It’s bright, sweet, and playful – exactly what you’d want in your hand while riding your bike barefoot to a game of pick-up baseball or running through the sprinklers on a scorching afternoon. One sip, and you’re instantly transported to those carefree days when time didn’t matter and all that existed was the next laugh, the next pop fly, or the next adventure over the neighborhood fence.

Notes
A drink that captures the taste of a carefree summer afternoon—whether you’re nine or ninety.
Paired with The Sandlot, this mocktail becomes even more evocative. That film is pure nostalgia – unapologetically innocent, joyfully mischievous, and filled with the kind of camaraderie we all long for. Just like the movie, The Backyard Breeze is for everyone. It’s non-alcoholic and all-inclusive, perfect for family movie nights, backyard BBQs, or kids’ parties where adults want to join the fun too.
Together, The Sandlot and this drink celebrate friendship, freedom, and the magic of being a kid in summer. It’s a tribute to the days when the biggest worry was losing your ball… and the world was just your backyard.
