Mountain Valley Sparkling Cocktails

"America’s Premium Water since 1871" has not always been known as a leading edge beverage producer. The last major innovation happened in the 1920’s when Mountain Valley went out on a limb by radically introducing a "sparkling" version of its natural spring water. But we recently discovered Mountain Valley’s passionate fans have been happily innovating on their own by using Mountain Valley’s natural spring and sparkling waters to create new, wonderful tasting adult beverages!

Scroll below and find cocktail recipes using Mountain Valley created by famous American spirits makers, leading restauranteurs, noted mixologists, superior ingredient makers, and local proprietors of some of our preferred "watering holes." And if you discover your own favorite recipe is missing, please let us know and we’ll add it to the list and credit you with its invention!
