About Big Hat

During the interview, we sampled Big Hat’s Nojito and Margarita mocktails that have zero alcohol and real Komucha. Healthy and big on taste, the refreshing drinks are gluten free with no added sugar plus can be dressed with their Compadres™ Lime or Chile Lime Salt, which are included in the fixins’ kit found in every 4-pack box.

Big Hat is also a proud supporter of the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring and celebrating Texas songwriters who have played an important role in defining and interpreting Texas’ distinctive culture. Big Hat celebrates the 2024 Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame honorees, including The Woodlands local Jack Ingram (who will play the next day after the Wine Walk at The Woodlands 50th Anniversary Free Concert on Friday, October 18), by featuring the Texas songwriters on the limited edition commemorative cans of the Big Hat Margarita Mocktail and Nojito.

“Inspired by Legends, Enjoyed with Friends,” Big Hat mocktails were created to serve those who were looking for an alcohol alternative, but still provide the same create taste and experience to share with friends. Even the labels are similar to Big Hat’s line of cocktail flavors with alcohol, so that non-drinkers and those who are sober curious during Sober October do not feel singled out and can enjoy the same great flavor as their friends.

Big Hat is one of the many brands that will be serving samples of their delicious beverages at the 20th Annual H-E-B Wine Walk on Thursday, October 17 from 6 – 9 p.m. and Big Hat is now available to purchase at your local H-E-B.
