Sip Back and Relax
Looking for something cool, creative, and completely alcohol-free? You’re in luck. Pensacola Beach has stepped up its mocktail game, serving up sunshine in a glass for anyone skipping the booze but not the flavor. Here’s where to find the best sips on the sand.
Red Fish Blue Fish
Known for its backyard vibes and unbeatable waterfront view, Red Fish Blue Fish makes it easy to chill out. Their mocktail list reads like a frozen hit parade—Bushwacker, Strawberry Daiquiri, Piña Colada, Miami Vice, and Frozen Margarita—all for just $7. Pro tip: grab one and head for a lawn chair. That’s what we call refreshment with a view.
Water Pig BBQ
Come for the brisket, stay for the frozen drinks. Water Pig BBQ offers Bushwackers, Piña Coladas, Strawberry Daiquiris, and a rotating frozen specialty mocktail, all served strong on flavor and chill. Drinks start at $8, or level up to the $10 option served in a souvenir yard cup you’ll want to take home (and probably show off).
Salt
If you like your mocktails fancy with a side of flair, Salt is your stop. Their lineup includes:
- Mule Ticket – Grapefruit, ginger, and lime with a sharp citrus pop.
- Blueplate Special – Blueberry, lemon, and soda for that fizzy berry fix.
- From the Ground Up – Seedlip Garden, cucumber, lime, and mint, basically a garden party in a glass.
- Herb Your Enthusiasm – Seedlip Grove, blackberry, and lemon—equal parts herbal and refreshing.
Prices range from $11–$12, and every sip feels like a beachside botanical escape.
Drift
This breezy beachfront spot is serving mocktails with personality.
- Watermelon “Faux-ito” – Red Bull Watermelon Edition, Stirrings Cosmo mix, fresh lime, and mint.
- Blackberry Spritzer – Muddled blackberries, lime, simple syrup, and Sprite.
- Kiwi Mule Mocktail – Muddled kiwi, lime, simple syrup, and Q Ginger Beer.
Each is $7 and pairs perfectly with a Drift sunset.
Bonus Brew: The Non-Alcoholic Beer Scene
Still craving that crisp beer taste without the buzz? The Wharf Fish & Oyster Co. and Hideaway Beach Bar are both stocked with Heineken 0.0—an IPA-style non-alcoholic brew that lets you sip confidently in the sunshine. Same vibe, no hangover.
Where To Stay
Once you’re good and mocktailed, check in to one of the beachfront hotels that make Pensacola Beach the place to be. The Hilton Pensacola Beach offers stylish rooms and mocktails at Salt just steps away. Holiday Inn Resort keeps things fun with pools, lazy rivers, and Riptides next door. Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach is right in the heart of the action with unbeatable Gulf views and easy access to all the sips on this list.
Final Sip
Mocktails have officially made a name for themselves on Pensacola Beach. From frozen classics to herbaceous, handcrafted blends, there’s a drink for every mood—minus the alcohol. So grab a glass, find a hammock, and enjoy the chill side of the beach life.
