Not every great August drink needs alcohol — sometimes you just want something cold and fizzy that isn't another soda fountain. This month's zero-proof pick is the Royal Berry Spritzer at Bar Riva, the open-air pool bar at Disney's Riviera Resort.
What's in it
Blackberry, pomegranate, and lime blended with Topo Chico Blueberry Hibiscus sparkling water — $6.59. It's berry-forward and genuinely tart rather than syrupy-sweet, with real fizz behind it. That's the difference between a crafted mocktail and a flavored lemonade: this one drinks like a grown-up spritz, not a kids' cup.
Where
Bar Riva sits poolside at Disney's Riviera Resort, in the EPCOT resort area. The Riviera is a Skyliner stop, so it's an easy hop from EPCOT or Hollywood Studios — which makes this a genuinely reachable mid-day detour, not just a treat for guests staying there.
Cold, fizzy, and zero-proof by a pool in the EPCOT area — that's the reset that gets you back into a park for the evening instead of tapping out at 3 PM.
Why August
August is the month to plan your afternoons around shade and a cold drink. A Skyliner ride to a quiet resort pool, a fizzy berry spritzer, and thirty minutes off your feet is one of the best heat resets on property — and it costs less than $7 and no hangover. Send the designated driver, the expecting friend, or anyone who's just not drinking today; they'll leave happier than the cocktail crowd.
That's one zero-proof pick, scouted — the drink and the pool worth the Skyliner ride for it.
It's one of the best non-alcoholic drinks mapped in Starlit Magic, by location, so you always know where the great zero-proof options are.
