Ginger beer.
This spicy brew is briefly fermented, yielding a cloudy appearance and intense flavor. Combine ginger beer with lime juice and crushed ice for a healthy take on a Moscow Mule; serve in a copper cup.
Kombucha.
Enjoy this probiotic-rich fermented tea for its pleasant taste, fizzy texture, and digestive benefits. Low-cal kombucha typically contains as few as 4 grams sugar per 16 ounces. Sip in a festive fluted glass garnished with an orange wedge.

Seltzer.
Delivered door-to-door in hand-blown glass bottles in the mid-1900s, seltzer is simply water in which bubbly carbon dioxide is dissolved. In a party-worthy tumbler over ice, combine seltzer with a splash of pomegranate juice, orange juice, and a squeeze of lemon; finish with a few pomegranate seeds.
