Collective Arts Botany Energy Blue Crush, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada: The Botany Energy Blue Crush is an alcohol-free drink with a gorgeous blueberry lemonade flavour that’s low in sugar and uses 120 milligrams of natural green tea caffeine to give you a gentle wave of energy without the jitters. It’s also packed with adaptogens, like ginseng to help manage stress, plus vitamins B-12 and B-6, and L-theanine. It’s basically a tiny life coach in a can, but one that doesn’t ask about your childhood. What I also love about Collective Arts is that every can features original artwork from emerging artists, so you’re sipping something beautiful inside and out. You can get Botany Energy Blue Crush from the Collective Arts website at collectiveartscreativity.com or in 7-Eleven stores across the country. This is your fridge essential for busy mornings or weekend productivity sessions. Keep them chilled and ready—future you will send present you a thank-you note. Possibly a fruit basket.

Collective Arts Perpetual Paloma, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada: This is your Midweek Mirth Maker. The Perpetual Paloma is a blissed-out citrus bomb from Collective Arts. It’s a zero-proof cocktail that delivers a deliciously combo of grapefruit and lime followed by a light, sophisticated bitterness that makes you forget there’s no tequila involved. It's like the drink equivalent of that friend who's genuinely fun without needing the karaoke machine. It is gluten-free, vegan, no preservatives, and low in sugar. It is gluten-free, vegan, no preservatives, and low in sugar. It probably also volunteers at the children’s hospital on weekends and returns library books early. Stock at least a four-pack because these are perfect for any weeknight. Store them in the fridge door so they are always chilled and ready. Shelf life is excellent since they are sealed, so buy in bulk without worrying. Wednesday nights are not the time for decision fatigue. Bonus tip: If you have friends over and someone wants wine, but you have the Paloma, serve it in a wine glass with a grapefruit wheel. Eighty percent of hosting is just confidence and citrus.
