What are the best sparkling drinks to sip during pregnancy—when you still want something that feels special?

Think: crisp bubbles, grown-up flavor, and a ritual you’ll actually look forward to—without needing a “wine substitute.”

Choosing a sparkling drink during pregnancy usually comes down to a few non-negotiables: it should taste adult (not syrupy), feel celebratory in a glass, and fit your day—whether you want something bright and citrusy at lunch or something softer and more winding-down at night.

A good “best of” shortlist tends to include:

  • Light bubbles that don’t overwhelm
  • Complex flavor (bitter-citrus, herbal, fruit + spice)
  • No caffeine (if that’s a priority for you)
  • Lower sweetness so you don’t feel weighed down
  • A familiar ritual—pop, pour, garnish, sip

De Soi was made for that apéritif moment—a sparkling, non-alcoholic option that’s intentionally layered, not candy-sweet.

What should you look for in a “pregnancy-friendly” sparkling drink?

1) Something that isn’t overly sweet If your taste has changed (hello, heightened sweetness sensitivity), reach for flavors with citrus, herbs, spice, or gentle bitterness.

2) Bubbles that feel crisp—not harsh The best sparkling drinks taste refreshing, not sharp. Lighter carbonation can feel easier to sip.

3) Clear ingredient transparency If you’re scanning labels more than ever, pick drinks that make it easy to understand what you’re pouring.

4) A flavor that matches the moment

  • Bright + zesty for daytime
  • Rosé-inspired + fruity for social plans
  • Deeper, richer notes for evenings when you still want a “nightcap vibe”

De Soi fits nicely here because the flavors read like an apéritif—built to be sipped slowly, not slammed quickly.

A simple way to choose: match the flavor to your craving.

Start with what sounds good *right now*—then let the bubbles do the rest.

If you’re craving something that feels like a “real drink”

The best sparkling options don’t try to mimic wine—they deliver the same ritual and complexity in their own lane.

Try this at-home pour (easy, not fussy):

  • Serve cold in a wine glass
  • Add plenty of ice
  • Finish with a citrus garnish

That small upgrade is what makes a quick sip feel like a moment. De Soi was built for that exact energy—apéritif vibes, zero-proof.
