Nov 24, 2025
We’re honored to share that Sēkwl Beverage House has been featured in a Forbes roundup of the best ready-to-drink cocktails and non-alcoholic options for the holiday season. As the RTD category continues to surge — jumping from $860M to a projected $2.66B by 2033 — we’re proud to represent the wellness-forward, non-alcoholic side of the movement.
This story by Forbes contributor Lanee Lee highlights the growing consumer demand for functional, elevated, easy-to-serve holiday drinks. And we couldn't be more excited to be included.

Forbes highlighted Sēkwl as a “very fun upgrade” to any holiday bar cart — especially for hosts who don’t want non-drinkers stuck with “plain seltzer and sadness.”
From the article:
“Sēkwl (pronounced ‘sequel’) is a very fun upgrade and a perfect gift for a wellness warrior host… a Colorado-born brand making sparkling adaptogenic waters with functional mushrooms and 100 percent organic ingredients, but in a way that still feels like a treat, not a supplement routine.”
Forbes specifically spotlighted two holiday-friendly flavors:
👉 Cacao, Holy Basil & Cinnamon with Reishi and Chaga functional mushrooms: Featuring organic Reishi + organic Chaga — cozy, grounding, festive
👉 Cranberry Lime with Cordyceps & Lion’s Mane functional mushrooms: Bright, crisp, functional — a holiday crowd pleaser (https://drinksekwl.com/products/cranberry-lime-adaptogenic-sparkling-water-12-pack)
And as Lanee wrote: “With either flavor, your brain will thank you.”
We’ll take that!
