SipSide Mocktails: Premium Ready-to-Drink Mocktails Review
Hospitality in a Can: Inside SipSide Mocktails, the Dallas Brand Rewriting the Alcohol-Free Toast
You know the moment. The room fills, glasses go up, and someone hands you a club soda with a lime wedge like a consolation prize. Whether you're sober, sober-curious, driving, training, expecting, or simply not in the mood, you deserve a drink that feels like an invitation, not an apology.
That is exactly the gap SipSide Mocktails was built to close. The Dallas-based brand makes premium ready-to-drink mocktails: sparkling, layered, zero-proof blends in a 12 oz can that look as good on a bar cart as they taste over ice. Just in time for holiday hosting season, here's why SipSide belongs on your radar.
Meet the founder: Jacobia Solomon
SipSide is the work of Jacobia Solomon, founder and CEO, who spent roughly two decades as a corporate executive before betting on herself. As the Fort Worth Report tells it, she launched the company in March 2026 from the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
The spark was personal. Solomon often skipped alcohol at professional mixers and celebrations, and kept running into the same problem: the non-alcoholic options were an afterthought. Rather than keep settling, she built the drink she wanted to be handed.
The result is a brand that is proudly Black- and female-owned, rooted in culture and community, and unapologetically elevated. Its brand promise says it best: Your Better Side Just Showed Up.
The lineup: four flavors, zero compromise
SipSide launched with four signature flavors, each built in layers rather than one sugary note. Shop them individually or grab the Mix & Match Pack to find your favorite.
Tropical Bliss — Pineapple up front, coconut for a silky body, and a berry finish. Your vacation-mode pour, no passport required.
Mango Chili Dream — Ripe mango with a slow cayenne warmth at the finish. The bold one, and the conversation starter at any party.
Honey Peach Delight — Peach and apricot wrapped in honey and vanilla. Soft, golden, and made for brunch or a quiet night in.
Raspberry Lemon Basil Smash — Tart raspberry, bright lemon, and fresh basil. Crisp, herbal, and the most cocktail-like of the four.
A clean label you can actually read
For the woman who reads the back of the can, SipSide checks the boxes. The brand lists its mocktails as 100% natural with no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. They're also vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher and low calorie, according to the SipSide shop.
Pricing lands at roughly $5 to $6 per 12 oz can, depending on pack size, with nationwide shipping that typically goes out in two to four business days.
How to serve SipSide like a host
A canned mocktail is easy. A canned mocktail served with intention is a moment. A few ways to dress it up this season:
Mango Chili Dream: Pour over ice in a rocks glass with a chili-lime rim and a mango spear. Pair it with street tacos or a charcuterie board heavy on aged cheddar.
Honey Peach Delight: Serve in a coupe with a thin peach slice for brunch, or warm the room at a Friendsgiving table next to anything with brown butter.
Raspberry Lemon Basil Smash: Tall glass, crushed ice, a basil sprig and a lemon wheel. It's the one to hand the friend who "doesn't do mocktails."
Tropical Bliss: A highball with a pineapple wedge and toasted coconut rim turns a winter night into a getaway.
Pro tip: set up a zero-proof station at your next party with all four flavors chilled in a galvanized tub. Guests choose for themselves, and no one has to explain why.
Bigger than the bar cart
SipSide isn't only for your fridge. The brand runs a full Wholesale & Events program for hotels, restaurants, retailers, resorts, airlines, universities, weddings, corporate gatherings and sports venues. It calls the offering "Hospitality in a Can," and it's a smart play for any planner who wants every guest to feel considered.
That ambition is already showing up on big stages. In July 2026, the Women's National Football Conference named SipSide the Official Premium Non-Alcoholic Beverage Partner of its 2026 HER Game Combine in Miami. SipSide served guests from the executive reception through the player celebration.
"At SipSide, we believe the best celebrations are the ones where everyone feels welcome," Solomon said in announcing the partnership.
Why this matters right now
The sober-curious movement is no longer a January trend. IWSR consumer data reported by Beverage Industry found that 31% of millennial drinkers abstain from alcohol for a month or more for lifestyle reasons, compared with 21% of all U.S. drinkers.
Women are leading a lot of that shift, and we're done accepting soda water as the alternative. Brands like SipSide meet that demand with something genuinely grown-up: real ingredients, real flavor, and packaging you're proud to set out.
The RB Lifestyle verdict
SipSide is the hostess gift, the brunch upgrade and the party-season staple rolled into one can. Pick up a Mix & Match Pack for yourself, then send one to the friend who always plans the gatherings. For more gifting ideas, browse the RB Gift Guide.
