Looking for something refreshing, light, and flavorful—without the sugar crash or the next-day fog?

This article is your island escape in a glass.

We’re trading heavy mixers and sticky syrups for crisp herbs, fresh-brewed coffee, coconut cream, and Kōloa Rum’s clean, nuanced finish. Whether you’re winding down with a caffeine-free tea spritz or powering up with a cold coffee kick, these drinks deliver bold flavor and island charm in every pour.

Best of all, every recipe includes a fully alcohol-free mocktail variation, so you can sip something beautiful whether you’re using rum or not.

Keep reading for drinks that feel indulgent—but leave you feeling light, refreshed, and a little more inspired.
