Three Drinks in This Month's Discovery Box That Are Actually Good for You

What we want from alcohol-free drinking has changed a lot in the past few years. We have gone from wanting an alternative away from cola or an elderflower pressé. Then we went from wanting different quality alternatives for different serves and different occasions. Today, quality alcohol-free drinks are very much a part of our lives - they are more present on restaurant menus and more than ever are opting for alcohol-free drinks when at home or out. 

So, what do we want next? Now we are looking for more than just flavour, quality and ritual, we want something else from our drinks. We want some form of benefit with our sips. Think mood boosting properties, ingredients to support with relaxation and gut friendly drinks.

This month's discovery box features three brands that perfectly embody that demand: a mood-boosting aperitivo spritz, a premium electrolyte drink for every day drinking, and a clean, functional focus drink built for busy days. Here's why we're excited about each one.

Smiling Wolf - Mood Boosting Spritz

You can buy the Smiling Wolf range here.

Smiling Wolf have paired their core alcohol-free spirit range with their ready-to-drink cocktail range. A pre mixed cocktail to enjoy at your convenience in any setting.

At its core, Smiling Wolf was created to replicate what many of us enjoy when drinking alcohol - the initial contentment, the sociability, the uplift. That and a perfectly sophisticated, complex flavour every time. 

Made from 18 different Mediterranean herbs and bitters, this months' Aperitivo is a naturally mood-enhancing non-alcoholic cocktail containing nootropics and B vitamins for a social buzz. These functional ingredients - which include Beta Alanine, L-Arginine, L-Theanine, L-Glycine, caffeine, B3, B5, and B6 - are known to promote an increase in alpha brainwaves, serotonin, and dopamine, as well as help regulate mood and decrease anxiety.

No crash. No hangover. Just a beautifully made spritz that earns its place at any table. It's no surprise that Smiling Wolf was the highest scoring non-alcoholic brand at the 2025 London Spirit Competition. 

NONNI - Premium Electrolyte Drink

Electrolyte drinks have long had an image problem. They're either intensely salty, medicinally flavoured, or designed exclusively for post-marathon recovery - none of which fits the rhythm of everyday life. We have been starting to see electrolytes take a spot in every day life through sachets and dissolvable tablets. This month, we spotlighted NONNI drinks to make consuming your electrolytes exciting and enjoyable.

This is a new kind of electrolyte drink, made for steady, everyday energy, not just sweaty recovery. By keeping salt levels lower while maintaining functional benefits, it delivers hydration without overwhelming your palate - the result is something you genuinely enjoy drinking, rather than something you force yourself to finish. 

NONNI is the UK's first premium, lower-salt sparkling electrolyte in a ready-to-drink can, and the flavour combinations reflect that food-forward thinking: think Sicilian Lemon with Garden Mint, and Grapefruit with Green Lime and a hint of Black Pepper. Under 20 calories, plant-powered, caffeine-free, and free from artificial sweeteners, it offers a gentle lift without the spikes and crashes associated with energy drinks.

Plus, although you can enjoy on the go on its own, it happens to be a wonderful alcohol-free mixer given its light, delicate flavour ! 

Vital-Fizz - Hydration and Focus Drink

For the days when you need your brain to actually fire on all cylinders, Vital-Fizz brings something a little extra. Crafted by healthcare professionals and nutritionists, while being backed by James Haskell, after extensive research Vital-Fizz has been designed to optimise fluids, fight fatigue, and support mental clarity without the energy crash.

What sets it apart from other "focus" drinks is the depth of its formula. Starting with natural caffeine and L-Theanine for steady energy, the blend layers in adaptogens, amino acids, and nootropics such as Lion's Mane, Ginseng, Tremella, and L-Tyrosine, with electrolytes and B-vitamins rounding out the formula to support hydration, mood, and focus. 

Each flavour is also designed with a specific function in mind - whether that's clarity and calm, endurance on long days, or a tropical lift for when you need momentum. It's all low sugar, made with natural caffeine, free from synthetic ingredients, and 100% plant-based. Clean fuel, real benefits.

We've included one of each in this month's box because together, they represent something we truly believe in at JOMO Club: that choosing not to drink (or simply choosing to drink better) should never feel like a compromise. These three brands prove it doesn't have to.

We hope you enjoy discovering them as much as we did!
