Blake Lively– Betty Buzz Sparkling Grapefruit Mocktail
Blake Lively has her very own non-alcoholic drink business, Betty Buzz. And if you're worried about mocktails being too sweet, Blake's got you covered. "It was important for me, when creating Betty Buzz, to have drinks that weren't too sweet. That didn't take away from the dish if you were eating food, but were flavorful enough if you wanted to have a drink and feel like you were having [something special]," she told Harper's Bazaar. Blake's favorite mocktail is her signature Betty Buzz Sparkling Grapefruit Mocktail: 1 sliced grapefruit, ½ bottle Betty Buzz Sparkling Grapefruit, and fresh mint sprig.

Katherine Heigl – Fruit & Herb Shrubs With Sparkling Water

The Grey's Anatomy star made a ton of shrubs in mason jars: strawberry and mint, strawberry and sage, blueberry and thyme, plum and ginger, etc. "A splash of one of these in a tumbler filled with ice and sparkling water makes me feel like I'm indulging in my new favorite summer cocktail," she wrote.
