Behind the Scenes: Mixing it Up on WDIO’s The Lift

The World is Loud. Let’s Shift the Vibe.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of stepping into the studio with Baihly Warfield on WDIO’s The Lift! As a creative collaborator and retail owner, I’m always looking for ways to elevate the non-alcoholic beverage experience, and sharing our signature Lush January collection with the Northland was a total highlight.

If you missed the segment, don’t worry—we’re breaking down the three "zero-proof" stars of the show right here. Whether you’re leaning into the sober-curious movement or just looking for a sophisticated, functional drink that tastes as good as it looks, these recipes are for you.

1. The Lady Sipper “Moss + Honey” Tonic

The Vibe: Earthy, Grounded, and Deeply Restorative.

This isn’t your average cup of tea. We created the "Moss and Honey" for those moments when you need a ritual, not just a drink. It’s a complex, five-tea blend (think green, mint, peach, and lemon) anchored by the earthy, cognitive-boosting power of Jade Matcha.

  • Key Ingredients: Jade Matcha, honey, fresh lemon, and our signature botanical tea blend.

  • Why it works: Serving it hot in a mug with a matcha-sugar rim makes it feel like a high-end spa experience in your own kitchen.


2. The Lady Sipper “Blueberry Doe”

The Vibe: Spirited, Zesty, and Effervescent.

Named for its graceful but punchy personality, the "Blueberry Doe" features the Amethyst Blueberry Ginger Mint botanical spirit. We love this one because it proves that non-alcoholic cocktails don't have to be "juice for grown-ups"—they can have heat, depth, and edge.

  • Key Ingredients: Amethyst Blueberry Ginger Mint, Strongwater ginger beer, and a crisp lime squeeze.

  • Why it works: The ginger provides that "bite" people often miss in NA drinks, while the jammy blueberry base gives it a stunning, jewel-toned hue.


3. The Lady Sipper “High-Low”

The Vibe: The Sophisticated Rebel.

This is my personal favorite for when you want something unique and EASY. We call it the "High-Low" because it pairs the high-end, dark, fermented complexity of The Pathfinder Hemp and Root Spirit with the nostalgic, citrusy snap of a chilled Fresca.

  • Key Ingredients: The Pathfinder Root Spirit, Fresca, and fresh lime.

  • Why it works: It’s a bittersweet, bubbly spritz that drinks like a classic Italian Amaro. It’s "High-Low" culture in a glass!


Why Non-Alcoholic?

The 2026 drink trends are all about function and flavor. Today, we’re looking for ingredients like matcha for clarity and botanicals for stress relief—all without the fog of a hangover.

At its heart, Lady Sipper is about building a life that feels good. It’s about engaging in experiences that enhance the day-to-day and expanding your choices, not restricting your options. We aren't taking anything away; we’re adding a new layer of sophistication and intentionality to your glass.
