Heartburn? Not on our watch. Summer should be about soaking up the sun, not suffering through symptoms. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few refreshing mocktails that won’t rock the reflux boat, and pair perfectly with RefluxRaft after meals or before bed to keep things calm, cool, and collected.
These hydrating drinks are low-acid, alcohol-free, and full of flavor; no fiery surprises here. Let’s raise a glass (not stomach acid) to summer comfort!
1. Cucumber Mint Cooler
Crisp, soothing, and practically a spa day in a cup.
Ingredients
-
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
-
6–8 mint leaves
-
Splash of coconut water
-
Cold filtered water
-
Ice
Instructions
Muddle cucumber and mint gently in a glass. Add a splash of coconut water, fill with ice and top with water. Stir lightly. Sip slowly after a light dinner and follow with RefluxRaft for smooth sailing into the evening.
Why it works: Cucumber and mint are naturally cooling and hydrating, perfect after a warm-weather meal.
2. Berry Gentle Fizz
A berry delicious way to unwind—without waking the reflux dragon.
Ingredients

Handful of blueberries or raspberries (steer clear of citrus!)

Splash of aloe juice (unsweetened)
-
Cold water or flat coconut water
-
Ice
Instructions
Lightly muddle berries, add aloe, pour over ice and top with water. Stir, sip, smile.
Follow with RefluxRaft after a BBQ meal to help keep things mellow, not melty.
3. Coconut Lime Soother
Tropical vibes without tropical tummy troubles.

-
1 cup coconut water
-
Juice of ¼ lime (just enough for brightness, not too much acid)
-
Ice
Instructions
Combine, stir, and serve over ice. Garnish with a lime wheel if you’re feeling fancy.
Keep it mild: Too much lime can be a trigger, so just a splash does the trick.
4. Melon Basil Slush
Reflux-safe and seriously refreshing.
Ingredients
-
2 cups cubed honeydew or watermelon (chilled or frozen)
-
3–4 basil leaves

Splash of coconut water

Steep chamomile with peach slices, let chill, then serve over ice. Add a mint sprig if you like. Chamomile is known for its calming effects, especially on the gut.
Before-bed bonus: Follow with RefluxRaft for lights-out reflux relief.
Hydration with Intention
Mocktails are a fun way to sip smarter, especially when you’re keeping reflux in check. But If you decide to give these mocktails a boozy twist—we get it, summer happens—just be sure to keep RefluxRaft nearby. Alcohol can be a common reflux trigger, and while we’re all for enjoying the moment, having a dose of RefluxRaft after your drink can help soften the burn if it sneaks up. Cheers to sipping smarter, however you mix it!
Because life is better reflux-free!
