Host the ultimate 4th of July party with zero-sugar cocktails made using Above Board Liqueurs. Enjoy better-for-you holiday cocktails that taste incredible and keep guests feeling great all weekend long.

The 4th of July is the unofficial championship of summer entertaining.

The grill is fired up. The playlist is dialed in. Friends and family are gathered in the backyard. Then someone mentions they’re cutting back on sugar, watching carbs, managing diabetes, or simply trying to feel good the next morning.

For years, health-conscious guests were often left choosing between water, a vodka soda, or skipping cocktails altogether.

That’s exactly why we created Above Board Liqueurs.

Our award-winning line of zero-sugar liqueurs makes it possible to serve premium cocktails that deliver full flavor without the sugar overload. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, pool party, or fireworks celebration, these cocktails help everyone join the fun.

Many hosts are also embracing lower-ABV cocktails for summer entertaining. Lighter drinks help guests pace themselves while still enjoying a premium cocktail experience throughout the day.

Why More Hosts Are Looking for Better-For-You Cocktails

Traditional orange liqueurs, coffee liqueurs, cocktail mixers, and flavored spirits often contain significant amounts of added sugar. A few drinks during a hot summer afternoon can quickly add up.

Above Board Liqueurs are crafted with plant-based sweeteners Monkfruit and Allulose, offering sweetness without sugar or glycemic impact. They’re also gluten-free and designed for people who want premium cocktails that better align with their wellness goals.

We’re proud to be a woman-owned company helping lead the Better For You beverage movement.

Now for the cocktails.

Summer officially begins on June 20th, and with it comes everything we love about the season: sunshine, patios, pool days, beach gatherings, backyard barbecues, weddings, events, and, of course, great drinks.

Every summer has its signature pours. This year, the standouts are clear.

Margaritas are hot. Espresso martinis are still everywhere. Spritzes continue to dominate warm-weather menus. And mocktails are no longer an afterthought. They have become one of the most exciting categories in beverage culture.

What ties all of these together?

Consumers want better options.

They still want the ritual, the flavor, the celebration, and the experience. They just want ingredients that fit the way they live today.

That is where Above Board comes in.

The Drinks Are Not Changing. The Ingredients Are.

For decades, traditional liqueurs and syrups have played an important role in building some of the world’s most loved cocktails. But many of those ingredients come with a heavy sugar load.

At Above Board, we saw an opportunity to create something different.

Our line of zero sugar liqueurs and syrup is made with plant-based sweeteners, giving people a better way to enjoy the drinks they already love without sacrificing flavor, quality, or the cocktail experience.

You don’t have to change how you drink. Just what you pour.

Margaritas Are Having Their Summer Moment

Few cocktails say summer quite like a margarita.

Whether it is poolside, beachside, tableside, or at a backyard party, the margarita remains one of the most requested cocktails of the season.

Above Board Orange Liqueur brings bright citrus flavor from Valencia orange peel, making it a natural fit for margaritas, tequila cocktails, spritzes, and countless warm-weather drinks.

For restaurants and bars, it opens the door to premium no/low sugar cocktail options guests are actively asking for.

For consumers, it means enjoying a summer classic with better ingredients.

Espresso Martinis Are Still Everywhere

The espresso martini has moved far beyond trend status. It is now a modern staple.

From dinner reservations to weddings, events, rooftop bars, and late-night celebrations, espresso martinis continue to be one of the most in-demand cocktails.

Above Board Coffee Liqueur is made with Westrock dark roast espresso, creating a bold coffee profile that works beautifully in espresso martinis, coffee cocktails, and after-dinner drinks.

It delivers the indulgence people want, with a zero sugar approach that fits today’s Better For You beverage movement.

Spritz Season Starts Now

Spritzes are made for summer.

Light, refreshing, colorful, and easy to enjoy, spritz-style cocktails continue to show up everywhere from resorts and patios to home entertaining.

Above Board Orange Liqueur pairs beautifully with sparkling wine, soda water, prosecco, tequila, vodka, gin, rum, and more.

The result is a bright, elevated drink that feels perfect for warm days, long evenings, and sunny celebrations.

Summer Mocktails Deserve Better, Too

One of the biggest shifts in beverage culture is the rise of mocktails.

