JOMO’s May Unboxing - No Alcohol Consumed In This Blog
Happy Cinco De Mayo one and all. A time to raise a salty or spicy margarita while the sun hopefully shines.
This month, JOMO Club’s May alcohol-free cocktail box brought JOMO members to the Mediterranean. Think beautiful sunsets with a bowl of olives and a spritz in hand. As we sit in the garden writing this, listening to the birds chirping, with warmth on my skin from the sun and a gently breeze against my face, I could be in the Med. This is what the JOMO team wanted to achieve for each and every member this month.
So, without further ado, lets delve into the May JOMO Box shall we?
Full sized bottle of Aegean Sky
New London Light
‘Aegean Sky’ is New London Light’s take on an alcohol-free aperitif. Enjoy sipping a spritz in the sun? This one is for you. Complex, sophisticated and honestly, everything people think doesn’t exist in an alcohol free spirit. Aegean Sky uses the Mediterranean coast as its inspiration combining sun-soaked bitter citrus and olive.
Double Dutch
Bottle of Lemon Tonic Water
Double Dutch mixers are a little bit of magic. All mindfully created with the aim of mixing or indeed wonderful to enjoy on their own. The lemon is one of our favourites and a Summertime classic. Mixed with lime and quassia for a tingling, citrus tang.
Serving Suggestion
Lemon Drop
The lemon mixer creates a perfect pairing for those that don’t favour tonic water and lifts the bitterness of Aegean Sky’s non-alcoholic aperitif.
50ml Aegean Sky over ice in a wine glass topped with Double Lemon. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
Goodrays
Raspberry & Guava
Goodrays offer a premium selection of CBD products and their drinks range happens to be a JOMO fridge essential. Whether we are going on a long car journey, taking a walk on the beach, e enjoying a friends BBQ or enjoying a homemade lunch, Goodrays CBD drinks are our daily dose of calm. They taste wonderful, offer a pick me up and allow us to take a breath.
The Raspberry & Guava can be wonderfully enjoyed on its own, or it also creates a great cocktail when enjoyed with todays spirit.
Serving Suggestion

Pentire
Ready to Drink Margarita
Pentire continue to deliver premium, coastal, mindful drinks time and time again. With only natural ingredients, they are always a go to spirit for us as we know we can enjoy the ritual and the flavour of a wonderful alcohol free drink, without a sugar hit. This month, we wanted to nod to Cinco De Mayo so included Pentire’s Margarita. All ready to drink for ease and easy to bring anywhere with you this Summer. Pentire combines coastal botanicals and blend with iconic Margarita ingredients such as lime, agave, sea salt and a dash of Mexican chilli.
Moody Brew
Bottle of Sunny
In an attempt to banish the UK’s chilly and rainy start to Spring, we bring Sunny to JOMO members this month. Notes of orange citrus, rosy floral aromas and a light carbonation, this serve is great to enjoy cold or can also be paired with Aegean Sky for a pick me up sunny serve
Artisan Drinks
Pink Citrus Tonic
Not only is this award-winning, but my oh my does it call to Summer! Clean and crisp, this tonic blends pink grapefruit, blood orange, lemon and a hint of basil. It also happens to be a perfect pairing for this months’ Pentire Coastal pulling out the grapefruit and blood orange from the spirit.
Serving Suggestion
50ml Pentire Coastal over ice in a wine glass topped with Pink Citrus and garnished with a wedge of pink grapefruit
Bloody Drinks
Virgin Mary
A Bloody Mary, the perfect brunch cocktail. Don’t you find though it is always tough to get the perfect balance of spices, savoury and sweet? Well, Bloody Drinks have already perfectly crafted the Virgin Mary to take out all the work while keeping all of the pleasure and flavour. Plus, it is an easy one to have in the fridge when entertaining. Bloody’s Virgin Mary uses the richest tomatoes, fresh lemon juice for acidity, Henderson’s Relish for some tangy umami, jalapeño infused pickle juice, horseradish and various spices for a complex, long lasting finish.
Mighty Fine
Vegan Milk Honeycomb Bar
Made in the UK and completely vegan, this Mighty Fine honeycomb is going to leave you wanting more.
Liberation Snacks
Nuts
When we think of being in the Med, we think of spritzes and a bowl of nuts. This month, JOMO showcased nuts that don’t cost the earth. All natural and the finest nuts you’ll find.
Garnishes
Maldon Salt & Orange
Maldon Salt is the perfect cooking essential but also creates the best salt rim for your Margaritas and Palomas. The Zest Co.’s dehydrated garnishes are the perfect way to garnish any drink when you don’t have the fresh fruit in the house.
20 Page Members Magazine
To guide JOMO members through the wonderful May JOMO box, inside included a 20 page printed members magazine which included recipes of the months’ drinks, behind the brand interviews and of course a real life journey.
