FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cheeky Cocktails Launches Cheeky Botanicals: Non-Alcoholic Functional Seltzers for Sipping or Mixing

Brooklyn, NY - Cheeky Cocktails, the maker of bar-quality cocktail mixers, syrups, and juices, announces the launch of Cheeky Botanicals, a new line of non-alcoholic functional seltzers with fiber designed to be sipped on their own or used in any cocktail that calls for tonic or seltzer.

The line launches on Kickstarter on Wednesday, March 11, at 9 AM EDT, debuting with three flavors: Lime Tonic, Orange Spritz, and Grapefruit Paloma. Together, the lineup introduces a new approach to modern mixers, bringing the functionality and lower sugar that consumers increasingly expect from beverages to the cocktail mixer category.

Each 12-oz can of Cheeky Botanicals contains:

  • 10g cane sugar
  • 4g prebiotic fiber
  • 50 calories
  • No artificial sweeteners
  • Real botanicals

The result is a crisp, refreshing botanical seltzer designed to work equally well as a sophisticated alcohol-free drink or as a modern cocktail mixer.

Bringing Innovation to the Mixer Aisle

While the soda aisle has evolved rapidly with functional and lower-sugar options, the mixer category has remained largely unchanged, often relying on high sugar, artificial ingredients, or sugar substitutes that leave behind an unpleasant aftertaste.

Cheeky Botanicals aims to change that.

“Consumers today want drinks that fit their lifestyles, something they can sip on their own or enjoy in a cocktail without the excessive sugar or artificial ingredients common in legacy mixers,” said April Wachtel, Founder of Cheeky Cocktails. “Cheeky Botanicals was designed to deliver that flexibility without sacrificing flavor.”

Designed for Cocktails and Beyond

Cheeky Botanicals are designed to complement or act as a substitute for classic cocktails such as Gin & Tonics, Spritzes, and Palomas, while also standing on their own as a refreshing non-alcoholic seltzer. The line gives consumers a versatile option they can enjoy on its own or use in recipes that call for tonic or seltzer.

Whether mixed or sipped solo, the line delivers bright botanical flavor with a clean finish.

From Bar-Quality Mixers to Functional Seltzers

Cheeky Cocktails built its reputation by offering professional-quality cocktail ingredients used by bartenders and hospitality programs nationwide. The launch of Cheeky Botanicals marks the company’s first expansion into canned, carbonated beverages, bringing the brand’s cocktail expertise into a new format.

Retail availability is expected to follow the Kickstarter launch.
