One Saturday afternoon, Christiana and Nic went searching for a delicious zero-proof cocktail that they could bring on a beach picnic. After visiting ten grocery stores (yes, really), all they seemed to find were options that tasted like flavored water or used crazy amounts of sugar. 

“If we can’t find it, let’s make it,” said Nic. Their weekend took an unexpected turn, but it was worth it. Together, they set out on a journey to create authentic-tasting cocktails without alcohol. 

Christiana and Nic spent hours in their kitchen, perfecting delicious recipes from all-natural ingredients. Nic liked to joke that they were mad scientists, meticulously testing over 40 iterations of each recipe. 

They wanted something that felt just as luxurious as an expertly-made cocktail after a long week — without the additives that they saw in other mocktails. No health gimmicks. No mystery additives. Just pure, honest flavor. 

They partnered with local Wisconsin producers to turn her recipes into ready-to-drink beverages, and Luba Libations was born.