Consumers are looking for non-alcoholic drinks that feel intentional, beautiful, and satisfying, not like a watered-down substitute.

Above Board Original Syrup was created for exactly that.

Made with plant-based sweeteners and zero sugar, it brings balance and sweetness to mocktails without relying on traditional simple syrup, cane sugar, or agave nectar.

It is perfect for refreshing summer drinks like cucumber mint coolers, citrus fizz mocktails, sparkling lemonades, berry spritzes, iced tea refreshers, and alcohol-free cocktails that still feel elevated.

For restaurants, bars, caterers, mobile bars, resorts, and event venues, mocktails are becoming a real revenue opportunity.

For consumers, they offer a better choice for pool days, family gatherings, designated drivers, sober-curious guests, and anyone who wants something special without alcohol.

This summer, Above Board is not just transforming cocktails.

We are transforming the entire drink experience.

Built For The Spirits People Already Love

One of the best things about Above Board is how easily it works with the bottles people already have behind the bar or on the home bar cart.

Our products pair beautifully with:

• Tequila
• Vodka
• Gin
• Rum
• Whiskey
• Bourbon
• Mezcal
• Sparkling wine
• Cold brew
• Soda water
• Fresh citrus

Above Board does not complicate cocktail making. It expands what is possible.

For hospitality accounts, that means creating premium drink options without overhauling the entire bar program.

For home cocktail lovers, it means making better drinks with ingredients that are easy to use and easy to love.

Leading The Charge In The Better For You Beverage Movement

The skinny margarita movement showed the industry that people wanted lower-sugar cocktail options.

Now, that demand has grown far beyond one drink.

Today’s consumers are looking for better ingredients across the entire menu, including cocktails, mocktails, spritzes, coffee drinks, and everything in between.

Above Board is proud to be leading the charge in the Better For You beverage movement with zero sugar liqueurs and syrup made for the way people drink today.

Summer Starts Now

As patios fill up, events kick off, vacations begin, and summer celebrations take shape, one thing is clear:

The drinks people love are not going anywhere.

They are simply evolving.

Margaritas. Espresso martinis. Spritzes. Mocktails.

This summer is about better ingredients, better choices, and better drinks.

Above Board is here to help you pour all of it.

You don’t have to change how you drink. Just what you pour.

Wedding season is evolving.

Today’s couples are paying attention to every detail of the guest experience, from curated welcome bags and custom playlists to signature cocktails that feel elevated, intentional, and unforgettable.

But one part of weddings is quietly undergoing a major transformation:

The bar.

For years, guests looking for lighter or more mindful cocktail options were often limited to vodka sodas, light beer, or skipping cocktails altogether.

Now, modern couples are asking a different question:

Why can’t cocktails feel indulgent and intentional at the same time?

That’s exactly where Above Board Liqueurs enters the conversation.

As consumers become increasingly focused on wellness, lower sugar lifestyles, keto friendly options, diabetic friendly choices, and better ingredients, wedding cocktail culture is evolving right alongside them.

People still want to celebrate.

They still want beautiful cocktails.

They still want the classic flavors they know and love.

They simply want better options.

Cocktails Guests Thought Were Off Limits Are Back Again

One of the biggest shifts happening in hospitality right now is the demand for cocktails that feel inclusive.

For many guests, traditional cocktails have felt off limits for years because of hidden sugars, overly sweet mixers, or ingredients that simply didn’t align with their lifestyle goals.

Above Board Liqueurs was created to help change that.

Our zero sugar liqueurs are made with plant based sweeteners, are gluten free, and designed to bring traditional cocktail experiences back to the table in a more modern way.

Because nobody wants to feel stuck drinking only vodka sodas at a beautiful wedding.

Traditional flavors we all know and love are finally available again with Above Board Liqueurs.

Signature Cocktails Are Becoming Part of the Wedding Experience

Modern weddings are becoming more personal, more intentional, and more experience driven than ever before.

And signature cocktails are now a huge part of that experience.

Couples want guests to remember how the event felt.

That includes what was served at the bar.

Signature cocktails help create:
• visual moments
• conversation starters
• elevated guest experiences
• Instagram worthy celebrations
• memorable cocktail hours
• personal touches throughout the event

Above Board Liqueurs helps couples and venues create cocktails that feel celebratory without feeling overdone.

