The Best Nonalcoholic Cocktails for Summer, Inspired by Michigan’s Harvest
There’s nothing quite like a Michigan summer — long golden evenings, farm stands in full swing, and the simple joy of a cold drink in hand. At The Still Bar, we bottle the flavors of the season into zero-proof cocktails that feel just as festive as their boozy counterparts, without the hangover or haze.
If you're looking to stock your cooler or bar cart with something refreshing, vibrant, and alcohol-free, here are the best nonalcoholic cocktails for summer, straight from our seasonal lineup.
1. Roasted Blueberry + Basil Margarita
🍇 Fresh-picked blueberries, charred for depth. Basil for brightness. All tied together with fresh lime and our housemade zero-proof tequila.
This isn't your average marg. The Roasted Blueberry + Basil Margarita is smoky, herbaceous, and tart — made for warm nights on the patio, with or without a salted rim.
Serve it with: Tacos, grilled corn, or a late-summer tomato salad

2. Dry Hopped Paloma
🍊 Citrusy and complex, this Paloma gets a bitter edge from dry hopping — giving it an almost IPA-like finish, but without the booze.
Made with grapefruit, lime, and a hint of salt, the Dry Hopped Paloma is endlessly crushable and perfect for the beer drinker who’s exploring alcohol-free options.
Serve it with: Fish tacos, ceviche, or anything you’d eat lakeside

3. Cherry Negroni
🍒 Tart Michigan cherries meet bitter herbs and burnt orange. The result is bold, structured, and perfect for sipping slowly.
This drink was made for sunset. The Cherry Negroni balances sweet and bitter with precision, making it a favorite for fans of spirit-forward cocktails who still want to feel sharp and present.
Serve it with: Marinated olives, aged cheese, or grilled mushrooms
