About us
About Casa Piñata
Casa Piñata makes premium alcohol-free cocktails, tonics, and sparkling shrubs—built with the same care, balance, and depth you’d expect from a great drink, just without the alcohol.
We focus on bold flavour: bright fruit, fresh herbs, gentle acidity, and just enough sparkle to keep things lively. No artificial flavours. No shortcuts. Just real ingredients, thoughtfully combined to make drinks that actually taste good.
Our drinks are meant for everyone at the table—whether you’re skipping alcohol entirely, taking a break, or mixing things your own way. They stand confidently on their own, but they also play very nicely with a splash of your favourite spirit.
How it started
The idea for Casa Piñata came from flavour first.
Growing up, Tepache was a familiar part of life—complex, refreshing, and full of character. Years later, after moving to Canada and working in the craft beer world, that love for fermentation, balance, and process never really went away.
I spent years experimenting with ingredients and techniques, originally with the goal of creating something alcoholic. Then, during my wife’s pregnancy, one thing became very clear: good non-alcoholic options were hard to find. Not “fine,” not “sweet juice,” but drinks with real structure and intention.
So I made one.
That first alcohol-free Tepache changed everything—and Casa Piñata grew from there.
How we make things
Every Casa Piñata drink starts the same way: with real ingredients and a lot of attention.
We carefully extract flavour from fresh herbs and spices, blend them with premium fruit juices, and balance everything with acidity—often from citrus or vinegar—to keep things bright, layered, and refreshing.
Then comes the sparkle. Enough to lift the drink, never enough to get in the way.
Our drinks are batched, filled, and labeled with care. They may not be machine-perfect—and that’s kind of the point. Each one reflects the hands, decisions, and curiosity behind it.
At the end of the day, Casa Piñata is about making drinks that feel special without feeling exclusive. Drinks that belong at dinner parties, brunch tables, backyard hangs, and celebrations of all kinds.
No alcohol required.
Creativity encouraged.
Cheers — and ¡salud!
