Five great non-alcoholic drinks to serve for a safe and family-friendly 4th of July
I love 4th of July - in Seattle it usually signals that we're about to enjoy our two months of sunshine, and everyone seems a bit happier than usual. This year my family is throwing a big bash and here are a few great options I plan on serving.

2 oz pineapple juice
4 oz pressed coconut water (add in TB of cream of coconut if you want an even more powder blue color)
Instructions: Add lime juice, syrup and pineapple juice to a shaker filled with ice. If using the cream of coconut add here. Shake until chilled. Pour into a fresh glass of ice and top with coconut water. Stir and enjoy!
Sober Carpenter Non-Alcoholic Beers
Sober Carpenter is a Canadian craft beverage company that brews up some awesome non-alcoholic options. I like the Irish Red best, which is a medium-bodied ale with notes of barley and caramel. The White is a rich wheat beer, but a little too funky for me. I also love their traditional n/a IPA. Try it and let me know what you think, I found these at BevMo.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!
