    Wild May Cup Mocktail – A Fresh & Herbal Beltane Inspired Drink

    May 15, 2025 /

    There’s something undeniably enchanting about early May – when the garden bursts into bloom, the air smells green and alive, and every meal feels like a celebration. That’s exactly the spirit behind the Wild May Cup Mocktail, a vibrant blend of fresh berries, mint, citrus, and aromatic bitters. This spring mocktail was inspired by Beltane, a cross-quarter festival rooted in ancient Celtic tradition that celebrates fertility, fire, and new growth. Traditionally, revelers would sip herbal May Cups – infused with blossoms, herbs, and wine – to honor the season. This non-alcoholic version captures that same energy with a playful mix of ingredients that feels both grounded and joyful. The Wild…

Today’s Magic: The Summer Solstice arrives! As the sun reaches its peak, consider this:

“The longest day of the year is a celebration of warmth, abundance, and light. Ancient traditions marked the Solstice by gathering outdoors, honoring the sun, and sharing gratitude for all that grows. Light a candle, brew a cup of lemon balm or chamomile tea, or take a moment to bask in the sun—even if just for a few breaths. These small rituals connect us to the magic woven into this turning of the Wheel.”

Let today be a little ritual:
Open a window, let sunlight flood in, sip something herbal, or jot down what's blooming in your life right now. Happy Solstice!