Imagine:
• a blush colored skinny margarita during cocktail hour
• Espresso Smartinis during dancing and dessert
• creamy after dinner cocktails around the firepit
• elegant spritzes during bridal showers
• custom no/low sugar cocktail menus for wellness conscious guests

These are the moments guests remember long after the wedding ends.

Why Venues, Caterers, and Mobile Bars Are Paying Attention

Consumer demand drives hospitality trends.

And today’s guests are asking for more thoughtful beverage options.

That creates a major opportunity for:
• wedding venues
• caterers
• hotels and resorts
• country clubs
• mobile bars
• bridal event planners

Above Board Liqueurs helps businesses open an untapped revenue stream for premium no/low sugar cocktails while keeping implementation simple for high volume events.

The cocktails are approachable, recognizable, and easy to integrate into existing bar programs.

That matters tremendously during weddings where speed, consistency, and guest experience are everything.

Better Ingredients. Better Choices. Better Together.

At Above Board Liqueurs, we believe celebration should feel inclusive.

Our products are crafted with plant based sweeteners and designed for consumers looking for:
• keto friendly cocktails
• diabetic friendly options
• gluten free choices
• modern cocktail alternatives
• elevated flavors without excessive sugar

Because wellness focused consumers deserve more than basic drink options.

And weddings deserve cocktails that feel just as special as the people celebrating.

Why health-conscious guests default to vodka sodas and how bars can unlock a new revenue stream with premium no/low sugar cocktails.

For years, one of the most consistent customers at the bar has also been one of the most misunderstood.

They sit down, scan the menu, and order a vodka soda.

Not because it is what they truly want
but because it is what they feel they can trust.

This guest is not disengaged. They are not uninterested in cocktails. In fact, they are often highly intentional about what they consume. They are thinking about sugar, how they feel the next day, their health goals, or managing things like blood sugar and weight.

And for a long time, the cocktail menu has not been built with them in mind.

Why Health-Conscious Drinkers Default to Vodka Sodas

The vodka soda has become the default for a reason. They can trust it.

It is simple. It is predictable. It feels safe.

For guests looking for low sugar alcohol options, it has been one of the few choices that does not come with uncertainty.

Even when guests try to branch out, the options are limited.

The “skinny margarita” movement was a clear signal. Customers were asking for something lighter, more aligned with their lifestyle. But in many cases, the solution did not fully meet their needs. Ingredients like agave are still forms of sugar, which can be a concern for those following keto lifestyles, managing diabetes, or simply trying to reduce sugar intake.

So they return to what they know.

Not because it is exciting
but because it feels reliable.

The Missed Opportunity for Bars and Restaurants

Here is where the industry has it wrong:

The vodka soda drinker is not a low-value guest.

They are an underserved one.

This is a customer who is already making intentional choices. They are often willing to spend more for quality, for ingredients they trust, and for an experience that aligns with their lifestyle.

But when the only dependable option is a vodka soda, that is where they stay.

This creates a hidden gap on menus across the country.

Bars and restaurants are unintentionally leaving revenue on the table by not offering elevated no or low sugar cocktails that these guests can confidently order.

The Rise of No and Low Sugar Cocktails

There is a shift happening in how people want to drink.

Consumers are becoming more aware of sugar content, ingredients, and how alcohol impacts their overall well-being. This shift spans across demographics, from younger drinkers to older guests who are prioritizing health more than ever before.

Search interest in terms like low sugar cocktails, keto cocktails, and cocktails for diabetics continues to grow, signaling a broader movement in the beverage industry.

And yet, most cocktail menus have not caught up.

What Happens When You Offer a Better Option

When a bar or restaurant introduces a thoughtfully crafted no or low sugar cocktail, something interesting happens.

That same guest who has been ordering a vodka soda begins to explore.

They upgrade.

They engage with the menu again.

Instead of defaulting to the simplest option, they now have a reason to choose something more premium, more intentional, and more aligned with their lifestyle.

This is not about replacing existing customers.
It is about unlocking a new level of engagement from customers who have been there all along.

A New Revenue Stream Hidden in Plain Sight

For operators, this represents more than just a menu update.

It is a new revenue stream.

