There’s a lot of interest these days in beverages without alcohol. Contributing writer Nancy Ransohoff explores creative new expressions of teas, coffees, and soft drinks in our “Hip Sips”feature. There are so many innovative options to discover. The ones shown here are just a few we found. Flip to page 68 of our June Drinks Issue to see the full lineup. Which will you try first?

Shown here in order or appearance:

Absolute stunners over at @marisellarestaurant, @ritzcarltonbacarasb. The views inside and out, in the glass and on the plate, are hard to surpass. Thank you for having us and thank you to @805living magazine for another beautiful collab in their Food & Wine issue, out now! 🥂

“Perched on a seaside bluff at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara @ritzcarltonbacarasb, Santa Barbara, the new Marisella @marisellarestaurant restaurant takes full advantage of its setting with expansive windows, flowing outdoor patios, and a seafood-centric coastal Italian menu. The fine-dining restaurant from chef-partner Danny Grant @chefdannygrant opened in June, offering a selection of local catch, handmade pastas, seasonal produce, and wood-fired meats. An Italian-leaning menu, a collaboration between Grant and executive chef Samuel Garcia @sam_en_place, highlights ingredients from local sources.”
