Parch is a non-alcoholic, agave-based ready-to-drink cocktail brand inspired by the Sonoran Desert. It was founded in 2022 by Rodolfo Aldana and Ila Byrne, who set out to capture the spirit of agave without the alcohol and to craft their drinks "in harmony with nature." Each canned cocktail is built on organic blue weber agave, prickly pear cactus fruit and desert botanicals, following the founders' "what grows together, goes together" philosophy.
Instead of ethanol, Parch substitutes a custom blend of 185mg of active adaptogens per can — L-Theanine (50mg), Ashwagandha (35mg) and American Ginseng (100mg) — selected by a naturopathic doctor for stress relief, antioxidant support and wakeful relaxation. The drinks are 100% plant-based, gluten-free and vegan, contain roughly 70 calories per 8.4 fl oz can, and the brand describes itself as non-alcoholic with less than 0.5% ABV. The core lineup includes the bittersweet, citrus-forward Prickly Paloma and the smoky, spicy Spiced Piñarita, alongside a Desert Margarita and Sedona Spritz.
Parch grew quickly after launch: by mid-2023, around its first anniversary, it was the Champion of BevNET's New Beverage Showdown 25 and reported availability across 47 states and roughly 550 stores. The brand pledges 1% of profits to The Mission Garden in Tucson, Arizona, an ethnobotanical heritage garden supporting Sonoran Desert biodiversity.

Where to drink Parch
4 verified venues pour Parch.
The Zero Co.
Poncey-Highland
The Zero Co. is Atlanta's first dedicated non-alcoholic bottle shop, opened in December 2022 in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood by Cory and Malory Atkinson, the husband-and-wife team behind nearby Elemental Spirits Co. The shop grew out of the rapidly growing zero-proof section at Elemental and stocks more than 500 non-alcoholic products — spirit alternatives, de-alcoholized wines, NA beers, and ready-to-drink cans — alongside locally made shrubs, vinegars, bitters, and elixirs. A bar-cart sample station lets customers taste before buying, and the space hosts tastings and events. Carried brands include Ghia, Seedlip, Lyre's, Wilderton, Ritual Zero Proof, De Soi, Three Spirit, Free Spirits, Athletic Brewing, and more. As co-owner Malory Atkinson put it, the goal was a "warm and welcoming" space for all kinds of drinkers and non-drinkers.
HEX Superette
Govans
HEX Superette is the market, cafe, and bar from Shane and Meaghan Carpenter, whose HEX Ferments has been making kraut, kimchi, and kombucha since 2013 — production still runs out of the back of the same Govans building. The Kitchen & Bar menu keeps a dedicated NA Cocktails section: the Teetotally Tiki builds Ghia apéritif over HEX's own smoky pineapple kombucha with warm spices and lime, the Dandy Tonic pours house tonic with dandelion, chicory root, and lemon, and the Spicy Melissa mixes umami ginger syrup, lime, ginger, and tonic. Six house kombuchas — butterfly lime, ginger, lazy days, smoky pineapple, turmeric tonic, and a rotating seasonal — pour by the glass, and the farm sodas are built from house seasonal fruit concentrates and shrubs. The attached market stocks Ghia spritzes alongside Parch's Desert Margarita and Prickly Paloma to take home.
LaVerne's
Woodlawn
LaVerne's is a retro Woodlawn neighborhood bar and restaurant that opened in September 2025 from the team behind Dig A Pony and Hey Love. Its non-alcoholic lineup — listed alongside the cocktails — includes named mocktails, NA beer (including N.A. Guinness) and rotating NA wine, priced roughly $3 to $11.
Sasha's Wine Bar on DeMun
DeMun
A DeMun-neighborhood fixture for more than two decades, Sasha's Wine Bar anchors a leafy Clayton block with a cellar of more than 4,200 bottles and a wine list curated by sommelier Denise Mueller. The zero-proof corner of that list is quietly excellent for a classic wine bar: NoZeco sparkling brut poured by the glass, Giesen alcohol-removed Sauvignon Blanc, and a trio of Leitz cans spanning sparkling Riesling, sparkling rosé, and Zero Point Five Pinot Noir. A dedicated N/A Cocktails section adds a house alcohol-free spritz, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, and Parch's Desert Margarita, while Athletic Brewing and Best Day cover non-alcoholic beer.