By offering premium no or low sugar cocktails, bars and restaurants can:

Increase average ticket size
Differentiate their menu
Attract and retain health-conscious guests
Move beyond the limitations of traditional cocktail offerings

This is not a niche audience. It is a growing and loyal customer base that has been waiting for better options.

You Don’t Have to Change How People Drink

The biggest misconception is that this shift requires changing customer behavior.

It does not.

People still want to enjoy cocktails. They still want to socialize, celebrate, and experience something elevated.

What has been missing is the ability to do that without compromise.

You don’t have to change how people drink. Just what you pour.

Final Thought

The vodka soda is not the problem.

It is a signal.

A signal that a large group of customers has been navigating menus without truly finding what they are looking for.

For the operators who recognize this and respond, the opportunity is significant.

Because once you give people something they trust, and something they enjoy, they won’t go back to basic.

Take Away

If you’re thinking about how to better serve health-conscious guests or introduce a no/low sugar cocktail menu, we’re having these conversations every day with operators across the country.

Above Board Liqueurs is leading the charge in the Better For You beverage movement, helping bars and restaurants unlock a new revenue stream through premium, no/low sugar cocktails.

You don’t have to change how people drink. Just what you pour.

Above Board Cocktail Recipes

Innovation is brewing in the restaurant and bar industry as establishments embrace and cater to a growing demand for healthier libations. Enter Above Board Liqueurs, the pioneering and award-winning San Diego brand that is revolutionizing the way cocktails are served by introducing the concept of sugar-free and low-sugar ingredients for cocktails that don’t compromise on taste.

We spoke with founder, Nicole Slone, and her husband and partner, Brent Slone, to learn the story behind this innovative brand and its mission to offer guilt-free indulgence for today’s health-conscious, active consumer — who still likes to celebrate the day with a cocktail in hand.

Above Board Liqueurs: A Journey of Passion and Purpose

Entering the spirits industry wasn’t merely a career step for the couple, it emerged from their desire to disrupt the market with groundbreaking products in a category that had long been stagnant.

They are the ideal customers for their own product: driven, hard-working, active, and unwilling to be forced to choose between having a great cocktail and their health goals.

Not finding what they were looking for at their favorite bars and liquor stores, the couple embarked on this adventure with a clear mission: to shake up the industry with a revolutionary product that would redefine how we think about indulgence.

At the heart of Above Board lies a simple yet profound purpose—to offer cocktail enthusiasts an alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste or wellness. 

Nicole began crafting their formulas in her own kitchen with her now-husband Brent, driven by a desire to enjoy delicious beverages without sacrificing health. 

By prioritizing quality ingredients and innovative techniques, they created a line of sugar-free liqueurs with no glycemic load, ensuring that indulgence doesn’t come at the cost of well-being. 

The result has been celebrated by consumers and peers in the industry, as reflected in the brand’s growth and awards.

Reflecting on her journey, Nicole shares, “Above Board Liqueurs wasn’t just a brand; it was the realization of years of research, experimentation, and unwavering dedication. I knew there had to be a way to create no and low-sugar cocktails with natural ingredients to create beverages that didn’t just taste good but also aligned with a healthy lifestyle.”

The Power of Partnership

It’s already well-known that it’s an incredibly stressful experience to start your own business. Going into business with a spouse adds many layers of complexities that most couples would not want to broach.

For Nicole, the decision to add Brent as a business partner was a natural one. Brent’s business acumen, entrepreneurship, and extensive background in technology played a pivotal role, both personally and professionally towards building the foundation of their venture.

Nicole expresses her gratitude, “I am immensely grateful for the invaluable contributions of my husband, Brent. His unwavering support, belief in our vision, and willingness to share the journey with me have been the pillars of strength that propelled Above Board Liqueurs forward.”

Challenging Norms and Redefining Expectations

Nicole is reshaping the spirit scene with a fresh twist: health-conscious cocktails that taste good. She’s uncovered a gap in the market where consumers crave quality and are ready to invest in it.

Research shows there’s a real appetite for delicious healthier drinks, and that people are willing to pay more for the right mix, but the usual ‘skinny’ options made with artificial ingredients just don’t cut it on flavor. Above Board is using this insight to lead the industry towards this untapped market, promising a win-win of satisfaction and revenue for everyone involved.

