Brighten up your bar cart with these Daydream cocktails

Forget your stale mixers — Daydream's range of sparkling water infused with adaptogens and hemp extracts makes cocktails with an unforgettable taste. 

It’s time to level up your drinks game — but the good news is that it doesn’t have to be complicated or calorific. Daydream is not your average sparkling water. It’s an adaptogenic beverage with hemp extracts that help you find calm — and the perfect mixer for all of your cocktails and mocktails.

Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that have been used for centuries to fight physical and mental stressors. With ingredients like hemp, schisandra and ginseng, you’ll experience increased balance and clarity, stress reduction, and improved focus and memory. Which, we think you’ll agree, is slightly more impressive than your typical mixer.

In addition to this cocktail of health benefits, the Ontario-created beverage has 0 sugar and only 10 calories per can. Daydream comes in a range of otherworldly flavours — Blackberry Chai, Cucumber Lime, Peach Ginger — making it a dreamy twist on the classic sparkling water. The ultimate cocktail accompaniment, Daydream has inspired mixology across the city.

With a more full-bodied flavour than typical sparkling water, Daydream blends with intriguing ingredients like matcha and fresh berries, plus spirits like bourbon, tequila, vodka and gin. From complex cocktails to fun mocktails, this is the healthy mixer of your dreams. Daydream is now available at major retailers including select Loblaws across Canada.
