you’re celebrating wins, big or small, or when you just need something to take the edge off without actually losing the edge. For those of us riding the wave of work-life balance (or at least trying to), it’s the perfect way to keep things bubbly—sans booze.
So next time you’re at brunch, do yourself a favor: skip the headache and grab a glass of De Soi. You won’t miss the alcohol, but you might just find yourself missing the FOMO.
And honestly? That’s a trade we’re willing to make.