It isn’t just about cocktails; it’s about transforming perceptions and practices within the spirits industry. By prioritizing taste and health in their offerings, Above Board is setting a new standard that customers are equally embracing. Their approach is not only refreshing pallets, but also refreshing market strategy.

As they continue to innovate and cater to the sophisticated preferences of modern drinkers, they’re proving that the future of spirits is flavorful, health-conscious, and prosperous. Above Board is at the forefront, leading the charge and crafting the next generation of premium cocktails that don’t just meet expectations, they exceeded them.

Crafting a Healthier Future, One Sip at a Time

The timing couldn’t be better for Nicole and Brent: they truly believe that the spirits industry is ready for a paradigm shift towards meeting the changing consumer tastes and expectations for healthier alternatives. 

Above Board answers the call perfectly, with a brand and product that embodies a vision of indulgence without compromise, offering modern health-focused consumers a guilt-free option that aligns with their values and dietary preferences. 

As Nicole looks ahead, she remains committed to empowering Above Board’s customers to savor moments of indulgence without hesitation, knowing that they’re taking care of themselves in the process. 

To build on their momentum, they will be expanding Above Board’s offerings to include four new flavors, as well as a ready-to-serve line and cocktail syrup range, representing an exciting opportunity to further solidify their position as a leader in the industry.

“We’re eager to introduce these new offerings to our loyal customers and continue pushing the boundaries in this industry. Stay tuned!”

Join the Above Board Liqueurs Movement!

For Nicole, Above Board’s role in the spirits industry is not just a business but a canvas for creativity, craftsmanship, and community. 

“What I love most about the spirits industry is the sense of belonging and collaboration. It’s not just about competition; it’s about partnership and enhancing other brands with Above Boards offerings, and coming together as a community to support and uplift each other.”

In the bustling heart of sunny Southern California, where vibrant lifestyles and health-conscious choices merge, a woman-owned business is changing the game in the world of cocktails. Above Board, founded by Nicole Slone and her husband Brent Slone, is revolutionizing the way we enjoy our favorite libations. With a passion for crafting healthier alternatives, this San Diego-based company is all about guilt-free indulgence without compromising on flavor.

The Power of Woman-Owned Innovation

Above Board is proudly woman-owned and led by Nicole Slone, who serves as the CEO. As a leading figure in the company, Nicole’s vision has been instrumental in driving Above Board’s mission to provide better, healthier choices for cocktail enthusiasts. Her dedication to creating a brand that promotes well-being is truly inspiring.

A Vision Born in SoCal

Above Board’s inception in late 2021 stemmed from a desire to fill a void in the alcoholic beverage industry. Nicole, Brent, and many others were disappointed by the lack of options for those seeking low-sugar or sugar-free alcoholic products. They recognized that the health-conscious movement had taken root in America, particularly among the younger generations, who were actively seeking alternatives to traditional cocktails laden with sugar.

Keto-Friendly and Health-Conscious

In a world where health-conscious choices are on the rise, Above Board stands out as a brand that understands the importance of catering to different lifestyles. Their commitment to offering keto-friendly options aligns perfectly with the preferences of health-conscious individuals.

A Local Gem with Global Ambitions

San Diego, often referred to as “America’s Finest City,” is the vibrant backdrop for Above Board’s journey. The city’s rich culture, active lifestyle, and love for good food and drinks have inspired the brand to craft exceptional products that cater to San Diego’s unique spirit. But Above Board’s ambitions reach far beyond the SoCal borders; they aim to bring their innovative liqueurs to a global audience.

Healthier Alternatives that Don’t Compromise on Flavor

What sets Above Board apart is its dedication to providing healthier alternatives that don’t compromise on flavor. Unlike many other sugar-free products on the market, Above Board’s liqueurs have zero diet aftertaste. They have mastered the art of crafting specialty cocktails tailored to suit your clientele, offering an exceptional experience free from commonly associated diet product nuances.

The Joy of Guilt-Free Indulgence

Above Board believes that savoring a great cocktail shouldn’t compromise your health or your enjoyment. Every sip of their award-winning Irish Cream, Coffee Liqueur, or Triple Sec is an invitation to indulge guilt-free. These liqueurs are perfect for crafting classic cocktails, bringing back after-dinner drinks, elevating happy hours, and creating holiday specialty cocktails.
