27 to 27

As we age, I feel like more and more people get less enthusiastic to hit a new age number. I want to change that stigma and share the importance of growing older, maturing, and sharing life’s wisdoms. As a way to celebrate my 27th birthday this year, I am counting down 27 drinks all the way until my 27th birthday, and sharing some things I’ve learned along the way.

I’m starting this drink off with Identity. It took me time to truly find my identity outside of things that are external and instead in things that are internal such as my purpose and calling in life. One of my favorite quotes is “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”

For this cohesive mocktail, I wanted to show a modern twist to a mocktail using marketing “non-alcoholic” items and adding in some fun functionality. It’s bright, citrusy, and a little herby to round out the sweetness.
