As the Arizona sun sizzles, diners can beat the heat with Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen‘s popular zero-proof cocktails, now featuring six handcrafted mocktails that are as refreshing as they are delicious. These vibrant bevvies are the perfect complement to the health-focused Italian menu, featuring gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-friendly specialties like handcrafted pizzas, pastas, salads, and more.
“Mocktails are having a moment,” Managing Partner Chris Disney said. Since debuting their first three zero-proof cocktails in 2023, the demand has continued to grow, leading to the exciting expansion of offerings.
“We’re seeing a rising demand for non-alcoholic options with healthy ingredients like ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, and cucumber. Heading into spring and summer, we’re excited to offer this selection of nine fun, flavorful mocktails,” Disney added.
The Detox on the Rocks blends non-alcoholic Giffard ginger liqueur with crisp Owen’s sparkling cranberry juice, served over a jumbo ice cube for a slow, refreshing sip. It’s a bold yet balanced drink with just the right touch of sweetness and spice.
Cool, crisp, and perfect for summer, The Clean Cucumber is a tropical, spa-inspired beverage that’s refreshing and flavorful. It’s crafted with non-alcoholic Giffard pineapple liqueur, Monin cucumber, lemon juice, and pineapple juice, finished with soda water and a twist of lemon peel.
The Ginger Immune Boost is a wellness-forward sip that balances bold flavor with nourishing ingredients. Featuring non-alcoholic Giffard ginger liqueur, Monin turmeric, and lemon juice, this drink is shaken with sage leaves and finished with a garnish of sage and candied ginger. It’s a citrusy sip designed to uplift and refresh.
Other exciting new drinks include the Aperitivo Spritz, Lemon Zero Rita, and Blue Elderflower. Original fan favorites – Tropical Punch, A Lotta Colada, and It’s Blueberry Thyme – are still available. From Sedona to Scottsdale and beyond, Picazzo’s locations make it easy to enjoy your favorites close to home. For more information, visit picazzos.com.
